>Adds a callback function to be run after the specified number of
|
|
milliseconds has elapsed. The callback function is passed the current
|
|
timer interval and the user supplied parameter from the
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="FUNCTION"
|
|
>SDL_AddTimer</TT
|
|
> call and returns the next timer
|
|
interval. If the returned value from the callback is the same as the one
|
|
passed in, the periodic alarm continues, otherwise a new alarm is
|
|
scheduled.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>To cancel a currently running timer call
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="sdlremovetimer.html"
|
|
>SDL_RemoveTimer</A
|
|
> with the
|
|
timer ID returned from
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="FUNCTION"
|
|
>SDL_AddTimer</TT
|
|
>.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your
|
|
main program, and so shouldn't call any functions from within itself.
|
|
You may always call <A
|
|
HREF="sdlpushevent.html"
|
|
>SDL_PushEvent</A
|
|
>, however.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The granularity of the timer is platform-dependent, but you should count
|
|
on it being at least 10 ms as this is the most common number.
|
|
This means that if
|
|
you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms
|
|
later on an unloaded system. If you wanted to set a flag signaling
|
|
a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a
|
|
timer for 30 ms (see example below).
|
|
|
|
If you use this function, you need to pass <TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
>SDL_INIT_TIMER</TT
|
|
>
|
|
to <A
|
