Timer?? and a Click???

Hello,

I was thinking about making a metronome for myself to use on my desktop when I'm playing guitar........

But I'm kinda lost on the whole timer thing and than on how to incorporate a click sound (or block of wood) ....I haven't programmed in about 3 months and to be honest I feel like a totally noob!! Can someone steer me in the proper direction....

For timing, check the FAQ.

For sound, use your platform's API, or some cross-platform API. You could use Windows's PlaySound(), for example.

Google is nothing short of useful.
