# UpTime

UpTime [Native Extension](https://www.defold.com/manuals/extensions/) for the [Defold Game Engine](https://www.defold.com) 

This Defold Native Extension allows receiving a system uptime.

**This timer resets when user restarts their device!**

## Possible use cases

* If you want to use a timer for restore lives (or something else) in your game without server but want to have better protection against cheaters who just change system time.

* Seed for math.randomseed() (thanks @dragosha for that use case idea)

## Platforms

* **iOS**

* **MacOS**

* **Android**

* **Windows**

## Installation

To use this library in your Defold project, add the needed version URL to your `game.project` dependencies from [Releases](https://github.com/AGulev/defold-extension-uptime/releases)



## API

#### `uptime.get()`

Returns system uptime in seconds.

```lua

local function update_uptime(self)

  if uptime then

    local uptime = uptime.get()

    print(uptime) -- 809031

  end

end

```
