[SDL] Delta time?

[necronology at cox.net]

Wow that paper is something. My opinion is that he easy answer is as follows>
td2=SDL_GetTicks();    dt=((float)(td2-td))*0.1;    td=td2;
//the function SDL_GetTicks() is not used in any other part of the game.
//the product variable sdlgt tells how many milliseconds the game has been played
// (w/o being paused)
if(!paused){sdlgt+=dt*10;}
// Move object up at rate that compensates
if(keys[SDLK_UP]){ship.yadd((int)(-2*dt));}
//does this make sense or have I complicated it?
