Cave Story Timed Edition

Whee my first actual release!
As far as I know, everything is working perfectly, but if you find a bug not there in an unmodded copy of CS, tell me.
without further ado, i present:
CAVE STORY: TIMED EDITION
Features:
- Nikumaru Counter activated at start to time a run of the entire game instead of just Sacred Grounds
- Nikumaru Counter now counts HH:MM:SS instead of MM:SS:MS
- Saving and loading of Nikumaru times
- Optional time save/game reload on bad ending

Perfect for Cave Story Night btw
you should all download it.

Yes indeed, wat

 

see previous two posts.
also 8 downloads in about 8 hours. lol

Centiseconds, not milliseconds. Why does everyone always think they're milliseconds?

 

Because that's what people call them?

millisecond in everyday speech doesn't have a defined value. It's usually defined simply by - smaller than 1 second. But yeah you're right, in a physical context it's a mistake.

 

Because that's what people call them?

But it's like calling a centimetre a millimetre.

A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.

So if you had a timer displaying minutes/seconds/milliseconds, it would need 3 digits for milliseconds.

2 digits after seconds means centiseconds (or hundredths if you prefer).

 

Without everything being measured in kiloseconds, I wouldn't make too much fuss about it.

 

yeah yeah i know it's technically 1/100th of a second or a centisecond
but how many other random people off the street do?
i'd rather use the slightly off target term that everyone gets instead of the scientifically correct prefix that leaves a bunch of people confused as to what they're actually looking at

In fact, the normal Nikamaru Counter isn't either. It's tenths.

 

I thought milliseconds weren't 1/1000th of a second. I'm not sure at this moment, but I thought it was something else.
Oh, wait, I might be thinking of nanoseconds.

...Wow. I was WAY off.

 

and then there's the difference between actual binary bits and bytes vs. how we refer to them in everyday life
everyday life refers to the table above.
binary multiplies by 2, so a true megabyte is 1024 KB, not 1000.

Well, except if you're a cheapo manufacturer who wants to claim "1 GB" without actually having 2^30 bytes, and instead uses 10^9.

 

cheap or stupid. besides, that wouldn't work because sectors, and all sorts of other standards and requisites in how hard drives do/are supposed to work.
