Hmm,...
This piece of code wasn't written by myself,...

I'm just thinking about a clean implementation of timers.
What about introducing something like PG_TimerObject ?

Here a quick draft:

class PG_TimerObject : protected map<int, PG_TimerObject*> {

public:
        PG_TimerObject() {
                initialize SDL_Time on first instance
        }

        virtual ~PG_TimerObject();

        virtual eventTimer(int id);

        int AddTimer(int delay);

        int RemoveTimer(int id);

private:

        static int callbackTimer(int id) {
                *this[id]->eventTimer(id);
        }

}

Should be no problem to implement and would solve all timer problems :))

Ideas ?
