millis() (Read 530 times)

millis()
Jul 3rd, 2007, 2:25pm  


hello,
I've got something like this:

void draw()
{
 if (millis() > 113423)
 {
 curve(0,0, width/2,height/2, width/4,height/4, 0,0)
 }
}

so this starts drawing the curve after a certain time defined by the if function. but how can I do the reverse? say, I want to stop the draw function drawing a certain shape after a certain time elapses.

I'm new in this so sorry if this sounds stupid.

thanks.

emre.

You need something like
Code:
int now;

...

//at some point 
if(someCondition)
{
 now=millis();
}

if(millis()>=now && millis()<now+10000)
{
  //dos something.
}
