Press the “Begin Test” button on the bottom to activate timers Have you ever wanted to test if your timer code is accurate to real time? Well here is a comparison of accuracy between a few different timer scripts To test the timers in turbo mode activate turbo mode by holding shift while starting a project or go into the editor and activate it Each timers characteristics are below Simple variable timer: a basic timer that goes up every one second Pros: easy to construct Cons: falls behind after a while (or some reason each second actually lasts 1.3 seconds) Advanced variable timer: a more advanced timer that fixes the issue with the simple variable timer. Pros: more accurate than simple variable timer (no turbo mode) Cons: the timer breaks if turbo mode is on and doesn’t look great when active Counter timer: a timer similar to the simple variable timer that uses the hidden “counter” blocks Pros: i don’t know (maybe flexing due to the hidden block) Cons: counter block isn’t shown in the block selection and it still falls behind the other timers after a while and it can’t count down instead of up Days since 2000 timer: a timer that makes use of the very precise “days since 2000” value Pros: Very accurate and better than “advanced variable timer” Cons: may be confusing to construct and cannot count down instead of up Variable timer that tracks tenths of a second: a variable timer modified to track tenths of a second Pros: tracks tenths of a second (simple variable timer cannot do that) Cons: falls behind if turbo mode is on Credits: Music - Wario land 4: Hurry Up I did not make the original scripts for the advanced and days since 2000 timers
