Using the ITimer for Minutes/Seconds

[DarkWhoppy]

I'm alittle lazy and not too good with things like this. But I need to use the ITimer to find the minutes and seconds thats passed since I last reset it. But, I get these outrages differences when I change on digit . Like

if(Time >= 3000) //Millisecs
{
. . . .
}

If I change that to 4000 the time doesnt' change at all. . . . Could someone paste some code for a timer?

Code: Select all

//1000ms = 1 second
//60sec =  1 minute
//60000ms = 1 minute

void getTimeSince(u32 time, u32 & minutes, u32 & seconds) {
   u32 currTime = ITimer->getTime()

   u32 delta = currTime - time;  
   // delta =  minutes * 60000 + seconds * 1000 + ms

   //get num ms left that dont make up a minute   ( afterMinutes = seconds * 1000 + ms )
   u32 afterMinutes =  delta % 60000; 
   minutes = (delta-afterMinutes)/60000; 

   //get num ms left that dont make up a second ( afterseconds = ms )
   u32 afterSeconds = afterMinutes % 1000;    
   seconds = (delta - minutes*60000 - afterSeconds) / 1000;

}

modulus isnt the fastest thing to use-- i wonder if anyone knows a faster way?

here is a link to it:

i sent it in to niko, as a proposed addition to 0.05, but it is of course up to him if he decides to adapt it for that purpose.

oh, and it still uses ms, so i just multiply the seconds by 1000 when i pass it the time to set for. it wouldnt be too hard to just add another version of the set func that does that part for ya tho.

Thanks man, the FMORG timer works well .
