Hello guys! Well, after posting to that Win XP Thread (you all know which one I hope), I decided to do start on porting what I have of my game so far from Windows to Linux (the idea is to have both versions at the same time by developing both at the same time). Anyway, I found a problem, and that is, there seems to be no timeGetTime or GetTickCount function in linux, I mean, sure there must be one, but is not called eighter one of those names, does anyone know what the function is? I have tried the manual (man) with no results, any help will be apressiated Thanks.

Here''s how the SDL does it (gotta love open source):

  static struct timeval start;void SDL_StartTicks(void){	/* Set first ticks value */	gettimeofday(&start, NULL);}Uint32 SDL_GetTicks (void){	struct timeval now;	Uint32 ticks;	gettimeofday(&now, NULL);	ticks=(now.tv_sec-start.tv_sec)*1000+(now.tv_usec-start.tv_usec)/1000;	return(ticks);}  

Just rewrite that for yourself (i.e. remove the SDL stuff, et cetera). You should include the following: sys/time.h and unistd.h. I''m not sure if you need to link to any libraries, but I''d guess that you probably don''t.

To add to the above - man gettimeofday.
