# ** Better Game Timer
# By: ashes999 (ashes999@yahoo.com)
# Version: 0.1
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Description:
#
# -- Some extensions to make the timer a bit more useful and friendly.
# -- Original methods by Tsukihime (to add/lose time and pause/resume)
# -- You can also make the game time recolour if time is under some value (eg. 30s)
# -- via the CRITICAL_TIME_SECONDS constant.
# -- Finally, the timer pauses when message boxes, choices, etc. are visible.
# -- Author: ashes999 (ashes999@yahoo.com)
# -- Version 1.0

# Examples:
# $game_timer.add_time(20) # adds 20 seconds
# $game_timer.lose_time(15) # subtract 15 seconds
# $game_timer.pause
# $game_timer.resume
#========================================================================

# If remaining time is less than this many seconds, turn red. To disable, set to 0.
CRITICAL_TIME_SECONDS = 5

# End configuration

class Game_Timer

alias timer_plus_update update
def update
if !@pause
timer_plus_update unless $game_message.visible
end
end

# add more time, in seconds
def add_time(count)
@count += count * Graphics.frame_rate
end

# subtract time, in seconds
def lose_time(count)
@count = [@count - (count * Graphics.frame_rate), 0].max
end

def pause
@pause = true
end

def resume
@pause = false

# ** Sprite_Timer
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This sprite is for timer displays. It monitors $game_timer and automatically
# changes sprite states.
