gear/timer.lua

--- Timer utilities.
--
-- This is a reworked implementation of the original timer module
-- from the hump library (https://github.com/vrld/hump).
-- See README.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for detailed information.
--
-- It offers functionality to schedule tasks for delayed or periodic
-- execution, as well as tweening.
