Minute/Second Countdown timer

I forgot about making this, I made it on finals day in one of my classes where we didn't have a final :P

::TIMER
:Input "Minutes: ",K
:Lbl RP
:Input "Seconds: ",L
:If L<0 or L>59:Then
:Disp "Valid Rng: 0-59"
:Goto RP
:End
:setTime(0,0,0
:ClrDraw
:getTime→L1
:
:
:While L>‾1
:getTime→L2
:If L1(3)≠L2(3):Then
:L-1→L
:getTime→L1
:Text(1,1,"          "
:End
:getTime→L2
:If L<1:Then
:K-1→K
:getTime→L1
:59→L
:‾47→W
:ClrDraw
:End
:If L<10:Then
:Text(‾1,1,1,"              "
:End
:Text(‾1,1,1,K
:Text(‾1,1,16,":
:Text(‾1,1,20,L
:End

I'd not reset the time of the calculator, I'd rather use the built-in timer (time commands don't work on 83 so that it isn't a compatibility issue) because then you can get the time with SetTimer and CheckTimer (sth. like that) and you don't mess the calculator's time settings. Or you could store the time to a list and then use the difference for getting the time.

Actually boringness in mathematics was the reason why I started coding! The teacher showed us how to program for the 84 and I found it boring, but one year later (I don't remember well) I started coding again during the class and then found this page :D

You know, it would be great if some deep asm code could harness the countdown timer on the calculator's automatic sleep mode to make a truly accurate timer…

The man shuddered as the shadow drew a glistening sword from his back. Creeping closer and closer with his pale eyes burning into the man, the shadow slowly raised his blade and before he could thrust it down, the man heard the shadow hiss something.
"The Shadow Clan's presence must be like a whisper. Always felt, but never seen…"

…as I noted in a previous post :P I'm sure there's probably a way to do it, or at least harness that same thing that makes that timer work. As far as I know though, it hasn't been implemented yet though. Xeda could probably do it :)

Hey, there is something wrong with your program. When I programmed it and executed it, when it reached 0, it did not stop! (0:00…-1:59…) And, When it went to 1:02, It jumped to showing 0:59. I am a Master with Texas instruments, but your program has a few problems it could use some fixing.
