orx-timer

Simple timer functionality providing repeat, to run code with a given interval and timeOut, to run code once after a given delay.

Prerequisites

Add orx-timer to the orxFeatures set in your build.gradle.kts

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:

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.

This demonstrates how to combine repeat {} with a postponed event to trigger drawing
