NAME

       al_create_timer - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              ALLEGRO_TIMER *al_create_timer(double speed_secs)

DESCRIPTION

       Allocates  and  initializes  a  timer.   If successful, a pointer to a new timer object is
       returned, otherwise NULL is returned.  speed_secs is in seconds per “tick”,  and  must  be
       positive.    The   new   timer   is  initially  stopped  and  needs  to  be  started  with
       al_start_timer(3alleg5) before ALLEGRO_EVENT_TIMER(3alleg5) events are sent.

       Usage note: typical granularity is on the order of microseconds,  but  with  some  drivers
       might only be milliseconds.
