Programmed CountDown Timer ???

[montesser]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Looking to make a timer (Boxed or un boxed), to be able to have it seem like a system launch of a space ship,


What is the problem you are having?
Im new to turing and am still learning, So far i have tried the decreasing count code, just wondering if there is a way to make an program box for just the countdown and to make it change 1 number at a time not just show them all in a straight or vertical line


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Ive only tried different modes with the decreasing count. Please help if you are able to.

Turing:

for decreasing count : 5 .. 1     put count : 5

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Turing 4.0.4c

you could draw a box around it, try using Draw.FillThickBox (x,y,x+size,y+size,color), and also try adding in a delay (150) or so, right after the put. should be what your looking for.

Thank you kindly, it wasn't quite what i was trying for, but it works great, Thank you again

did you mean more like this?

code:

for decreasing count : 5 .. 1     put count : 5     delay (500) end for

or something more like:

code:

for decreasing count : 5 .. 1     put "T MINUS: ", count     delay (500)     cls end for put "BLAST OFF!"

of maybe something more user interactive? we could put this as a function well let me know!! thx for bits

if you look up my count down timer, it counts down from a date, if you want you could have a user enter that date and time.
