Timer Countdown in Phaser ?

[woratana]

Hello,

 

I would like to know how hard is it to make an accurate timer count down. For example, count down for 1 minute. I would also need to tell player the time left every second.

 

I have heard that setTimeout may not be accurate. What is the best way to do this?

Here is a discussion about a timer to count up with code included.  With modification, it could accomplish what you want.  There's also a built in countdown timer that will fire a callback on completion; Rich has the code for that in the above discussion.
