Re: timer functionality.......need ur help

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

There is a setTimeout function in javascript that is sort of like a one-time
timer. I have found this to be an excellent resource on javascript

tons of other examples on the web as well.

As an aside, would anyone want to play this? It's all completely random with
no user interaction required...
