Say you were using a C++ class like this: (The Logic::Time one)
Logic::Time now = Logic::Time::Now();
Logic::Time then(1000); // 1000ms in the future
std::cout << "Now: " << now.getMs() << std::endl;
std::cout << "Until: " << then.getMs() << std::endl;
for(int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
std::cout << then.getMs() << std::endl;
sleep(1);
}and it output this: ( every line after the first two is output every second actually it clearly isn't) Now: 0
Until: 990
987
901
688
445
195
-59
-293
-459
-5711) Is this what would you expect if you were using this object? What would your first opinion of it be? 2) If not, what would you call this? EDIT: I suppose changing the getMs() method to getMsDiff() or something would make it clearer. Though its not really a difference...

I'd want to know how 1000ms = 990ms! :/

It took 10ms to get to that point. (It is also likely that its being rounded) I noticed a huge bug with that, I was dividing and multiplying by 100 instead of 1000. Its pretty much sorted now, I only posted this because Tobias was complaining it made no sense =P What this was/is supposed to do: You create a time in the future Calling getMs() on it will get the ms since that time. If before, it will be negative Its for timing/scheduling things in a game we're making.
