<methods>
<method name="get_frames_drawn">
<return type="int">
</return>
<description>
Returns the total number of frames drawn.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_frames_per_second" qualifiers="const">
<return type="float">
</return>
<description>
Returns the frames per second of the running game.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_iterations_per_second" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int">
</return>
<description>
Returns the number of fixed iterations per second (for fixed process and physics).
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_main_loop" qualifiers="const">
<return type="MainLoop">
</return>
<description>
Returns the main loop object (see [MainLoop] and [SceneTree]).

<argument index="0" name="name" type="String">

<description>
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_target_fps" qualifiers="const">
<return type="float">
</return>
<description>
Returns the desired frames per second. If the hardware cannot keep up, this setting may not be respected. It defaults to 0, which indicates no limit.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_time_scale">
<return type="float">
</return>
<description>
Returns 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.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_version_info" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Dictionary">
</return>
<description>
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
"revision" - Holds the revision (e.g. "custom-build") as a String
"string" - major + minor + patch + status + revision in a single String
