Just (a - b).

How would I get the timer to stop and post the time when the game is over though?

You simply stop updating a when the game is over.

Alright, one more question. Is it possible to shorten the amount of digits in the number? Like, it goes 1.734611324. Then when I go to the end screen the number is a lot longer.

You can use example: If you want to change the number of digits to something other than 2, use that instead of 2.

Code: Select all

string.format('%.2f', your_number)

example:

Code: Select all

print(string.format('%.2f', 3.1290423094))
-- prints 3.13

If you want to change the number of digits to something other than 2, use that instead of 2.

So, this would go in love.update or love.draw?

love.draw.

In love.draw, you have something like: It's not exactly the same what you have, but it's basically comparable.

Now, instead you do Adjust as needed.

Wow, I feel like a complete retard for not seeing how easy this is.

Don't worry, everyone who writes code goes through that. I go feel that way about once a month.

Okay well, these should be the last few questions in THIS thread. (I hope) Anyway, whenever I take b out of the timer, the time changes from what it was while playing. It's like the time just says how much time it took to load the game and when I go back to play and then go to the end game screen, the time is the same as the last time I went to the screen. Second question, how do I make it so the timer only starts when the player presses the enter key and then the timer starts at 0 at the start of a new game?
