MainLoop

CubicVR.MainLoop

The MainLoop provides a simple way to wrap your main drawing loop. It also provides a CubicVR.Timer as well as the WebGL Context as two parameters to your callback respectively. MainLoop will use the window.*requestAnimationFrame() methods to manage framerate where available and fallback to setInterval() otherwise.

Constructor:

### _MainLoop( loopCallback, doClear )_ **Parameters**: *loopCallback* - Your main draw loop function, it will recieve the parameters _loopCallback( timer, gl )_ for a CubicVR.Timer and the WebGL Context. *doClear* - Whether or not to call gl.clear( DEPTH_BUFFER | COLOR_BUFFER ) before each frame. **Returns**: if called with ` new MainLoop(..) ` will return a MainLoop instance, none if used as singleton. **Typical Usage**:

var myloop = new CubicVR.MainLoop(function (timer,gl) {  
  // ...  
});  

or

CubicVR.MainLoop(function (timer,gl) {  
  // ...  
});
