Hey guys,still wondering what would be the easiest way to program a real stopwatch, which starts with the game, including seconds, minutes, hours not neccessarily needed.
total_secs would be one way, but is it the easiest?!?!
greets

the modulo operator % is your friend.

ok thanx, for the response, I'll check if he is a real friend or not.

here a little tutorial about modulo, if you can't understand the manual description of it

Although I have already experienced the modulo in c++, it's quite good to remind myself of it with this tutorial, it's very nice!
thank you Michael_Schwarz

so did you come up with a solution already?

i would add time_step to a timer variable each frame. convert it from ticks to seconds and then use fraction() for hundredth, % for seconds, integer division for minutes,...

but a solution with total_seconds should work too.
