Maths Game Timer

I'm making a maths game and i want to put in a timer so they have to answer the question within 10secs and if they run out of time the next question pops up.

Okay so just add a timer with interval = 10000

.. or use the timer() function ->

VB Code:

Dim RegTimer As Single
 
RegTimer = Timer
 
Do While Timer - RegTimer < 2
 'Wait 2 Sec.
Loop
 
MsgBox "You are too late.. :)"

That code will have a process utilization of 99% though.
Using a timer will not.

youre right.. sorry :)

Jim.

Is the timer on the screen, I mean is there a countdown clock.

If there s then you can just use a timer with a 1000 interval and have a code of:
if label1.caption < 10 then
label1.caption = label1.caption - 1
end if
if label1.caption = 0 then
msgbox, etc.
end if
