Countdown Clock Timer

Hi

I've been using LiveCode as my programming language, I love it and it's great. However I am stuck on how to create a simple countdown clock with a minute and second display. I have successfully made a countdown, but only using second with no unit.

It would be awesome if someone could help me on programming the countdown clock with minutes and seconds display

Thanks

See the (soon to be updated) scripting conference stack about Dates and Time here:

http://www.hyperactivesw.com/revscriptc ... ences.html

keep in mind that when the stack is referring to "Revolution" or "transcript" it means "LiveCode". other than that it's a good starting point for understanding dates, time, and timers.

Hope this was helpful!

There was a great thread on this:

it digs into accurate timers.

Hi FayJly,

I made a little countDown timer as a way to do it.

The main scripts are in the card script.
You would have to be familiar with "send in time" to understand the script. "Send in time" triggers a message in the specified time intervall.

Kind regards
Bernd
