 Displaying timer countdown while sound.

Hi.

How would you make a timer countdown while stroking to the beat?

I made this little tool:

Code:
def metronome = { speed ->
   def baud = 100
   def timeLeft = timePerSquare
   def counter = 0
   def speedBaud = (int)((1/speed)*baud)
   
   while(timeLeft>0){
      if(counter%baud==0){
         timeLeft--
         show("Time: "+timeLeft)
      }
      if(counter%speedBaud==0){
         playBackgroundSound("tom.wav")
      }
      counter++
      sleep((int)(1000/baud))

   }
}


It basically displays the time left, and the sound is independent from the timer. The problem is that there is a small delay when using the show(), causing it to beat irregularly. If i comment this line out it works perfectly.

Is there a way to minimize the delay, or another way to optain the same effect? In fact, I want there to be a timer countdown, while stroking is sounding while there is a button, which can be pressed before the time runs out.

If you want a better timer, you have to use the system time :
  • at the beginning of the loop, get a timestamp (for example with System.currentTimeMillis() )
  • at the end of the loop, before sleeping, get a another timestamp and calculate exactly how much you have to wait

Will that help with the irregular delay caused by the show() function?
The problem doesnt seem to be with the way i calculate the delay, but when text i shown

The main goal is to know how much time elapsed already in the loop (show or not for example), to wait less if needed. Sus a regular total time for each loop.
