Timer

[GrosseVogel]

I Posted a article about 6 months ago and that didn't seem to help me much. This time I am posting my code. I am looking for a timer to be counting down while you are playing the game. If someone could help that would be great.

Thanks,

And where do you create the timer?

You create it when you think you want your timer to start, probably when the game starts in your case. You get WM_TIMER messages (or a callback) at the intervals you specify. You can do your countdown in the handler.

WM_TIMER messages are low priority and can be pushed back in the queue.

I would use the system internal performance counter... its more accurate...
