+ ## Time
73
+
74
+ In the simulated environment, time advances only at the pace that the simulator
75
+ is run. The relation between this time and the real passage of time depends on a
76
+ couple of factors: the speed the simulation is configured to run at and the
77
+ ability of the computer running the simulation to process it fast enough.
78
+
79
+ You can configure and observe the speed the simulator is running at from the toolbar in webots:
80
+
81
+ ![ ] ({{ site.baseurl }}/images/content/simulator/speed-toolbar.png)
82
+
83
+ Here the simulation has run for 13.28 seconds, but is currently paused (the
84
+ speed multiplier shows 0.00×). You could choose to step a single time increment,
85
+ run the simulator at real speed (▶), or run the simulator at various faster
86
+ speeds (▶▶ and ▶▶▶).
87
+
88
+ These differences mean that your code will need to use a different mechanism to
89
+ find the current time or to sleep within the simulation. Find out more by
90
+ heading over to the [ simulator programming docs] ( ./programming ) .

Once you have the simulator installed you can begin [ programming your robot] ( ./programming ) in the simulator.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
