I am able to display a timer count, but am having a tough time getting it to pause. When user hit continue, the timer count should continue where it left off.

How can I accomplish this?

Never mind I've figured it out by creating a new getSeconds() when user click on continue.

Another way is to create your own timers and update them each loop (when the game is not paused).




this.mess = abs(sin(times#))

or simply meausure the pause time with a dedicated timer, and then add it to the startTime# (or similar) variable that you have set to the initial time.

startTime#=timer()
do
if "pause"
startPauseTimer#=timer()
"do pause"
pauseTime#=timer()-startPauseTimer#
startTime#=startTime#+pauseTime#
endif
timeToDisplay#=timer()-startTime#
"display timeToDisplay# in a suitable format"
sync()
loop

That's all folks!
