to handle buttonClick
  system s_GameTime
  s_GameTime = 60  -- set the clock to 60 seconds
  get timerCapability()
  if it is null
    break
  end
  get timerStart("periodic",1000,1000,self)
  timerID of self = it
end

to handle timernotify TimerID
  system s_GameTime
  if s_GameTime > 0
    decrement s_GameTime
    put s_GameTime into text of field TimeDisplay -- your display field
  else
    get timerStop(TimerID of self)
    clear timerID of self
    request "You have run out of time."
  end
end
