A time system will work differently based on what type of game you'll be
creating. If you are making a turn-based RPG, then obviously time will
advance at the interval you set for each turn, whether it's 10 minutes
each turn or 1 hour. You will just need to determine at what time you
want your sun to rise and set.
For a real-time simulation, time will run without interruption, but it
doesn't have to mean 1 sec of game time equals 1 sec of game time. You
could easily have time advanced at 1.5 times normal. You'll also want
to advance time when (if) a character requires sleep. For a RTS, you
will use a threaded timer.
Displaying "day" and "night" is a whole 'nother question with a whole set
of its own variables.
