Converting Seconds to Minutes

[robm06]

Well,

Now that I fixed my last problem, I'm stumped on something new (surprise?)

Anyways, I'm wanting to take a number 40 for instance, and do math magic on it to get seconds and then convert the seconds to a minutes display of minutes:seconds remaining.

The only thing I could get was a readout like 13.6 after multiplying it, but after I get 13.6 I want to take the decimal and get seconds from that.

Any idea?
Sorry to be a pain

What are you converting to seconds?

What are you converting to seconds?

Something in the game ticks 40 times, 20 seconds apart. I'm wanting to make a conversion to countdown based on how many ticks are left.

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

ticktimer = createStopWatch()

When the ticking starts, do:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

startStopWatch(ticktimer)

To get the remaining time:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function timeRemaining()
	local time = math.floor(getStopWatchTime(ticktimer))
	local minutes_remaining = math.floor((800-time)/60)
	local seconds_remaining = (800-time) % 60
	echo(minutes_remaining..":"..seconds_remaining.." remaining.\n")
end

On the final tick:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

stopStopWatch(ticktimer)
resetStopWatch(ticktimer)
