On my GitHub, I’ve updated my tutorial, inPulse Magic 8-Ball: A Beginner’s Tutorial for Programming inPulse Smartwatch Apps to include new sections covering the following:
- Timers and
pulse_register_timer - Using multiple timers
- Cancelling timers and
pulse_cancel_timer - The “Magic 8-Ball” app, written using timers instead of the main app loop
In case you were wondering, the inPulse smartwatch is the predecessor to the new hotness and Kickstarter darling, the Pebble smartwatch.
As I said in my earlier posting on the tutorial, if you’ve done at least a little programming and aren’t afraid to do a little coding in C, I think you’ll find this a fun exercise. If you’re new to C or just a little rusty, you should check out Stanford’s Essential C page.
