Time.Elapsed is since the program is run, so how could I do a per turn timer, make it reset every turn back to a certain number in seconds? I tried looking at all the time functions, and they're all pretty useless.. why do we need to know the amount of seconds since 1970? lol |

possibly take a look at Time.Delaysincelast in conjunction with Time.Elapsed will allow a process to take a certain amount of time, instead of simply delay() which could be different on different machines. |

The Universe started on January 1st, 1970. Anyone to says they are over 39 years old is lying about their age. http://xkcd.com/376/ |

k so at the beginning of the turn you record the time in a variable, let's call it t. then the amount of time the turn is taking is Time.Elapsed-t |
