hey guys! I have already looked for a tut here and other places and i still can’t find what im after.

Im creating a game when they **start the game a timer begins** , when they finish the game, the timer stops and **the time is displayed in minutes and seconds** it took to complete the game.

I don’t this is very hard but i cant get it to work. I’ve tried the get Timer function but i was unsuccessful. Can someone please help me?

Thanks guys.
