I want to put a timer in my game, and have it start when a player pushes start game or something
the object of the game is to stay alive the longest, and i dont want to use a points system.

thanks, DJ

you could use clock() or wallclock()

clock() says how much time has passed since beginning of the program in milliseconds.

wallclock() is your system time, says how much seconds passed since Jan 1st, 1970.

yah. use clock, and when u die put the current time to a textfile
then just merely check if it's greater for a high score

code:
process timer
    var timer2 : int
    timer2 := 0
    clock (timer2)
    locate (1, 1)
    put timer2 / 1000 : 0 : 2, " seconds"
end timer


this is what i used and it worked!

you'll prolly need a delay after the put statement
and u dun need 2 initialize the variable (even a little helps)

....... since i'm dense to sarcasm, i'll assume those were compliments
