18 Adds a callback function to be run after the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed\&. The callback function is passed the current timer interval and the user supplied parameter from the \fBSDL_AddTimer\fP call and returns the next timer interval\&. If the returned value from the callback is the same as the one passed in, the periodic alarm continues, otherwise a new alarm is scheduled\&.

22 The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your main program, and so shouldn\&'t call any functions from within itself\&. You may always call \fISDL_PushEvent\fR, however\&.

24 The granularity of the timer is platform-dependent, but you should count on it being at least 10 ms as this is the most common number\&. This means that if you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms later on an unloaded system\&. If you wanted to set a flag signaling a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a timer for 30 ms (see example below)\&. If you use this function, you need to pass \fBSDL_INIT_TIMER\fP to \fISDL_Init\fR\&.
