We'll need to create a couple of functions that activate the countdown and also stops the countdown at 0 seconds when the game is over.
Set up the timer countdown for the game with a local function called
myTimer().local myTimer = function()
Have the seconds for the timer countdown by an increment of 1. With the
countertext object, display the time usingnumSeconds. Print outnumSecondsto see the countdown in the Terminal window.numSeconds = numSeconds - 1 counter.text = "Time: " .. tostring( numSeconds ) print(numSeconds)Create an
ifstatement for when the timer runs out or if all the stars are gone. Within the block, cancel the timer and callcallGameOver()to end the round. Close themyTimer()function withend.if numSeconds < 1 or stars.numChildren <= 0 then timer.cancel(timerInfo) panda:pause() restartTimer = timer.performWithDelay( 300, function() callGameOver(); end, 1 ) end ...
