Time counter name

[Slasher]

Hi,


Time Counter number plus Lost Time Counter number = __?___ New Counter time.

example:
Time left (1300) + Lost Time (500) =? Time.

What would you call the new time counter?

cheers

[Gurok]

Total time?

[miguel]

The Time Left is already lost so I'd call it Past.

[Tabata]

hmmm    maybe one of those?
...
> remaining time
> definitive time
> net time remaining
> time avaliable


or change the name of one of the other counters to make it more clear (given time, total time, ..., gambled time)

[DoorKnobHandle]

How about Chronological measurement of so-called time units that have passed since a certain discrete point of reference?

Just call the variable CMOSCTUTHPSACDPOR, easy to remember, easy life.

If you give time an end then it's as good as gone.

Where's Janos when needed?

[Crimson Wizard]

Isn't "time left" + "time lost" = constant?

Total time?

I think this, unless there's some misunderstanding.

You have a way with words, sir

Code: ags

if (lost_time > time_left)
{
  time_left = 0;
}
else
{
  time_left -= lost_time;
}

I would call the new counter "Ben".  It's a nice solid, reliable name.  Not like "Skybert," or "Mcensi".

I say we call it a day.

I say we call it a day.

I wonder if slasher remembers about this thread?

[Slasher]

Hi crimson,

I wonder if slasher remembers about this thread?

Yep, still do.

I generally wait until there are a number of replies so I can check out all the good replies aside the usual cretin replies often given

I have appointed a term for the Time

[Gurok]

Do we get to see who won? I never got to vote, but I liked Baron's suggestion.
