fixed-timestep: Pure Haskell library to repeat an action at a specific frequency.

[ library, mit, time ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

Repeat IO actions at a specific frequency, using flicks (1/705600000 of a second) for timekeeping. Also contains a simple implementation of flicks.

Readme for fixed-timestep-0.2.0.1

[back to package description]

fixed-timestep

Pure Haskell library to run an action repeatedly, a specific amount of times per second.

Internal timekeeping is done in flicks, a unit of time equal to precisely 1/705600000 of a second.

Basic usage:

λ> import Data.Time.Clock
λ> import Time.Repeatedly
λ> repeatedly 1 (print =<< getCurrentTime)

^CInterrupted.

Using async, you can repeat multiple actions independently, and also cancel them:

λ> import Data.Time.Clock
λ> import Control.Concurrent.Asyncx
λ> import Time.Repeatedly
λ> printer <- asyncRepeatedly 1 (print =<< getCurrentTime)
