PIXI.ticker.shared

[Gerente]

Hello,  why the shared ticker is automatically initialized when PIXI lib is included??, should not be started manually?

https://jsfiddle.net/y7hu9pu5/1/

What I understand between a PIXI.App and Renderer is that the App includes the Renderer, the Ticker and the first node. So if I use PIXI.autoDetectRenderer is because I just need a renderer and there is no reason to start the ticker unless I ask for it.

PIXI.ticker.shared.add(function(dt) {
    console.log('tick',dt)
})

 

Thanks

Shared ticker has "autoStart=true" so it starts just when you add the listener. https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/blob/dev/src/core/ticker/Ticker.js#L262 

Create AnimatedSprite, play it and shared ticker will be started. 

I dont use shared ticker for personal projects.

Any reason why is "autoStart=true" by default?, it will be running in the background by default unless I stop it.

because there are no other mechanisms for AnimatedSprite. Pixi doesnt have links between AnimatedSprite and Application. I want to add Stage object that manages it but so far my PR is not investigated.
