Timers

[Kaze]

Usage:
Include timer.lua

Code: Select all

timer.new( delay, extra repitions(-1 will never stop), callback, ... arguments )

This returns a timer object, of which these functions are applicable:

Code: Select all

timer:update( dt )
timer:setCallback( callback, ... arguments )
timer:stop( )
timer:start( )
timer:reset( boolShouldResetReps )
timer:setDelay( delay, reps )

Simple timers
Add this to update:

Code: Select all

timer.update( dt )

timer.newSimple:

Code: Select all

timer.newSimple( delay, callback, ... arguments )

I just looked at it, but it would be even nicer if you could just update individual timers. (or at least have the possibility to do so) Example:

Code: Select all

mytimer = timer.new(5, print, "5 seconds passed")
mytimer:update(dt)
--or double speed
mytimer:update(dt*2)

The thread is titled "Simple timers" for a reason.
Might do an advanced version later.

Isn't that hard, is it?
Talking about usage I think it makes things easier.

I already made this as part of the short-lived kudoLib, sigh, but good job anyway.
