Is it possible to make a timer?

WhySoCREATIVE

I would like to have a Day, Hour, Minute, Seconds timer on screen.
To show how long the user has played the game for a specific level.

I believe I can save the "seconds" variable to a table
and load the seconds and have it calculate Days, Hours, Minutes to display.

Anyone know how this will work?

Thanks @tatiang where I am at is I have a clock that does custom images for 00hourss 00Min 00 Sec

However the problem is I cannot get custom image to change for 100hours and 10hours...

Also if anyone knows how to change hours to stop at 23 so when it becomes 24 it goes to 00 and adds 1 to days that would be great.

10 hours equals 36,000 seconds. So you'd need to display floor(game.seconds/36000) to show the number of tens of hours.

Thanks! I think i figured it out. However do you know what the difference is between %10 and /10? Not sure when to use it. @tatiang

/10 means "divide by ten." So 350/10 = 35 and 28/10 = 2.8.

%10 means "mod ten" and can also be written mod(value,10). Mod returns remainder of a division. So 350%10 = 0 and 28%10 = 8.
