Overview

Handle returned by #tick. Cancel a running ticker via #cancel.

Internally wraps a ‘Concurrent::TimerTask` whose firing posts a single submit-block to the owning Tuile::EventQueue; the user’s block therefore always runs on the event-loop thread and may freely mutate UI. If the user block raises, the Ticker auto-cancels and the exception is re-raised so it flows through the loop’s normal error handling (Screen#on_error for the default Tuile setup).

#initialize(event_queue, fps, block) ⇒ Ticker

Returns a new instance of Ticker.

Parameters:

  • event_queue (EventQueue) —

  • block (Proc) —

    called as ‘block.call(tick_count)` on each fire.

  # thread (caller code, the event-loop thread from inside the block,

  # one-shot guard against double-shutdown and well-defined visibility
  # on non-MRI Rubies.

Instance Method Details

#cancel ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Stops the ticker. Idempotent and safe to call from any thread, including from inside the tick block. Any tick already queued on the event loop at the moment of cancellation is dropped before the user block runs.

  return unless @cancelled.make_true # CAS: only the winner shuts down

  @timer.shutdown
end

#cancelled? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true once #cancel has been called.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true once #cancel has been called.
