-- Takes desired number of frames per second (fps). The resulting signal
-- gives a sequence of time deltas as quickly as possible until it reaches
-- the desired FPS. A time delta is the time between the last frame and the
-- current frame.
fps : Number a -> Signal Time

-- Same as the fps function, but you can turn it on and off. Allows you
-- to do brief animations based on user input without major ineffeciencies.
-- The first time delta after a pause is always zero, no matter how long
-- the pause was. This way summing the deltas will actually give the amount
-- of time that the output signal has been running.
fpsWhen : Number a -> Signal Bool -> Signal Time

-- Takes a time interval t. The resulting signal is the current time,
-- updated every t.
every : Time -> Signal Time

-- Takes a time `t` and any signal. The resulting boolean signal
-- is true for time `t` after every event on the input signal.
-- So ``(second `since` Mouse.clicks)`` would result in a signal
-- that is true for one second after each mouse click and false
-- otherwise.
