Here's a quick demo showing a way to make a circular timer in gamesalad.

It uses a bit of trickery (but doesn't everything?) to achieve the effect. The duration is easily customizable.

Right now it is on a gray background, but it could easily be an image or whatever. The area directly behind the timer needs to be static for the illusion to work properly.

Feel free to use it however you want!

Another nice demo Firemaple - thank you

Wow that's brilliant! - I went about trying to create one straight after your first ingenuous answer in the last thread. Only just noticed the demo, will check this out as soon as I get home.

Thanks very much Jo!

That's really neat, Joe, thanks for sharing.

Don't know if I missing something here though but when I click the download project button, it runs the app in a web page without downloading (same with all others as well).
