How is this computed?
round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-03. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

Flicks is a small C++ header library defining the 'flick', a unit of time equal to 1/705600000 of a second that exactly represents common video frame durations and audio sample durations as integers. It integrates with std::chrono::duration and std::ratio for timing work in media and simulation code.
Use cases
- represent video frame durations exactly without floating point drift
- time media playback against the system high resolution clock
- handle common audio sample rates in integer time units
- work with NTSC frame rates like 23.976 and 29.97 fps
- do simulation timing for games or media applications
When to avoid
- you need to handle complex variable frame rate playback scenarios
- you are not working in C++ or with std::chrono
