Countdown Timer

[rbytes]

While this countdown timer does work, it is not easy to read the display. I look forward to the time when font size (and font name) are available as SPL commands.
But it should be easy to tell when the countdown reaches 0. The screen turns red.

Code: Select all

Inspired by your timer, I also made a timer:

Code: Select all

maxt = 10 'in seconds
#.scroff()
>
  t = #.time()
  ? t>maxt, t = maxt
  #.scrclear()
  #.drawtext(10,10,gett(t))
  #.drawtext(10,40,gett(maxt-t))
  #.scr()
< t<maxt

gett(t)=
  hr = #.lower(t/3600)
  min = #.lower((t-hr*3600)/60)
  sec = t%60
  <= #.str(hr,"00:")+#.str(min,"00:")+#.str(sec,"00.00")
.

Nice! I see there are much more efficient ways to code with SPL.

Is there a way to derive year, month and day from the #.time() function?

No, #.time is just a timer (note that there can be unlimited amount of named timers using #.time function).
There will be dedicated date/time functions in SPL.

Your wish list sorted by priority is very welcome!
Also I found rosettacode.org to be very useful to find interesting tasks to facilitate development of SPL function set.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

Date function #.today and time function #.now will appear in version 0.0.12.
This is the code syntax example:

Code: Select all

#.scroff()
>
  #.scrclear()

  h,m,s = #.now() 'time
  t = #.str(h,"00:")+#.str(m,"00:")+#.str(s,"00.000")
  #.drawtext(10,10,t)

  d,m,y = #.today() 'date
  t = #.str(d,"00'.'")+#.str(m,"00'.'")+#.str(y)
  #.drawtext(10,40,t)

  #.scr()

And the output:

Valuable addition! Thanks!

I updated my SPL version last night, and this code is now working well.
