hi i m making a game and its scoring in dependent on the time a player is holding ball between two bars
my first problem is that i am not getting the time on which the game is started (i have read some examples but they all are showing the total time the app is lunched ) i only need the time that main game is started.
and second problem is that how should i display data calculated in one scene and display on other scene.
when you start the main game, you can just get the time with something like:
local startTime = system.getTimer()
and whenever you need to know how long it’s been, you can just use:
system.getTimer() - startTime
To share data between scenes, you can just save it in a separate module. Check out this tutorial, specifically the myData bit at the end:
