Getting current time in milliseconds Cocos2d

Question

I\'ve tried to google around but I still can\'t find the best answer.

All I want is very simple, I just want to get the current time in milliseconds.

How can

Answer 1

To get only milliseconds

NSDate* date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter* formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"ss"];

NSString* str = [formatter stringFromDate:date];

float seconds = str.intValue;

float miliSeconds = seconds / 1000; // HERE is your answer

If you want to get full time format replace

[formatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm:ss"];
