I found humor in TWGS While waiting for a game timer to open a game to play ... Quote: This game will open in 2 hours and 60 minutes. 0~59 = a count of 60 , therefore 60 = count of 61 or + 1 hour 0 mins. Hard to believe this was not caught by the programer. Vid |

Maybe it rounds the minutes but not the hours, and it was actually 2 hours, 59 minutes, 30+ seconds. |

I was watching and updating very quickly , no seconds are reported. But the point I'm sharing is that 60 mins to 0 minutes is 61 minutes. Therefore it should be 59 to 0 equaling 60 minutes. That is all. Vid |

The difference between 0 (zero) base, and 1 (one) base Logic… Code: SetVar $TimeRemaining 180 SetVar $Hours 0 SerVar $Mins 0 SetVar $Temp $TimeRemaining While ($Temp > 60) Add $Hours 1 Subtract $Temp 60 End SetVar $Mins $Temp Echo "*Time Remaining: "&$Hours&" Hours, "&$Mins&" Minutes.*" |

My point is that the "60" might just be a display bug, not a value that the minutes counter can ever actually have. Seconds aren't displayed, but we don't know if they're rounded or just dropped. 59 minutes 30+ seconds might be displayed as 60 minutes, which looks weird when there's also an hours figure. |

Yes, it's just a display bug, but it could be quite annoying if you are parsing that with a script. |

That actually doesn't make any sense. If the game opens now, then you should be able to enter... lol... Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop. Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie? Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now. Dark Helmet: What happened to then? Colonel Sandurz: We passed then. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now. Dark Helmet: Go back to then. Colonel Sandurz: When? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: Now? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: I can't. Dark Helmet: Why? Colonel Sandurz: We missed it. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. Dark Helmet: When will then be now? Colonel Sandurz: Soon. Dark Helmet: How soon? |
