/**
 * A ClockObject keeps track of elapsed real time and discrete time.  In
 * normal mode, get_frame_time() returns the time as of the last time tick()
 * was called.  This is the "discrete" time, and is usually used to get the
 * time as of, for instance, the beginning of the current frame.
 *
 * In other modes, as set by set_mode() or the clock-mode config variable,
 * get_frame_time() may return other values to simulate different timing
 * effects, for instance to perform non-real-time animation.  See set_mode().
 *
 * In all modes, get_real_time() always returns the elapsed real time in
 * seconds since the ClockObject was constructed, or since it was last reset.
 *
 * You can create your own ClockObject whenever you want to have your own
 * local timer.  There is also a default, global ClockObject intended to
 * represent global time for the application; this is normally set up to tick
 * every frame so that its get_frame_time() will return the time for the
 * current frame.
