vgames master,
If the hour is equal or greater than 12 then you know it is afternoon;pm. Use a simple if else statement to include either an am or pm sign, next to the time. Also, if the hour is equal to or greater than 13, then subtract 12 from the hour. Combining these two methods will get you a standard looking time.
