@brief Declaration of the Timer class, used to call functions after a given time-interval.
@anchor TimerExample
Timer is a helper class that executes a function after a given amount of time.
Usage:
header.h:
@code
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass();
void functionName();
private:
Timer myTimer;
};
@endcode
source.cc:
@code
#include "core/command/Executor.h"
MyClass::MyClass()
{
myTimer.setTimer(3, false, createExecutor(createFunctor(&ClassName::myFunction, this)));
}
void MyClass::myFunction()
{
orxout() << "Hello World" << endl;
}
@endcode
The code in this example prints "Hello World" to the console, 3 seconds after creating
an instance of MyClass.

@brief Timer is a helper class that executes a function after a given amount of seconds in game-time.
@see See @ref TimerExample "Timer.h" for an example.
The time interval of Timer depends on the game time, hence it stops if the game is paused or runs
slower/faster if the game-speed is modified. See RealTimer for a timer class which doesn't depend
on the game time.
