time counter/clock

-----------------------------------

Is the a time counter or a clock that can be opened in a pop up window when a game start? like it counts how long did it took you to finish a game.

Im trying to create this high score table ranking by how fast you finish.

well, all you have to do is, once the game is done is assign a variable to how long the program's been run using this, which is a real value.


Time.Elapsed 

Now there's probabily an intro screen, so the entire time of the program wouldn't be accurate so, do this


declare variables 
 . .
- Game is about to start
startTime = Time.Elapsed

- Game goes on
- Game ends

endTime = Time.Elapsed - startTime

Sorry, it's actually an integer value - i was thing the whole /1000 - which is real but gives you seconds since Time.Elapsed is in milliseconds. 

So just divide your answer by 1000 to get seconds.
