Unity - Simple second counter C# Tutorial

Let's get some games development for Unity 3D beginners, on this small tutorial I'll show you how to display a simple seconds timer for your Unity game.

Tried searching for a simple code to display seconds counter but there are nothing, here is one for sharing, the code bellow update the _textMesh with the seconds.

Second counter code:

public TextMesh _textMesh;
public float timer;
public int seconds;
private void update() {
  timer += Time.deltaTime * 10;
  seconds = Convert.ToInt32 (timer);
  _textMesh.text = seconds.ToString();
}

If you need a count down counter just do some changes as bellow:

public TextMesh _textMesh;
public float time;
public int seconds;
private void update() {
time -= Time.deltaTime * 10;
seconds = Convert.ToInt32 (time);
_textMesh.text = seconds.ToString();
if (seconds <= 0)
// do somthing here..
}

And if you need any more help, just leave a comment.
