UnderwareDESIGN

Just thought I would throw this little demo in for any gamers who want to use a timer in thier games

   savetimemin=savetimesec/60
   savetimehr=savetimemin/60
;SetCursor 0,2
;Print (Timer()-startime)/1000
;Sync
Until EnterKey()=True

time$=Digits$(savetimehr,2)+":"+Digits$(savetimemin,2)+":"+Digits$(savetimesec,2)
Print "Duration of time: "+time$
WaitNoKey
Sync
WaitKey
End

EDIT: Changed code boxes to PBcode boxes

 Here's a few functions that convert a timer ticks (milliseconds) into Hours,Minutes,Seconds

[pbcode]

   StartTime=Timer()
   
   Do
      Cls 0

      Ticks=timer()-StartTime

      Text 100,100,"Hours/Min/Seconds:"+ConvertTimeToHMS(ticks,0)
      Text 100,120,"Seconds/Min/Hours:"+ConvertTimeToHMS(ticks,1)


      Text 100,200,"Min/Seconds:"+ConvertTimeToMS(ticks,0)
      Text 100,220,"Seconds/Min:"+ConvertTimeToMS(ticks,1)


      Sync
   loop







` *=---------------------------------------------------------------------=*
`                  >> Convert Time(millisecondes) to Hours/Mins/Seconds <<
` *=---------------------------------------------------------------------=*
`
`  This function will convert a milli seconds timer value into digital
` time format.  This version supports Hours/Minutes and Seconds.
`
`
` *=---------------------------------------------------------------------=*


Function ConvertTimeToHMS(ticks,format)

    Seconds=ticks/1000
    Minutes=mod((Seconds/60),60)
    Hours=mod((seconds/3600),24)

    Seconds=mod(seconds,60)

    h$=Digits$(hours,2)
    m$=Digits$(minutes,2)
    s$=Digits$(seconds,2)
   
   if format=0
       result$=h$+":"+m$+":"+s$
   else
       result$=s$+":"+m$+":"+h$
   endif      

EndFunction result$


` *=---------------------------------------------------------------------=*
`                     >> Convert Timer to Mins/Seconds <<
` *=---------------------------------------------------------------------=*

   if format=0
       result$=m$+":"+s$

Very Handy Functions :)
