Hello everyone,
I'm trying to add a timer to a game that I'm writing. I've added code to the
EventLoop to call a function that updates the timer at the top of the screen.
But, I'm finding that while the timer is running, if I pull down a menu, the timer
continues to update and consequently writes on top of the menu. So, I added some
code to the EventLoop under "if (MenuHandlerEvent)". This fixed this problem, but
now I'm finding that if the timer is running and I pull down a menu, the timer
stops (because of my previous fix) and when I return to the main form from the
menu, the timer doesn't start back up again....eventhough the "MenuHandlerEvent"
should now be false.
Furthermore, I'm noticing that when the timer first starts, it tends to jump from
'00:00' to '00:01' very quickly (less than a second), afterwhich it increments
correctly in second delays.
Bottomline, I could use some help. Does anyone have some example code of adding
a timer to the screen that they wouldn't mind sharing with me? I would be
greatly appreciative!!
Thanks!!
Robert Purcell
