Returns the current engine version information in a Dictionary.
"major" - Holds the major version number as a String
"minor" - Holds the minor version number as a String
"patch" - Holds the patch version number as a String
"status" - Holds the status (e.g. "beta", "rc1", "rc2", ... "stable") as a String
"build" - Holds the build name (e.g. "custom-build") as a String
"string" - major + minor + patch + status + build in a single String

<member name="editor_hint" type="bool" setter="set_editor_hint" getter="is_editor_hint">
If [code]true[/code], it is running inside the editor. Useful for tool scripts.

<member name="iterations_per_second" type="int" setter="set_iterations_per_second" getter="get_iterations_per_second">
The number of fixed iterations per second (for fixed process and physics).
</member>
<member name="target_fps" type="int" setter="set_target_fps" getter="get_target_fps">
The desired frames per second. If the hardware cannot keep up, this setting may not be respected. Defaults to 0, which indicates no limit.
</member>
<member name="time_scale" type="float" setter="set_time_scale" getter="get_time_scale">
Controls how fast or slow the in-game clock ticks versus the real life one. It defaults to 1.0. A value of 2.0 means the game moves twice as fast as real life, whilst a value of 0.5 means the game moves at half the regular speed.
