Package tripleplay.util

Class Timer

java.lang.Object

react.Slot<Platform>

tripleplay.util.Timer

All Implemented Interfaces:

react.Reactor.RListener, react.SignalView.Listener<Platform>, react.ValueView.Listener<Platform>

public class Timer
extends react.Slot<Platform>

Handles execution of actions after a specified delay. Create a Timer and connect it to the Platform.frame signal:

 public class MyGame extends SceneGame {
   public final Timer timer = new Timer();
   public MyGame (Platform plat) {
     plat.frame.connect(timer);
   }
 }
 

Then you can register actions to be performed at times in the future like so:

   // wherever
   game.timer.after(500, () -> {
      // this is run after 500ms
   });
