well, the fastest way (that i know of) is to use the timer() command. just save timer() to a variable once, and compare it to timer() every loop, i.e. if you stored timer() in a variable called time, then do timer()-time to figure out how many milliseconds it has been since you started the timer. to change it to seconds just to some simple division and change to an integer.

oh, wow. insignificantpunks.cjb.net. we like orange treble clef notes, just for future reference.

no: website for progs yet.
