Hello everyone
Following the publication of Chapter 6 a week or so ago, Steve H emailed to me an excellent publication featuring different ways to construct a clock. It is attached here entitled 'countdown 4.zip'.
The second page in particular shows how a timer can be constructed using both scripting and non-scripting.
Steve H then contracted the dreaded flu lurgy but while Steve H was on his sickbed recovering he emailed me again after realising that my "ticker
trigger" was not needed to construct a countdown timer clock, and used the while loop script instead. I've converted his emailed code into a simple
timer and have attached this as 'Easy Timer.zip'
If you follow the logic in the orginal Chapter 6 you should be easily able to implement the Easy Timer into the multiple choice quiz that was attached to Chapter 6 if you so desire.
The scripting versions of the timer use the 'while' command. This command was not covered in chapters 1 to 5 so for those of you who are following the learning scripting chapter series, the while command adds a new command to your scripting knowledge.
Thank you Steve H for your knowledge and companionship!
Cheers
Graham
