Hi everyone I need help for a timer with MY new game. The timer goes to the negatives and I need it so when it goes to zero it will go to the title screen.
Heres my code:
#CONSTANT TRUE = 1
#CONSTANT FALSE = 0
#CONSTANT MODE_TITLE = 1
#CONSTANT MODE_INSTRUCTIONS = 2
#CONSTANT MODE_SUBJECT_SELECT = 3
#CONSTANT MODE_MATH_TEST = 4
#CONSTANT MODE_HISTORY_TEST = 5
Type TestQuestion
question as string
choice1 as string
choice2 as string
choice3 as string
choice4 as string
answer as integer
EndType
rem read the math questions data into the math array
restore MathQuestions
read size
dim math(size) as TestQuestion
for i = 1 to size
read math(i).question
read math(i).choice1
read math(i).choice2
read math(i).choice3
read math(i).choice4
read math(i).answer
next i
rem read the history questions data into the history array
restore HistoryQuestions
read size
dim history(size) as TestQuestion
for i = 1 to size
read history(i).question
read history(i).choice1
read history(i).choice2
read history(i).choice3
read history(i).choice4
read history(i).answer
next i
rem read the history questions data into the history array
restore ScienceQuestions
read size
dim science(size) as TestQuestion
for i = 1 to size
read science(i).question
read science(i).choice1
read science(i).choice2
read science(i).choice3
read science(i).choice4
read science(i).answer
next i

There are different timers so its hard to put the timer in a code snippet. But thank you for your help.
