Next, I need to be able to keep track of real-time during the game. In Windows, we'd use something like GetTickCount to accomplish this. Is there an equivalent on the Mac side? Again, pointing me in the right direction would be tremendously appreciated.
mach_absolute_time() will give you high precision timing. There's a technote on this subject here: <http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1398.html >
Alternately, you can retrieve the absolute time using UpTime() (found in <CarbonCore/DriverServices.h>, which you'd likely need to import anyway for the conversion routines AbsoluteToNanoseconds() and AbsoluteToDuration().
(I do not know what the difference is, if any, between using mach_absolute_time() and UpTime().)
