I'm looking to add a rewards system to my game, where after an hour or so, the player will get a random reward.

So if the player starts the game, plays for 5 mins and closes it, then comes back after an hour, it would register as an hour and 5 mins....not just 5 mins.

I am currently having trouble with setting up a timer to do this, as the timer doesn't tick once the app is closed.

Any suggestions?

Please help. Thanks.

Store the system time before closing the game, check the time again when you re-start it. Then compare the two.

Could you explain how to store system time please?

Also, what do I compare it with? The current system time? Wouldn't that be specific? Because this event needs to happen every 1 hour.

Can someone please show me how?
