Hello, everyone！I am making a farm game, can anyone teach me how to set a real time timer and countdown that when the game is shut down, the timer and countdown can still running?

Hi @yimtszkin

it depends how cheat proof you want to make your game. If you just want to use the device clock to control resources, then you can search the forum or google for excellent templates and tutorials on off-line timers.

If you want to prevent users manipulating the device time to cheat the game, then we have two solutions on APPFormative (see signature).

1. a simple server based clock request. http://appformative.com/implementation_gamesalad_getservertime.mox
2. more advanced implementation of refreshing consumables. http://appformative.com/implementation_gamesalad_consumables.mox
