Timer

How do I set up a countdown timer on screen rather than in console? Can anyone give me tips or websites that I can take a look at?

What code do you have to display the one on the console?

A search in the forum provides some previous examples:

So I took a look at the links you guys wrote down here, and this is what I got down.... class Time { float seconds= 300; void start() { if(time <0) { println("gameover");

} } }

but I still can't seem to understand how to make time go to zero...

class Time
 { 
float seconds= 300; 
void start() 
{ 
if(time <0) 
{ 
println("gameover");

} 
} 
}

I had written some class similar to what you seem to want. You need an update function inside your class. This will be called each time through draw and here you will check total time passed.
Start function should just set the start time. Of course, you will use millis() unless you want much higher level unnecessary over here.
