I’m wanting to experiment around with a stopwatch that is accurate to the thousandth of a second (to .xxx), however I’m having trouble with anything I’ve tried so far. I’m using a base file that I found called “stopwatch.lua,” and I’m wondering if anyone could simply give me some example code that would start a count up from 0.000 that is accurate to the thousandth of a second (or let me know if that is even possible). Thank you.
Stopwatch.lua code:
local stopwatch = {} local stopwatch\_mt = { \_\_index = stopwatch } local floor, getTime = math.floor, system.getTimer local function timeFormat(secs) if (secs \< 1) then return "00:00" end local mins = "00" if (secs \> 59) then mins = floor(secs / 60) if (mins \< 10) then mins = "0"..mins end secs = secs % 60 end if (secs \< 10) then secs = "0"..secs end return mins..":"..secs end -- Time check function stopwatch:getElapsed() if (self.\_pauseStart) then return self.\_pauseStart - self.\_startTime end return getTime() - self.\_startTime end function stopwatch:getElapsedSeconds() return floor(self:getElapsed() / 1000) end function stopwatch:getRemaining() if (self.\_pauseStart) then return self.\_endTime - self.\_pauseStart end return self.\_endTime - getTime() end function stopwatch:getRemainingSeconds() return floor(self:getRemaining() / 1000) end function stopwatch:isElapsed() if (self.\_endTime) then return self:getRemaining() \<= 0 end end -- Modify function stopwatch:addTime(seconds) if (self.\_endTime) then self.\_endTime = self.\_endTime + seconds \* 1000 else self.\_startTime = self.\_startTime - seconds \* 1000 end end -- Pause function stopwatch:isPaused() return self.\_pauseStart ~= nil end function stopwatch:pause() if (not self:isPaused()) then self.\_pauseStart = getTime() end end function stopwatch:resume() if (self:isPaused()) then if (self.\_endTime) then self.\_endTime = self.\_endTime + (getTime() - self.\_pauseStart) else self.\_startTime = self.\_startTime + (getTime() - self.\_pauseStart) end self.\_pauseStart = nil end end -- Formatting function stopwatch:toElapsedString() return timeFormat(self:getElapsedSeconds()) end function stopwatch:toRemainingString() if (not self.\_endTime) then return "99:99" end return timeFormat(self:getRemainingSeconds()) end -- Object creation function stopwatch.new(countdown) local newTimer = {} local startTime = getTime() if (countdown) then newTimer.\_endTime = startTime + countdown \* 1000 end newTimer.\_startTime = startTime return setmetatable(newTimer, stopwatch\_mt) end stopwatch.format = timeFormat return stopwatch
