How To Make A Countup Timer!

Decided to make a very simple guide for fun. I know this isn’t like ground breaking info but for anyone who needs it here it is!
Someone else needed it so that was the main reason I made this.
It should add +1 to the counter every 1 second.

Oh repeaters… Poor memory bar.

Yeah, I mean like unless for some reason you’d have to make multiple of these, I think it should be fine. Repeater was like the first device that came to my mind when making this

Rating tiem.

(Yes it’s for funnies so is mispelling time)

Quality

6/10.
You have pictures, but do you have explanations as to why those pictures are there or apply to your guide? Some people can’t load these (which might be their problem) but still will be able to read the text.

Understandability

7/10.
You have pictures (previous point), but some people might not understand. Besides, people from other countries may speak and write/type a foreign language, and they can’t translate pictures.

Originality

0/10.
This is very easy and beginners may figure this out on their own, AND there are multiple guides on how to make one (and plenty of posts). You may want to consider something else.

Usage

5/10.
People do already have the game’s timer and can track that with blocks, but this is an easier way to make things with. However, it doesn’t apply to much.

Method/Process

4/10.
You could have made this so much better by saving memory. Yes, the rep~ bleh device is easier to understand, but it costs 500 memory, half a percentage on the memory bar. You are new to Gimkit, but please do learn about memory saving.

Overall

24/50.
This could be seen as a beginner’s guide, however I wouldn’t quite put the gimkit-beginners tag on this yet.

Just to clarify, this is constructive criticism. I’m trying to help.

You can infer what’s in the rubric by analyzing the points I made and strive to better structure your guides.

(Reading the edit earlier you could have told them to search before they post)

Tysm for the feedback! I’ll make sure to work on this next time and learn from this. I don’t really make guides so I saw this as an opportunity just to try it out. But again, thanks!
Also I’m not really new, I’m just bad at this stuff sometimes

Maybe add a poll at the bottom so people can rate the difficulty :slight_smile:
Otherwise, good guide!
