> I’m trying to make a timer which starts by pressing a button. I’ve tried millis() but it starts counting as soon as I start the program.

:

```auto
// The duration of the timer
int timerDuration = 2000;

// The time at which we start the timer
int startTime = 0;

// Whether or not the timer was started
boolean timerStarted = false;

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  
  if (timerStarted) {
    // We subtract the current time and the time when we started the timer
    int currentDuration = millis() - startTime;
    
    fill(0);
    textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
    text(currentDuration, width / 2, height / 2);
    
    // If the event is over
    if (currentDuration > timerDuration) {
      timerStarted = false;
    }
  }
}

// When the mouse is pressed, take the current time and store it
void mousePressed() {
  startTime = millis();
  timerStarted = true;
}

```
