Hi,
How should I go about doing countdown timer?
I can get a count up timer working using GETTIMERALL() but am scratching my head for a workable countdown with
hh:mm:ss format
Thks

Also is there a Bug in GetTimer() for GLB v11?
I notice that SHOWSCREEN is not resetting the time - seems to take the time from the very first SHOWSCREEN not the most recent. My clock is losing 2-3 secs at the start due to a SLEEP of 3 secs before starting my count.

Off the top of my head...
a=gettimerall()+((h*60*60)+(m*60)+s)*1000
while 1
if gettimerall()>a then foo()
wend
GETTIMERALL() wont reset each SHOWSCREEN. GETTIMER() should
I have a counter working but say I want to pause it - how should I track the elasped time to make the counter continue from when paused?
01h 20m 30secs (its paused here)
However gettimerall is still counting away (which above is based on) but I want it to stay at 01h 20m 30secs
I have tried to use another value which is set to gettimerall on pausing but it doesnt work for me - my logic is wrong somewhere...
I have something like this for pausing where adder1 and adder2 are supposed to take a snap of the time difference
(i am nearly there but something is throwing out my timings)
IF KEY(57)
SLEEP 100
newset = ply1
IF ply1 = 1 THEN adder1 = adder1 + (GETTIMERALL() - lastpress ) - 100
IF ply1 = 2 THEN adder2 = adder2 + (GETTIMERALL() - lastpress ) - 100
IF newset = 2 THEN ply1 = 1
IF newset = 1 THEN ply1 = 2
// get time at last press of button
lastpress = GETTIMERALL()
ENDIF
I've sorted this using a simpler method. :booze:
