delay

So, on my arcade, howlingdoggames.com. I have a points system that gives you a point every time you visit a page with a game on, now, to reduce abuse of this, I would like to make some sort of delay, so its only awarded after 45 seconds. Here's what i've tried. ... if ($_SESSION['lastgame'] != $gameid);{ sleep(45); $points = $points + $game_points; $_SESSION['lastgame'] = $gameid; } ... But, this just seems to halt my whole website for 45 seconds, because this is in the index.php file, as with alot of the other code to my site. Is there anyway I can isolate that bit of code, so it only makes

This question already has an answer here: High-precision clock in Python 13 answers I finally figured this out and would like to share the knowledge and save someone a bunch of time, so see my answer below. However, I still need answers for Linux, so please answer if you know, as my code in my answer is for Windows only. UPDATE: I've figured it out for Linux too, including for pre-Python 3.3 (ex: for the Raspberry Pi), and I've posted my new module/code in my answer below. My original question: How do I get millisecond and microsecond-resolution timestamps in Python? I'd also like the Arduino

Is there an easy way to slow down the iteration in a forEach (with plain javascript)? For example: var items = document.querySelector('.item'); items.forEach(function(el) { // do stuff with el and pause before the next el; }); What you want to achieve is totally possible with Array#forEach — although in a different way you might think of it. You can not do a thing like this: var array = ['some', 'array', 'containing', 'words']; array.forEach(function (el) { console.log(el); wait(1000); // wait 1000 milliseconds }); console.log('Loop finished.'); ... and get the output: some array // one second

I don't know exactly how to word a search for this.. so I haven't had any luck finding anything.. :S I need to implement a time delay in C. for example I want to do some stuff, then wait say 1 minute, then continue on doing stuff. Did that make sense? Can anyone help me out? In standard C (C99), you can use time() to do this, something like: #include <time.h> : void waitFor (unsigned int secs) { unsigned int retTime = time(0) + secs; // Get finishing time. while (time(0) < retTime); // Loop until it arrives. } By the way, this assumes time() returns a 1-second resolution value. I don't think

I made a blackjack game, and I want the AI player to pause between taking cards. I tried simply using Thread.sleep(x), but that makes it freeze until the AI player is done taking all of his cards. I know that Swing is not thread safe, so I looked at Timers, but I could not understand how I could use one for this. Here is my current code: while (JB.total < 21) { try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { System.out.println("Oh noes!"); } switch (getJBTable(JB.total, JB.aces > 0)) { case 0: JB.hit(); break; case 1: break done; case 2: JB.hit(); JB.bet *= 2; break done; } } BTW

I'm struggling to implement something I assumed would be fairly simple in Rx. I have a list of items, and I want to have each item emitted with a delay. It seems the Rx delay() operator just shifts the emission of all items by the specified delay, not each individual item. Here's some testing code. It groups items in a list. Each group should then have a delay applied before being emitted. Observable.range(1, 5) .groupBy(n -> n % 5) .flatMap(g -> g.toList()) .delay(50, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) .doOnNext(item -> { System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - timeNow); System.out.println(item);

I have a performance issue that I can't seem to address. I have an instant search but it's somewhat laggy, since it starts searching on each keyup() . JS: var App = angular.module('App', []); App.controller('DisplayController', function($scope, $http) { $http.get('data.json').then(function(result){ $scope.entries = result.data; }); }); HTML: <input id="searchText" type="search" placeholder="live search..." ng-model="searchText" /> <div class="entry" ng-repeat="entry in entries | filter:searchText"> <span>{{entry.content}}</span> </div> The JSON data isn't even that large, 300KB only, I think
