[Jprogramming] jQT timer

[Jon Hough]

You are, of course, correct. But how do I use that in the context of the qT Timer Demo?

e.g.

timer=: 3 : 0



if. y do.



  sys_timer_z_=: 3 : 'smoutput ''systimer: '',":6!:0$0'



  wd 'timer ',":y



else.



  wd 'timer 0'



  sys_timer_z_=: ]



end.


Furthermore, I am unsure how to call an arbitrary function every update cycle (e.g. define myFunc, and call it every two seconds, or whatever the timer is set to). For the time being the "arbitrary" function is just to calculate "time since timer start".
