What is it you are trying to achieve? Create a downward counting timer according to what the user has entered. The int needs to be changed into a string aswell for Font.Draw What is the problem you are having? Can't seem to get it to work. If its in the main loop, the program waits for it to count down to zero then starts. If its in a separate process, the program waits for it to get to zero, starts and the timer goes into negative numbers What I have tried to solve this problem
I've also tried the for loop in a process and forked it, but it still doesn't work. Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1 |

Did you just try to throw some random code at the problem, without understanding what it does, in hopes that it might somehow solve the problem? Also, your loop doesn't appear to have any sort of output (any sort of put, draw, etc.) |

So you're saying that the font.draw needs to be in the loop? Makes sense don't know why i didn't f**king think of that. |

also instead of:
to covert it into string, you can just do this in your font.draw:
This saves you a line of coding. |
