Stop Watch

Getting Started Newbie Questions
1

Hello,

I am am relatively new to coding so I am trying to do all the simple stuff first.

I want to make an app that involves a stopwatch, where if you touch a button it starts and touch it again it stops. I have been looking around and have been unable to find any tutorials.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thankyou
Ollie

I’m not sure how to help you with your problem but I found a great resource for Corona tutorials. There might be one for you.

Thankyou for your response, but I have looked everywhere and i still can not find anywhere.

function t:timer( event )
local count = event.count

print( “Table listener called " … count … " time(s)” )
self.text = count

if count >= 10 then
timer.cancel ( event.source )
end
end

timer.performWithDelay( 1000, t, -1 )

That is how i have set up my timer, does anyone know how i can make it to start when i press a button?

Thankyou

Give this a shot, It covers basic touch handling.
