Kiwi.Time.MasterClock Class
The MasterClock tracks time elapsed since the application started. Each ClockManager has only one MasterClock which is automatically generated when the game initially booted. You should not access it directly, use the Clock and Timer classes instead.

Properties
_started
Number
private
The time when the MasterClock was started.
delta
Number
public
The time it takes for the time to update. Using this you can calculate the fps.
idealDelta
Number
public
The ideal frame delta in milliseconds. This is automatically adjusted when the game sets a new frameRate.
now
Number
public
The current time, this is straight from the Date.now() method and is updated every frame BEFORE the delta.
rate
Number
public
The rate at which ideal frames are passing. Multiply per-frame iterations by this factor to create smooth movement. For example, if the ideal fps is 60, but you're only getting 45, rate will equal 1.333.
time
Number
public
The current time. This is updated every frame but AFTER the delta is calculated.
