[tky]

Just use a TTimer or please be more specific with your question.

Yes

Sorry...i am the beginner
i don't know what Tobject is.
Can Pascal do this!? i'm not using Delphi.

Program test;
Uses Crt;

procedure timer(d:integer;var t:byte);
Var i:Byte;  {0..255}
Begin
         Dec(t);{decrease value of 'i' by 1}
         Delay(d); {waiting d millisec}

End;

var time:byte;
begin
time:=60;
repeat
 clrscr;
    writeln('Time: ',time );
    timer(1000,time);
until time=0;

end.

Can i use above code add into the game ?

No you would check against real time in game loop, not use delay doing nothing.
