Ok. I added the single timer.

I added the following methods to PG_TimerObject

SetTimer(Uint32 interval);
StopTimer();

Uint32 eventTimer(Uint32 interval);

Please note the different event handlers for single and multiple timers:

Uint32 eventTimer(PG_TimerID id, Uint32 interval); << MULTIPLE
Uint32 eventTimer(Uint32 interval); << SINGLE

If you get SDL_AddTimer (multiple timers) working you can easily switch.

Hope this helps
