164 This means that if |
| 0 | 165 you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms |
| 166 later on an unloaded system. If you wanted to set a flag signaling | |
| 167 a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a | |
| 168 timer for 30 ms (see example below). | |
| 169 | |
| 170 If you use this function, you need to pass <TT | |
| 171 CLASS="LITERAL" | |
| 172 >SDL_INIT_TIMER</TT | |
