Simple Timer issue

[darkdemonalex]

Hi everybody,

My name is Alex. I'm sorry if sometimes i don't write very well but i'm italian and I just studied english at school.
I'm at the very beginning in LiveCode and the following question may be a stupid, but i have to study it in another language and it's not very simple to me.

Here's the "issue". When i push the start button, i'd like a timer to start being hidden, the player can't see it. The timer should be in seconds. When the player comes to the final card because he won, i'd like a message to be shown, telling him the time he took to win. Then i don't know how to reset the game when he presses the restart button.

I think that i should understand better the logics of LC at first, but as I said, it takes me a lot of time and work because of my different language.

Anyway LC is amazing.

Thanks for the help!!

darkdemonalex...

I have attached a stack that will show you 'simply' how to calculate the difference in seconds between 'starting' and stopping'...

Hope it helps,

Dixie

Very nice and simple example.

From looking at your code I realized I had actually misused 'the seconds' earlier as I now figured it is from the eon as opposed to wait for 2 secconds. I was wondering why the seconds > 5 was giving me a instant result
