Version 2.5



This lib is for anyone who needs a timer(such as a racing game).
This timer can start anywhere(non-negative) and count up or down!
This can also get the windows clock so the game can be played in the real time of the player!
You can draw a dark rectangle over the screen according to the time like night and day, now in any view!

Update! Version 2.5 out now!


*Big Updates
set a variable equal to the time in seconds or HH:MM:SS

Additional features:

The functions:
Initialize timer
Run timer
Draw timer
If timer is at position
Set timer position
Stop Timer
Start Timer
Set a variable equal to time
Get Windows Clock
Draw Windows Clock
Draw Light by Clock

File info:
Fully Unregistered!
Version 2.5
Zipped, 13kb

Folder has an example in version 6.1 so it will also work in v7
the example shows how to start, run, draw, and set the timer. It also includes 1 scenario of when to use the "if timer is at position" tile, has stop timer and start timer uses as well. It draws the windows clock as well, and has the draw light by clock as well.Now also has the set variable to time.

Next time you should consider using prefixes for your variables.
For example: tlib_timer (tlib = timerlib)
Of course no one will ever name the variables as you do, but it will be easier for you to code if you pre- or suffix them next time.

Sorry for not testing the lib, but the display driver doesn't work on this so I can't run GM.

@Daniel-Dane:i originally had very easy to understand and well defined names, then i lengthened some, while mixing up the upper/lower case, but thanks for looking anyway!

Edited by beedy, 13 March 2007 - 08:46 PM.

[isaacqwerty]

@Beedy, try re-downloading it

Edit: yes, now i remember, i had a version up but forgot to put the tile sprites in, so I re uploaded after a double check and that was one thing that i changed

[isaacqwerty]

and thx for replying, finally someone!

[muslim power]

very nice

[isaacqwerty]

thanks for the reply!
ok, now i figured out the problem, hockeyflyers, in the code, 4th argument, the "view_yview[argument2-1+view_hview[argument2-1]" should have a brace on the other side or [argument2-1], i havent heard of any others having trouble with this, if you have, please tell me!

EDIT: fixed the bug, so now its all good. i dont get why it didnt flare in gm7... hmm...
