+# orx-timer
+
+`orx-timer` adds simple timer functionality to OPENRNDR's Program
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Add `orx-timer` to the `orxFeatures` set in your build.gradle.kts
+
+## Usage
+
+`orx-timer` facilitates two extension functions for `Program`
+
+`fun Program.repeat(intervalInSeconds: Double, count: Int? = null, initialDelayInSeconds: Double = 0.0, action: () -> Unit)`
+
+`fun Program.timeOut(delayInSeconds: Double, action: () -> Unit)`
+
+A simple example looks like this:
+
+```$kotlin
+fun main() = application {
+    program {
+        repeat(2.0) {
+            println("hello there )
+        }
+        extend {
+
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Note that drawing inside the `repeat` action has no effect. Have a look at the demos listed below for an example of
+`repeat` triggered drawing.
+
+## Demos
+
+ * [Simple `repeat` demonstration](src/demo/kotlin/DemoRepeat01.kt)
+ * [A `repeat` demonstration with drawing](src/demo/kotlin/DemoRepeat02.kt)
+ * [Simple `timeOut` demonstration](src/demo/kotlin/DemoTimeOut01.kt)
