+><P
+>Set a callback to run after the specified number of milliseconds has
+elapsed. The callback function is passed the current timer interval
+and returns the next timer interval. If the returned value is the
+same as the one passed in, the periodic alarm continues, otherwise a
+new alarm is scheduled.</P
+><P
+>To cancel a currently running timer, call
+<TT
+CLASS="FUNCTION"
+>SDL_SetTimer(0, NULL);</TT
+></P
+><P
+>The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your
+main constant, and so shouldn't call any functions from within itself.</P
+><P
+>The maximum resolution of this timer is 10 ms, which means that if
+you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms
+later on an unloaded system. If you wanted to set a flag signaling
+a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a
+timer for 30 ms (see example below).</P
+><P
+>If you use this function, you need to pass <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>SDL_INIT_TIMER</TT
+>
+to <TT
+CLASS="FUNCTION"
+>SDL_Init()</TT
+>.</P
