I was hoping to set a score sistem based on te survival time of the character for my arcade-type game

Can anyone gimme some tip on how to calculate time?
Do you know of any game that already uses this feature?

Update! I found the

(timer)

block to do this
That was actually pretty easy!

Another way to have a timer, which you can start later in the game and you can add or remove seconds, is to have something like this:

when I receive [start timer v]
set [Timer v] to [0]
repeat (30)
wait (1) secs
change [Timer v] by (1)
if <touching color [#ff0088] ?> then
change [Timer v] by (5)

    
end

    
end
say [Time's up!] for (2) secs

I'm not sure if you can change the value of the

(timer)

or not, but I prefer this way anyway. Also means you can have just seconds/minutes instead of milliseconds.

Actually, now that you mention it, i guess that's a better way to do it, the miliseconds count is kinda annoying to read

To programm an infinite counter

when green flag clicked
set [minutes v] to [0]
set [seconds v] to [0]
forever
    
wait (1) secs
change [seconds v] by (1)
end

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <[seconds] > [60]> then
    
change [minutes v] by (1)
set [seconds v] to [0]
end

end

Thanks for the help, btw
