Methods

	Name	Description
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by the GlobalTime
	GetSecondsSinceStartToday	Returns an accurate seconds float value for today, would get inaccurate with more days. View code on GitHub
	GetTicks
	Update	View code on GitHub

Properties

	Name	Description
	Current	StopwatchTime by default, easy to change (tests use MockTime, resolvers restart time). View code on GitHub
