NAME

extimer - Using the timer (delays and interrupts). Allegro game programming library.  

SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro.h>

Example extimer  

DESCRIPTION

This program demonstrates how to use the timer routines. These can be a bit of a pain, because you have to be sure you lock all the memory that is used inside your interrupt handlers. The first part of the example shows a basic use of timing using the blocking function rest(). The second part shows how to use three timers with different frequencies in a non blocking way.
