Time reset

Okay I have been searching the forums for a while (a few days). I have tried some of the things that I had read with no luck. So basically I am using a switch to run my menu>game>end screen. At the end screen it has a replay button. So I want the game to reset the time to start at 0:0:0, but it starts where I had left off.

here is my code for the.

Ball b1, b2;
SplashScreen start, end;
Time t;
int i = 0;
void setup()
{
size(400, 400);
smooth();
start = new SplashScreen("play_Button.gif", width/2, -160, 0, 20);
end = new SplashScreen("endScreen.gif", width/2, 600, 0, -20);
b2 = new Ball(int(random(40, 50)), int(random(100, 200)), 20);
b1 = new Ball(width/2, height/2, 20);
b1.velocity.x = 0;
b1.velocity.y = 0;
t = new Time(width-90, 50);
}
void draw()
{
switch(i)
{
case 0:
background(255);
start.draw();
break;
case 1:
background(150);
fill(255, 0, 0);//red
b1.draw();
fill(0, 0, 255);
b2.draw();
b2.randomDirection();
b2.zeroNoSpeed();
t.draw();
if (ballCollision(b1.location.x, b1.location.y,
20, b2.location.x, b2.location.y, 20) == true)
{
i = 2;
}
break;
case 2:
background(255);
end.draw();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
void keyPressed()
{
if (key == CODED)
if (keyCode == RIGHT)
{
println("right");
b1.velocity.x = 1;
}
else if (keyCode == LEFT)
{
println("left");
b1.velocity.x = -1;
}
else if (keyCode == UP)
{
println("up");
b1.velocity.y = -1;
}
else if (keyCode == DOWN)
{
println("down");
b1.velocity.y = 1;
}
}
void keyReleased()
{
if (key == CODED)
if (keyCode == RIGHT)
{
b1.velocity.x = 0;
}
else if (keyCode == LEFT)
{
println("a");
b1.velocity.x = 0;
}
else if (keyCode == UP)
{
println("w");
b1.velocity.y = 0;
}
else if (keyCode == DOWN)
{
println("s");
b1.velocity.y = 0;
}
}
void mousePressed() {
if (i==0) {
if (mouseX > width/2 - start.button.width/2 &&
mouseX < width/2 + start.button.width/2 &&
mouseY > height/2 - start.button.height/2 &&
mouseY < height/2 + start.button.height/2)
i = 1;
}
if (i == 2) {
if (mouseX > width/2 - end.button.width/2 +49 &&
mouseX < width/2 + end.button.width/2 -54 &&
mouseY > height/2 - end.button.height/2 +93 &&
mouseY < height/2 + end.button.height/2 -23)
{
b1.location.x = width/2;
b1.location.y = width/2;
b2.location.x = int(random(40, 50));
b2.location.y = int(random(100, 200));
i = 1;
}
}
}
boolean ballCollision(float x1, float y1, int d1, float x2, float y2, int d2)
{
float totalTime;
float distances= dist(x1, y1, x2, y2);
println("dist: " + distances);
if (d1/2+d2/2 > distances)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Time Class

class Time
{
PVector tLocation;
int mi;
int s;
int m;
public Time(int _x, int _y)
{
tLocation = new PVector(_x, _y);
}
void draw()
{
clock();
text(m+" : "+s+" : "+mi, tLocation.x, tLocation.y);
}
void clock()
{
mi = millis();
m = (mi/(60*1000));
s = (mi/(1000) %60);
mi = mi % 1000;
}
}

I tried putting a method in the time class. calling it reset() and having mi = mills(). and calling it in the mousePressed() under the second if statement. As well as a few other things I have tried. Sorry Big programing noob here but slowly learning and getting better

Thanks for the help

There is no way to reset the millis timer. i wish there was a built-in function to do so, but unfortunately there is not. So we have to make our own way.

Consider this:

int startTime = millis(); //do this first thing in setup
int currentTime = 0;
//Every time you want the time do this:
currentTime = millis() - startTime;
//Every time you want to reset the time do this
currentTime = 0;
startTime = millis();

If that does not work i do not know what will. It works for me in every game i make.
