What is it you are trying to achieve?
I want to display a timer for my game.
What is the problem you are having?
Once my level finishes the timer that was being displayed keeps counting down, even once I get into the main menu
When I use a variable in which I store an int, I cant use Font.Text to display it, and when I use an string, I can't subtract by 10, So I decided to not use any at all and just display each number (e.g 180..170..160) after a delay.
How can I stop this?
Please Help!!! |

You should add some if structure to stop the timer:
Turing: |
if %level ends
%reset the timer
end if

Use an int, and to use Draw.Text you can convert that int to a string using intstr. Say your int was called counter, you could draw it like:
Theres conversions between most (if not all) variable types, their names are usually [current type][type you want], hence intstr. The only exception I know of is from real to int which is called round instead. |
