    //  A looped event is like a repeat event but with no limit, it will literally repeat itself forever, or until

    //  The first parameter is how long to wait before the event fires. In this case 1 second (you could pass in 1000 as the value as well.)
    //  The next two parameters are the function to call ('updateCounter') and the context under which that will happen.
