A little something about timers - Joost - 09-01-2007

The example.

2 timers. Intervals at 500, and 1000
The one with 500 has this code:

Code:
Call Download(Porn)

The one with 1000 has this code:

Code:
Call Upload(Porn)

Timers use ram and CPU. We don't want that.

So, we fix that.

Inside the timer with the 500 interval, we

Code:
Dim Variable as Boolean

and we set

Code:
Variable = !Variable

Then we just

Code:
Call Download(Porn)

like before.
However, now we add something else to that sub too :

Code:
If Variable = True Then

       Call Upload(Porn)

End If

Now we delete the timer with an interval of 1000, and we're done. We've replaced a timer, and it's sub with just an if statement, a boolean, and the

Code:
Variable = !Variable

part.
Simple, yet effective.
