Hello everyone..

I want to make game and I wanted to create a time (60 seconds) in the middle up of the display screen size 600 x 600 ..
That time will run backwards, which is when the time is up (0), then the game will stop.
Can you help me how to make it?

Sorry if my english bad..

Thanks.

The display can be a JLabel where the text is set to the time to be displayed. The Timer itself would be a Swing Timer (assuming that this is written in Swing) that repeats every second and within its actionPerformed method decrements an int class field. As for stopping the game, that will depend on your game's "model" which should have a method(s) that will allow it to be stopped.

Have a look at the tutorial, especially the one on Swing Timers and give it a go. If you run into trouble, come on back with your code.

Much luck!

I'm sorry Fubarable, I'm new in Java, Maybe you have an example code that shows more or less the same as what you mean?

Thanks.

The best source for sample code is the Swing tutorials. It would be far better than anything I could produce together with excellent lessons. I suggest you have a look there, study what they have on Swing Timers in particular and everything else. You'll be glad you did, and it will help you better to understand what we suggest here as well. Much luck!
