Using DBPro I want to create a timer that starts randomly, displays on screen and counts up in seconds from 0 to 59, using the timer() command how do you synchronise the timer with the clock display on screen so when the timer 1000 then the clock display is 01.

Please help

Sorry, Waggames (alias the nerd), but your code freezes the program and doesn't use Timer as requested.

Here is what I suggest :


If you want it to change every 2 seconds change
TIMER() > StartTimer + 1000
into
TIMER() > StartTimer + 2000
If you want it to be every half seconds, change it into
TIMER() > StartTimer + 500

- Mind the gap -

I'm gonna throw some more code into the hat.


there would be your basic timing device. I'm rusty with darkbasic, so you'll have to translate it if it's bad.

if it times in millaseconds or what ever, just multiply time# by 1000
er somethin'

DO SOME TIHNKING

Go nuts!! whooopdeee doo!!
