[susan_101]

umm how would i create a timer that stops my program after like a minute or something liek that heelp

code:

loop   exit when Time.Elapsed > (1000 * 60) %1000 milliseconds per second.  60 seconds per minute. end loop

hmm but this part of the program doesnt happen until later so wouldn't time.elpased not be accurate..i mean what if the user gets to this part around 30 seconds and the timer woul dbe 30 seconds ahead already :/

code:

randint (random3, 1, 3) var answer : int var random : int var random2 : int var reply : string loop         locate (1, 1)         randint (random, 1, 12)     randint (random2, 1, 12)     put random, "*", random2     loop         locate (3, 1)         get answer         if answer not= random * random2 then             put "Wrong, deducting money"             locate (3, 1)             put "       "             locate (5, 1)             put "         "         else             locate (3, 1)             put "        "             locate (4, 1)             put "                "             put "Caught it"             exit         end if     end loop       end loop

basically its a math game and theh user only has a certain amount of time to do it until time runs out

Oooo then u'd need a clock to do it... type clock, then press F9 in the turing editor.. if u still have trouble, post your new code and then we'll help you through it
