Keeping track of time!!

Perhaps someone can help me. I have a time counter that i have created using the Beebe games class. as of now it works great, but my question is, what is the best way to keep track of the time when i pause my game. I understand that i would probly want to use a variable that holds the current time when i pause the game. But im unsure of how to impliment that back once i start the game again. Im going to continue to try and figure it out, but any ideas or thoughts would be great. thanks! [import]uid: 19620 topic_id: 8363 reply_id: 308363[/import]
