I assume we're talking about the mac.
>From the sdl docs about SDL_SetTimer:
"This function is kept for compatibility but has been superseded by the
new timer functions SDL_AddTimer and SDL_RemoveTimer which support
multiple timers."
That means there is only 1 timer possible (if SDL_SetTimer is working on
the Mac). Better than nothing i guess.
Why should you use SDL_Delay ?
That would turn the timer completely useless. From my understanding the
timer will call periodically a callbackfunction while the main
application loop keeps running.
