How do I make a game loop for my Idle Game?

Interval-Based Resource Generators

So, you want to build an idle/incremental game in JavaScript and you’ve read on the internet that setInterval is the way to go when it comes to handling resources that automatically generate over time.

You get started, you write down your setInterval function, you set it to trigger once every 1000 milliseconds, and every time it triggers, you add 1 to the player’s total resource count. Perfect. It works.

Uh-oh.

      description: "blogs api gateway",
      deploy: true,
      deployOptions: {
        // this enables caching on our api gateway, with a ttl of five minutes (unless overridden per method)
        cachingEnabled: true,
        cacheClusterEnabled: true,
