I am creating a text based game, so I want to do one tiny system. How it would work: When you get Jailed you must wait X seconds.
So the screen would show you how much seconds left until you are set free like:
9996 seconds changes into 9995 seconds, and so on. Keep in mind this is console c++ game.
Hi there,
It depends on which platform you are using, but look into the sleep() function for the platform you are using (windows or unix/linux).
Windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686298%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Linux: http://linux.die.net/man/3/sleep
All the best,
