<method name="get_version_info" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Dictionary">
</return>
<description>
Returns the current engine version information in a Dictionary.
"major" - Holds the major version number as an int
"minor" - Holds the minor version number as an int
"patch" - Holds the patch version number as an int
"hex" - Holds the full version number encoded as an hexadecimal int with one byte (2 places) per number (see example below)
"status" - Holds the status (e.g. "beta", "rc1", "rc2", ... "stable") as a String
"build" - Holds the build name (e.g. "custom-build") as a String
"string" - major + minor + patch + status + build in a single String
The "hex" value is encoded as follows, from left to right: one byte for the major, one byte for the minor, one byte for the patch version. For example, "3.1.12" would be [code]0x03010C[/code]. Note that it's still an int internally, and printing it will give you its decimal representation, which is not particularly meaningful. Use hexadecimal literals for easy version comparisons from code:
[codeblock]
if Engine.get_version_info().hex &gt;= 0x030200:
# do things specific to version 3.2 or later
else:
# do things specific to versions before 3.2
[/codeblock]

<member name="editor_hint" type="bool" setter="set_editor_hint" getter="is_editor_hint">
If [code]true[/code], it is running inside the editor. Useful for tool scripts.

<member name="iterations_per_second" type="int" setter="set_iterations_per_second" getter="get_iterations_per_second">
The number of fixed iterations per second (for fixed process and physics).

</member>
<member name="target_fps" type="int" setter="set_target_fps" getter="get_target_fps">
The desired frames per second. If the hardware cannot keep up, this setting may not be respected. Defaults to 0, which indicates no limit.
</member>
<member name="time_scale" type="float" setter="set_time_scale" getter="get_time_scale">
Controls how fast or slow the in-game clock ticks versus the real life one. It defaults to 1.0. A value of 2.0 means the game moves twice as fast as real life, whilst a value of 0.5 means the game moves at half the regular speed.
