Usage Example

// Create a TimeManager instance
var timerMgr = new TimeManager();

// Schedule a one-shot timer by name
timerMgr.Add("spawn_enemy", 5.0f, false, () => SpawnEnemy());

// Schedule a repeating timer using an enum identifier
enum TimerType { PowerUp, SaveGame }
timerMgr.Add(TimerType.PowerUp, 10.0f, true, () => GrantPowerUp());

// Check and stop a timer
if (timerMgr.Exists("spawn_enemy"))
    timerMgr.Stop("spawn_enemy");

// Clear all timers
timerMgr.Clear();
