Thats what i said!!!!!!!! Its called realtime programming.

Well you figure out the time it took for the last frame to render, in seconds. Typically you'd get very small values, something like 0.015 or something. Then for every time you need time-based movement, instead of

player.xpos += 0.1;

you'd use

player.xpos += 0.1 * time;

In this example, this would move the player's x position by 0.1 units per second, interpolating the movement on each frame automatically.
