 /**

  * A standard JME3 application that extends SimpleApplication or

  * Application tries as hard as it can to keep in sync with

  * user-time. If a ball is rolling at 1 game-mile per game-hour in the

  * game, and you wait for one user-hour as measured by the clock on

  * your wall, then the ball should have traveled exactly one

  * game-mile. In order to keep sync with the real world, the game

  * throttles its physics engine and graphics display. If the

  * computations involved in running the game are too intense, then the

  * game will first skip frames, then sacrifice physics accuracy. If

  * there are particularly demanding computations, then you may only

  * get 1 fps, and the ball may tunnel through the floor or obstacles

  * due to inaccurate physics simulation, but after the end of one

  * user-hour, that ball will have traveled one game-mile.

  *

  * When we're recording video or audio, we don't care if the game-time

  * syncs with user-time, but instead whether the time in the recorded

  * video (video-time) syncs with user-time. To continue the analogy,

  * if we recorded the ball rolling at 1 game-mile per game-hour and

  * watched the video later, we would want to see 30 fps video of the

  * ball rolling at 1 video-mile per user-hour. It doesn't matter how

  * much user-time it took to simulate that hour of game-time to make

  * the high-quality recording.  If an Application uses this IsoTimer

  * instead of the normal one, we can be sure that every call to

  * simpleUpdate, for example, corresponds to exactly (1 / fps) seconds

  * of game-time. This lets us record perfect video and audio even on

  * a slow computer.
