wait

Drawing

Pause the program for some milliseconds.

How to write it

wait(<milliseconds>)

What it does

wait(1000) pauses for one second. 1000 milliseconds = 1 second.

Waiting between drawings makes animation: draw, wait, clear, draw again.

Example

skrib color "red"
skrib dot 50, 50, 10
wait(500)
skrib clear
skrib color "blue"
skrib dot 100, 50, 10

Tips

The Stop button still works while waiting.
