Count up timer

How would I go about makeing the code for a count up timer, I haven't had much (any) experence in codeing so any insite up can give would be helpful.

There is an example of a very simple count up timer in the ForLoopIteration sketch supplied as one of the examples with Arduino 0017 (look in Examples/control from the IDE file menu)

There are many different ways to do a count up timer so it will help if you give some context on what you want your sketch to do.

BTW Blaine,

Thanks for starting this thread. I've been wanting to do a project that requires a timer in the corner of the screen.... I did it once a long time ago but I didn't write it down so I can't remember what I did. I think I used VirtualDub?
