37    @brief Declaration of the Timer class, used to call functions after a given time-interval.
38
39    @anchor TimerExample
40
41    Timer is a helper class that executes a function after a given amount of time.
42
43    Usage: <br>
44    header.h:
45    @code
46    class MyClass
47    {
48        public:
49            MyClass();
50            void functionName();
51
52        private:
53            Timer myTimer;
54    };
55    @endcode
56
57    source.cc:
58    @code
59    #include "core/command/Executor.h"
60
61    MyClass::MyClass()
62    {
63        myTimer.setTimer(3, false, createExecutor(createFunctor(&ClassName::myFunction, this)));
64    }
65
66    void MyClass::myFunction()
67    {
68        orxout() << "Hello World" << endl;
69    }
70    @endcode
71
72    The code in this example prints "Hello World" to the console, 3 seconds after creating
73    an instance of MyClass.
