How do you implement a timer a LiveCode? -

-

i'm making pairs game. users can click , match pairs working great. however, i'd add timer. i'm not sure how this.

i have button "start" used start , reset game. i've added field "counter" i'll use display time. i'm not sure how make timer work without blocking game play.

considering game expect you're wanting display seconds , end game after period of time.

livecode has great syntax this. 'send' command lets send messages in designated amount of time. example:

send "handlername" target in 1 second

so applying principle allows create timers in couple of lines of script

local sseconds on countseconds    add 1 sseconds    send "timerincrease" me in 1 second end countseconds

this example count forever might not useful!

you described simple game imagine want count down 60 seconds 0. when hit 0, tell user time up.t in button try following script

local sgameseconds local stimerrunning  on mouseup    if label of me "start"       set label of me "reset"       put true stimerrunning       put 60 sgameseconds       send "timerrun" me in 1 second    else       set label of me "start"       put false stimerrunning       put 60 field "counter"    end if end mouseup  on timerrun    if stimerrunning true       subtract 1 sgameseconds        if sgameseconds < 1          put 0 field "counter"          put false stimerrunning          set label of button "start" "start"          timerfinished       else          put sgameseconds field "counter"          send "timerrun" me in 1 second       end if    end if end timerrun  on timerfinished    answer "time up!" end timerfinished
