Timer aims to be a simple to use library to manage events that occur based on timings and events.
Load in using a require statement, then create a new timer calling timer.new.
- timer.new( func )
Create a new timer object. func contains the instructions for the timer. Special functions are exposed only within the scope of func:
- signal( str )
Signals an event, where str is the event, as specified by a waitSignal function. Like calling a function which activates the block of code following the signal.
- wait( time )
Wait time time units, where time units are whatever time your chosen framework uses. After time time units has passed, the next block of code will be executed.
- waitSignal( str )
Suspend execution of the thread until the corresponding signal is called.
