NAME

       al_start_timer - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              void al_start_timer(ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer)

DESCRIPTION

       Start  the  timer  specified.  From then, the timer's counter will increment at a constant
       rate, and it will begin generating events.  Starting a timer that is already started  does
       nothing.   Starting  a  timer that was stopped will reset the timer's counter, effectively
       restarting the timer from the beginning.
