New tagged timer library

Other
#1

I needed a way to tag timers in the same way that it’s possible for transitions, so I wrote a simple wrapper in Lua for the original timer library that accomplishes this.

It’s a drop-in replacement for the Corona timer.* API.

Supports all functions of the original timer API with the added ability to:

• Add a tag name to timers

• Cancel / Pause / Resume timers by tag name

• Cancel / Pause / Resume all active timers

Note: This library uses the original timer.* API in its core. The library just adds a wrapper around it.

Neat library! Thanks for making it MIT licensed.

I’ve been using it for a while myself and it’s been working very well.

I had to tie up some loose ends before publishing it to github though, as there was some original functionality that wasn’t implemented.

Now everything should work the same way as the original timer API, plus my extra added stuff…

Enjoy  :wink:
