How do I use the system clock to lets say give me secs or millisecs. What I am trying to do is use the system clock to help calculate bulletdrop for a game''s engine. I need it to start at zero everytime and then go till the bullet hits x of zero. x will b the ground and y is the height of the bullet at any given time. Anyone got any ideas? Windows SUCKS! Deal with it! if(windows crashes) { run linux } else { yea right!! }

You can use timeGetTime or GetTickCount to return the number of milliseconds that have passed since Windows was booted up. Or use QueryPerformanceTimer for a more accurate solution (not everyone has a performace timer though).
