how to delay counting speed?

[ChenWei]

Hi, Im making a game for some reason, and I dont know how to slow down my program's counting speed
I tried to use "delay", but it delayed entire program's speed
i want to make it count from 60 to 1(about 1 second for 1), so what can I do to it?

code:

var counter: int := 0 loop     counter += 1     put counter     Time.Delay(1000)  %%Time FCN uses MILISECONDS, 1000 = 1 second.     exit when counter = 60 end loop put "HAS THIS BEEN CLOSE TO 1 MIN?"

You really need to fill out the form:

What have you tried, what did it do, what did you want it to do, and what code did you use?

Three things you need to know:

1) [A number of milliseconds] div 1000 is a number of seconds.

2) Time.Elapsed returns the number of milliseconds since your program started running.

3) If, somewhere in your program, you have

code:

var startTime : int := Time.Elapsed

then Time.Elapsed - startTime is the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since you set startTime.


This information and a bit of easy math is all you need, no delay necessary.

lol do i win for creativity?

code:

var sec: int := 0 loop     if round(Time.Elapsed / 1000) > sec then         sec += 1         put sec     end if     exit when sec = 60 end loop put "Thats a MIN!"
