I was testing Timer of famo.us here
http://famo.us/docs/0.2.0/utilities/Timer
I am confused about the after(). Look like it's an internal engine tick of famo.us but how does it translate to second? Because 5000 was about 9 seconds. It doesn't line up with setTimeout at all.
Any help?
The function of after and setTimeout are similiar, however setTimeout is time based (milliseconds) where after counts famo.us engine "ticks"
If you're wanting something to happen after a certain amount of time use setTimeout()
If you're wanting to do something that can be done after a few frames (say for example, we want to poll a phone's accelerometer value or something, but not constantly) use after()
An engine cycle can take more than a millisecond, several really, it depends on the complexity of your scene and the performance of the browser/device, so you shouldn't use after() as a measurement of time.
Hope that clears things.
