README

ofxTimestamp

Small openFrameworks addon for writing a heartbeat timestamp to disk at a fixed interval.

It is useful when another process needs a simple "is the app still alive?" signal without opening a socket, adding OSC, or building a heavier integration. The addon writes the current ofGetElapsedTimeMillis() value to bin/data/<filename>.txt.

Usage

#include "ofxTimestamp.h"

ofxTimestamp timestamp;

void ofApp::setup(){
    timestamp.setup(1.0f, "timestamp");
}

void ofApp::update(){
    timestamp.update();
}

Compatibility

Tested with openFrameworks 0.12.1 on macOS.

The example includes the standard openFrameworks Makefile flow:

cd example
make Debug
make RunDebug
