I thought about having a metro sending a bang to a k_guile object
to make a timer. Something like this:
(pd-inlet 0 'bang
(lambda ()
(set! time (+ time 1))))
(pd-inlet 0 'reset
(lambda ()
(set! time 0)))
But I agree something like this would be nice too:
(pd-delay 1000
(lambda ()
(pd-display "one second later")))
