Graphics3D 800,600,16,2
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

SeedRnd(MilliSecs())
player=CreatePivot()
camera=CreateCamera(player)
light=CreateLight()
RotateEntity light,45,45,0
AmbientLight 48,48,48    ; was 32,32,32

EntityType camera,1
PositionEntity camera,0,90,8
RotateEntity camera,90,0,0

Global clock=LoadSprite("clock1.png",4) ; essentially a circle but I made mine cool
ScaleSprite clock,8,8
Global hand=LoadSprite("clock3.png",4) ; the hand of the clock... made an arrow
ScaleSprite hand,7,7
; ##### Both images were created as PNGs with BLACK backgrounds so they would be ignored
; by Blitz3D did that for my game


PositionEntity clock,0,0,0 ; for now pop it in the middle
PositionEntity hand,0,0,0

start=MilliSecs()+1000 ; 	get initial clock value
ang=6 ; 					get initial angle to rotate hands
While Not KeyDown(1)


UpdateWorld
RenderWorld
; note where code is... I may try to function this later
Text 0,10,""+MilliSecs()
Flip

If MilliSecs() >= start Then ; check if 1 second has passed
		RotateSprite hand,ang ; if so... rotate the hand
		ang=ang+6 ;				IF ang = ang -6 clock goes other direction
		start=MilliSecs()+1000 ; get new value for checking
EndIf

End

I hope this helps everyone else. :]
