How to wait some time in raylib?

[wlxmhls]

Hello,

I am a beginner. Is there time wait function in raylib, like SDL's SDL_Delay function?
Thanks

rcore.c defines:

void WaitTime(double seconds)

Thank you.
But this function is not listed in the official cheatsheet. Maybe it is NOT exposed to users?
Or any documentation list the raylib API functions, like 'void WaitTime(double seconds)'?

emmm. I found WaitTime function in raylib.h...

This is almost certainly NOT what you want to do.
This is equivalent to calling sleep, it will block your whole main loop, and the OS will probably think your program crashed.

raylib is not quite like a game engine, which runs your code. Your code is running raylib.

What you really want here, is a timer.
See how do I make a timer? on the raylib FAQ.

What you should do is start a timer, keep running your main loop, and then react and do something when the timer is elapsed.

OP asked about alternative to SDL_Delay, which is a blocking function.

[royqh1979]

you can use the counter of the mainloop as a timer.

If you SetTargetFPS(60), then each running of mainloop means 1/60 second passed.
