createManualTicker

Creates a stopped PixiJS ticker with step-based frame advancement methods.

type ManualTicker = {
  ticker: Ticker;
  fastForwardFrames(frames: number, deltaTime?: number): void;
  fastForwardTime(totalTimeMS: number, stepSizeMS?: number): void;
};

fastForwardFrames()

Section titled “fastForwardFrames()”

Advance a specific number of frames, each with an optional delta time (defaults to 16ms).

const manual = createManualTicker();
let calls = 0;
manual.ticker.add(() => { calls++; });


manual.fastForwardFrames(10);       // 10 frames at 16ms each
manual.fastForwardFrames(5, 33);    // 5 frames at 33ms each (~30fps)
expect(calls).toBe(15);

fastForwardTime()

Section titled “fastForwardTime()”

Advance frames to simulate a total elapsed time, splitting it into steps of a given size (defaults to ~16ms).

manual.fastForwardTime(1000);           // 1 second in ~16ms steps
manual.fastForwardTime(500, 50);        // 500ms in 50ms steps
