1. Get GamePlaying Time

Hello All,
I am currently working on a RPG Game. I am trying to figure out how I would get the game playing time. As in seconds, minutes and hours. I have an idea, however I am puzzled as to how to go about it. Any examples would be appericated, if needed I can show my code. Below is my code. I have the variables, but I'm not sure how would I go about using them to get the game playing time. As I said any examples would be great.
Another question unrelated to this. Every time I try to use Judiath Evan's IDE, I get this error that says it cannot find autoexec.bat, IDE will not run without it. I'm running under Windows Vista Home Premium. 64-Bit.
----------------------------------- integer MiliSecs,Secs,Mins,Hrs atom DeltaTime sequence Display_Clock atom LastTick,CurrentTicks atom Ticks,TotalTicks atom GamePlayingTime atom BattleTime atom ShoppingTime atom ClockGfx sequence ClockRect atom ClockWidth,ClockHeight ------------------------------------- procedure GameTime() end procedure --------------------------------------

The easiest thing is probably to note the start and stop times using now(), and then use diff(), which returns the number of seconds between the two. You can keep adding seconds for subsequent sessions, and then convert that sum as needed for display purposes.

Could I get a working example of that? It would be easier for me to figure out if I had a visual example.

Something like this...
-- session times include std/datetime.e datetime start, finish export procedure start_session() start = now() end procedure export procedure finish_session() finish = now() end procedure export function session_duration() return diff( finish, start ) end function -- convert seconds into a datetime export function convert_seconds( integer seconds ) datetime duration = datetime:new() duration[SECOND] = remainder( seconds, 60 ) seconds = floor( seconds / 60 ) duration[HOUR] = remainder( seconds, 60 ) seconds = floor( seconds / 60 ) duration[DAY] = seconds return end function -- only works with DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND export function format( datetime duration ) return sprintf( "%d Days %02d:%02d:%02d", duration[DAY..$] ) end function
