NAME

       extimer - Using the timer (delays and interrupts). Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       Example extimer

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  demonstrates  how to use the timer routines.  These can be a bit of a pain,
       because you have to be sure you lock all the memory that is  used  inside  your  interrupt
       handlers.   The  first  part of the example shows a basic use of timing using the blocking
       function rest(). The second part shows how to use three timers with different  frequencies
       in a non blocking way.
