Thank you so much

Thank you!

Do you know by any chance if there is such code already available? I would rather use that code instead of using a new C++ library just for the timer.

I have Googled like crazy (after trying for myself and failing) but couldn't find anything.

General / How do I pause an sf::Clock? (SFML 2.0)

Hi,

I would like to know how to pause a clock.

At the start of my program I have:

sf::Clock timer_clock;
sf::Time timer_elapsedTime = timer_clock.restart();
float timer_currentTime = 0.0f;

This is how I update the timer:

timer_elapsedTime = timer_clock.getElapsedTime();
timer_currentTime = timer_elapsedTime.asSeconds();
// (...) here I set timer_currentTime as a string but it's not relevant.

Everything is working fine.

But now I want to pause the clock when my game is in a "paused game state", but it keeps running when my game is paused. Since I haven't found out how to pause the clock, do I have to use arithmetics or something?

Please guys, I need your help. My knowledge is depleted
Thank you so much!
