Detailed Description

Declaration of the Timer class, used to call functions after a given time-interval.

Timer is a helper class that executes a function after a given amount of time.

Usage:
header.h:

class MyClass
{
    public:
        MyClass();
        void functionName();

    private:
        Timer myTimer;
};

source.cc:

#include "core/command/Executor.h"

MyClass::MyClass()
{
    myTimer.setTimer(3, false, createExecutor(createFunctor(&ClassName::myFunction, this)));
}

void MyClass::myFunction()
{
    orxout() << "Hello World" << endl;
}

The code in this example prints "Hello World" to the console, 3 seconds after creating an instance of MyClass.
