TIMERS FOR GAMES!!!

[nate]

I am making this Sniper game and I want to have a timer so that if you do not kill the person in a certain amount of time you will lose or something but I was wondering if anyone could give my the code for a TIMER

Also If anyone can give me good Ideas that would impress my teacher that would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

MOD EDIT: Moved to turing help

code:

Time.Elapsed

you can check usage in the Turing help file.

there are a few difrent ways you could do this.

the simpisted being, puting a couter in a loop.

but if you whont to use real time then i whod use the time comands

ex.

code:

var oldtime:int := Time.Sec loop locatexy(maxx div 2, maxy div 2) put Time.Sec - oldtime end loop

[haujobb]

you would have to put it in a process:

var time : int := 30

process countDown ()
delay(1000)
time := time - 1
end countDown

then:

fork countDown ()

you might have to include time as an argument, im to lazy to remember....

If you wanted to include the timer as an arguement, use this:

code:

process timer (seconds : int)     delay (seconds * 1000)     cls     put "Bye" end timer fork timer(2) put "Hi"

That just displays hi, and after 2 seconds, displays bye.
