+    A clock for managing elapsed time, delta time, and timers
+
+    A clock has a tick method that can either be called directly
+    or is called by its parent clock. If a clock has a parent
+    DO NOT CALL its tick method.
+
+    A clock can have any number of child timers or clocks.
+    The children and timers are stored in unordered sets, therefore
+    the properties which return them make no promises on the order.
+
+    The tick speed of a clock is how fast time elapses for it.
+
+    When a clock calls tick on its children it passes its modified delta_time
+
+    Arcade's clocks are synchronous. No matter how long an update takes
+    all queries to a clock's elapsed time will be the same. This ensures
+    that two objects who have the same lifespan and are created at the
+    same time will die on the same frame in the future.
