TOC
SDL provides several cross-platform functions for dealing with
time.
It provides a way to get the current time
and a way to wait a little while.

==Methods
%%%
NAME get_ticks
TYPE .
PURPOSE Get the number of milliseconds since the SDL library initialization
RVAL UINT

PROTO
get_ticks
getTicks

DESC
Get the number of milliseconds since @[init] is called
Note that this value wraps if the program runs
for more than ~49 days.

SEEALSO
delay

%%
NAME delay
TYPE .
PURPOSE Wait a specified number of milliseconds before returning

PROTO
delay(ms)

DESC
Wait a specified number of milliseconds before returning.
This method will wait ((*at least*)) the specified time, 
but possible longer due to OS scheduling.

NOTES
Count on a delay granularity of ((*at least*)) 10 ms. Some
platforms have shorter clock ticks but this is the most
common.

Ruby's threads cannot preempt while waiting with this method.
You should use Kernel#sleep instead.
