Timer
Hello all,
I am writing a text-based game in DOS32 and am trying
to determine the best way to simulate real time. For
instance, in my game each action that the character
does takes a specified amount of time -- walking (ft
per second), firing a weapon (number of shots per
second, reload time), etc, for added realism.
I am considering using a global timing procedure that
will execute commands entered by the user (currently
via keyboard) and display the results of those
commands every tick of the clock, if applicable. If
the user sits there and does nothing, then time will
continue to pass allowing opponents within the game to
reposition themselves, take cover, reload, etc.
My question is, what in your opinion is the best way
to accomplish the timing procedure?
