time counter/clock

[starcraft]

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.

code:

Time.Elapsed

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

pseudo:

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.
