--- Logger module
-- @module Logger

Logger = {}

--- Creates a new logger object.<p>
-- In debug mode, the logger writes immediately. Otherwise the loggers buffers lines.
-- The logger flushes after 60 seconds has elapsed since the last message.
-- <p>
-- When loggers are created, a table of options may be specified. The valid options are:
-- <code>
--    log_ticks      -- whether to include the game tick timestamp in logs. Defaults to false.
--    file_extension -- a string that overides the default 'log' file extension.
--    force_append   -- each time a logger is created, it will always append, instead of
--                   --   the default behavior, which is to write out a new file, then append
-- </code>
