M1 Played Time! | ||

Ok, I cracked the time function in the terminals, and as a side effect, you can use the terminal time to determine how long you have been playing *continuously* (even across levels). <- This also means the "played clock" is not reset when you continue a saved game. Note 1: Time does not pass when viewing terminals, looking at Save dialogs, etc. Note 2: This is not an exact formula. When I said "I cracked the time function" I really meant, "I sorta have the time function figured out". To calculate how much time you have been playing: 1) Go to any terminal, view any page. Note the time string in the top right corner. (Note: the year is always 2337, so you need to guess whether you have "rolled over" to the next year.) 2) Calculate the difference between that date and 1843 08.24.2337 (1843 is HHMM) and get the answer into seconds. 3) Divide by 900. 4) The answer is how many seconds you have been playing. Example: I'm about to exit "Neither High Nor Low" and am at the exit terminal. The date reads: 0846 01.30.2337. I know the date must have rolled over to 2338, so I use that as the year. The date difference is 13705380 secs. I divide that by 900 and get 15228.2 secs played. This is about 4 hours, 14 minutes. (a full "game year" translates to about 9 and 3/4 hours) Caveats: time played *may* be affected by the Mac CPU speed. I invite others to look at this, too. |
