stopclock.h/.cpp

I made this for my other projects on the 13th (September). What it does is stops the message for specified time. Default is 3 seconds. NOTE: you need both .cpp and .h for this to work. Please leave the comments in it.

void StopClock()
{
int seconds = 1;
#ifdef WIN32
Sleep(seconds*3000); // Change the 3000 to whatever you want (hint: 3000 == 3 seconds)
#else
sleep(seconds);
#endif
}

I know it’s really simple. But it works.

To use the function in your code put

StopClock();

When you want to freeze time.

If you have any name suggestions for me, please let me know.
