Hi
Is it possible to have milliseconds? What I need help is I’m creating is tracking how fast someone can react soemthing, and to get accurate data I need the timer to have milliseconds. So basically after the second mark it should have two more digits that count fast up to 99 to reach 1 second representing milliseconds. [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 31178 reply_id: 331178[/import]
What you’re actually asking for is hundredths of a second, milliseconds are what Corona works in anyway i.e. 1000 milliseconds to a second.
I haven’t tested this as I’m at work but it should give you an idea:
[lua]local minutes = 0
local seconds = 0
local hundredths = 0
local clockTimer = system.getTimer()
local timeText = display.newText(“0:00:00”, 160, 240, system.defaultFont, 20)
localGroup:insert(timeText)
local gameLoop = function (event)
local t = system.getTimer()
local elapsed = t - clockTimer
minutes = math.floor(elapsed/60000)
local remainder = elapsed - (minutes * 60000)
seconds = math.floor(remainder/1000)
remainder = remainder - (seconds * 1000)
hundredths = math.floor(remainder/10)
local minText = minutes
local secText = seconds
local hunText = hundredths
if seconds < 10 then secText= “0”…secText; end
if hundredths < 10 then hunText =“0”…hunText; end
timeText.text = minText…":"…secText…":"…hunText
end

Yes exactly like that thanks so much. I was just able to see this code last night and test it. I been really busy that why I had not posted soon. But anyways thanks for the help [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 31178 reply_id: 125906[/import]
