Execute a function each 1 seconds (or more)

[xefhs]

Hi,
I try to find the best way (in other words, optimized to save CPU) to execute a function each defined time.

Code: Select all

increaseCount(2) --Increase the count every 2 secs

See cron.lua

Or, if you don't need something quite that robust:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	timePassed = 0
	timeLimit = 2
end
function love.update(dt)
	timePassed = timePassed + dt
	if timePassed > timeLimit then
		timePassed = timePassed - timeLimit
		doFunction()
	end
end

cron is very useful, and thanks for the explanations !
