Re: simple minutes countdown clock

I won't be burning my cookies anymore. ;)

I need to start working with fonts like this, nice job.

That would be very useful for me. Great idea!

Here is a version I am testing now:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. OPTION _EXPLICIT
2. _TITLE "Timer" 'b+ mod 2019-06-19
3. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(200, 20, 32)
4. DIM tstart, m, k$
5. INPUT "Minutes "; m    'decimal fractions of a minute work too
6. m = m * 60
7. tstart = TIMER(.001)
8. WHILE LEN(k$) = 0     'kill timer at any time
9.     CLS
10.     k$ = INKEY$
11.     PRINT USING "####.##"; (m - (TIMER(.001) - tstart)) / 60;      ' show both pos countdown and - time past
12.     IF (m - (TIMER(.001) - tstart)) / 60 < 0 THEN BEEP: _DELAY .98  ' beep about once per second
13.     _LIMIT 60
14. WEND
15.
