Is there a way to time a program? I am making a game where you have ten minutes to finish, and if you don't finish in ten minutes, the mafia come blow up your house 'cuz you owe them money. How could I get this accomplished?

maybe you can look at the code snippet I submitted about time.h. That should help you, and I think it will also solve your problem

Also depends on what you're programming it in. I mean WIndows, Dx. Both have timer APIs built in. I am not sure how to access the Dx timer in C but you can set one up in WinAPI when initializing the window class.

SDL has SDL_GetTicks() or something, but i dont think you want to pick up SDL just for one little task. if you are already using SDL ....

FYI: I am programming in Windows with the Microsoft compiler.

Is it a Windows app though? I mean is there a window or is it Dx or OpenGL. What API are you using?

No api, just a plain old console.

If you want I can fire off the program code to you.

if you wanna go for the console, I'll say it again:
read through my code snippet...
it's covering exactly _that_

kpyro: Okay. I'll get it pulled together.

No, I am not ignoring KaGeZ, I would just like to see the code here instead of go getting it I am lazy.
