numberThe current timestep.
Examples
Example 1: Getting the time step. function update(dt)
   if dt == love.timer.getDelta() then
      print("My God! They're equal!")
   else
      print("... should not be possible.")
   end
end

function draw()
   -- But we can also get the delta here, if we
   -- really want to.
   local dt = love.timer.getDelta()
end
