 Game TimerI found humor in TWGS
While waiting for a game timer to open a game to play ... Quote: This game will open in 2 hours and 60 minutes. 0~59 = a count of 60 , therefore 60 = count of 61 or + 1 hour 0 mins. Hard to believe this was not caught by the programer.

Re: Game Timer Maybe it rounds the minutes but not the hours, and it was actually 2 hours, 59 minutes, 30+ seconds.

Re: Game Timer I was watching and updating very quickly , no seconds are reported.
But the point I'm sharing is that 60 mins to 0 minutes is 61 minutes. Therefore it should be 59 to 0 equaling 60 minutes. That is all.

Re: Game Timer The difference between 0 (zero) base, and 1 (one) base Logic…
Code: SetVar $TimeRemaining 180 SetVar $Hours 0 SerVar $Mins 0 SetVar $Temp $TimeRemaining While ($Temp > 60) Add $Hours 1 Subtract $Temp 60 End SetVar $Mins $Temp Echo "*Time Remaining: "&$Hours&" Hours, "&$Mins&" Minutes.*" |

My point is that the "60" might just be a display bug, not a value that the minutes counter can ever actually have. Seconds aren't displayed, but we don't know if they're rounded or just dropped. 59 minutes 30+ seconds might be displayed as 60 minutes, which looks weird when there's also an hours figure. _________________ Suddenly you're Busted! |

Re: Game Timer Yes, it's just a display bug, but it could be quite annoying if you are parsing that with a script.

Re: Game Timer That actually doesn't make any sense. If the game opens now, then you should be able to enter... lol...
