Got PICO-8 yesterday, got dared to make my first project a speedrun timer, because I'm a giant speedrunning nerd, so this happened. I guess it may be useful if someone really, really needs to lay down a speedrun somewhere but only has access to a Pocket CHIP?
Z/O starts and pause/unpauses. X splits when the timer is running and resets when it's paused. No renaming splits or saving because I did this in 20min as a silly proof of concept.
I debated for a bit going on just frame counting or using stat to pull from the OS's RTC. Decided in 99% of cases the PICO-8 should be able to hold the 60 updates per second required to keep this close to accurate. Still, don't use this as a timer for anything important B)
