I am making this game, and it needs a couple timers, I am having trouble with the syntax. The game is just a little blue square (canvas()) hopping around the screen in an applet. You click on it and it changes color. I need a timer to make the game stop after 1 minute. And I have no idea where to start.Can anyone help with this????
I also have another problem, when I make it so that there are two creatures hopping around the screen, if I click on one, they both stop, as opposed to just one stopping, and the other moving.Anyone help with this?????
