System Time Functions

There are several functions available in WCM C++ to retrieve the current system time. These functions have nothing to do with time in your cartoon. They were implemented mostly for illustration purposes. You will find functions to deal with time in your cartoon in the next section.

// retrieve time in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970

int iTime = GetUTCTime ()


// retrieve current UTC hour, you must pass

// a value received from GetUTCTime

int iHour = GetUTCHour ( iTime );


// retrieve current UTC minute, you must pass

// a value received from GetUTCTime

int iMinute = GetUTCMinute ( iTime );


// retrieve current UTC second, you must pass

// a value received from GetUTCTime

int iSecond = GetUTCSecond ( iTime );

It is important to realize that these functions are evaluated at the time the program is compiled. Once the cartoon is compiled, the time values are fixed to the time that the cartoon was compiled.
