>Description</H2
><P
>Adds a callback function to be run after the specified number of
milliseconds has elapsed. The callback function is passed the current
timer interval and the user supplied parameter from the
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_AddTimer</TT
> call and returns the next timer
interval. If the returned value from the callback is the same as the one
passed in, the periodic alarm continues, otherwise a new alarm is
scheduled.</P
><P
>To cancel a currently running timer call
<A
HREF="sdlremovetimer.html"
>SDL_RemoveTimer</A
> with the
timer ID returned from
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_AddTimer</TT
>.</P
><P
>The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your
main program, and so shouldn't call any functions from within itself.</P
><P
>The maximum resolution of this timer is 10 ms, which means that if
you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms
later on an unloaded system. If you wanted to set a flag signaling
a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a
timer for 30 ms (see example below).
If you use this function, you need to pass <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_INIT_TIMER</TT
>
to <A
HREF="sdlinit.html"
>SDL_Init</A
>.</P
