 LaunchedEffect(state.showCards) {
        Log.d("gameScreen", "launcheffect: state.showCards")
        if(state.showCards){
            repeat(5){
                Log.d("gameScreen", "count: ${it+1}")
                delay(1000)
            }
            viewModel.hideCards()
        }

    }

This above code is for the case if you want to do something on some event(on button click) and after 5 second trigger a function to do something else with a count down

It depends when you want this behaviour to start and end.

This will run as long as your composable remains in the composition:

LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    while(true) {
        vm.someMethod()
        delay(5000)
    }
}
