How can I pause and resume NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval in swift?

Question

I\'m developing a game and I want to create a pause menu. Here is my code:

self.view?.paused = true

but NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithT

Answer 1

To Start:

timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1.0, target: self, selector: Selector("updateView"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

To Resume:

timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1.0, target: self, selector: Selector("updateView"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

To Pause:

timer.invalidate

This worked for me. The trick is that do not look for something like "timer.resume" or "timer.validate". Just use "the same code for starting a timer" to resume it after the pause.
