keeping track of time for a turn based game?

[threatbinder]

Time.Elapsed is since the program is run, so how could I do a per turn timer, make it reset every turn back to a certain number in seconds? I tried looking at all the time functions, and they're all pretty useless.. why do we need to know the amount of seconds since 1970? lol

possibly take a look at Time.Delaysincelast in conjunction with Time.Elapsed will allow a process to take a certain amount of time, instead of simply delay() which could be different on different machines.

The Universe started on January 1st, 1970. Anyone to says they are over 39 years old is lying about their age.

k so at the beginning of the turn you record the time in a variable, let's call it t. then the amount of time the turn is taking is Time.Elapsed-t
