Hey all,
I want to do these cool little mini popup message things that are misc fictional popups. I wish to use a single timer that runs on minutes. It occurred to me that two things might happen.
1. The timer might start to bottleneck the memory (massive number being produced and starts to pull down memory and frame rates in the sim
and...
2. How much time should a timer time time if a timer was timing time?
3. How would you 'loop' time? I know this is a sacred bit of information for only groundhogs, but surely we know how to do this? Modulo? How would you write a modulo for looping time? (And would a groundhog show up at my door wearing a black suit and sunglasses?)
What I'm trying to do is similar to those popup things in the CRT screens in the movie 2001 a Space Odyssee, like in the Pan Am shuttle.
