'''INT[9]''' timer

'''Timer''' is a [[global variable]], holding ten integers. Each frame a certain value is added to all of them. This value is about the time it took to build the last frame, in 1/100 seconds.

== Example ==
Display how long the program has been running:
<pre>
Private
int ft; // Help variable
int i; // how long the program has been running in 1/100s
float f; // how long the program has been running in 1/100s
Begin

set_mode(320,400,8);
write_int (0,0,300,0,&timer);
write_int (0,0,310,0,&i);
write_float (0,0,320,0,&f);

Repeat

// Calculate how long the program has been running in 1/100s without a float
ft %= 10; // keep the milliseconds from last time
ft += frame_time*1000; // add the last passed time to it in milliseconds
i += ft/10; // add it to the integer without the milliseconds

// Calculate how long the program has been running in 1/100s with a float
f+=frame_time*100;

frame;
Until(key(_ESC))

End
</pre>

Let a [[process]] wait for a certain time by calling this function:
<pre>
Function int wait(int t)
Begin
t += timer[0];
While(timer[0]<t) frame; End
return t-timer[0];
End
</pre>

This can be done without a timer too, as is displayed [[frame_time|here]].
