# This is our main "Actor" (like a Player or a Prop).
# It holds the logic for our timer.
PanicTimerLogic := class(creative_device):

    # 1. BINDINGS: Connect this script to the devices in your level.
    # Think of this as plugging a cable from the Timer Device into our script.
    @editable
    TimerDevice: timer_device = timer_device{}

    # 2. BINDINGS: Connect to the HUD Message Device that shows our countdown.
    # We use a hud_message_device because Verse cannot directly bind to a
    # widget text-block at runtime; the hud_message_device is the supported
    # path for displaying updating text to all players.
    # note: If your project uses a custom widget, drive it from a Verse
    #       `button_device` or `hud_message_device` as shown here.
    @editable
    HUDMessage: hud_message_device = hud_message_device{}

    # 3. VARIABLES: The "Health Bar" of our logic.
    # This holds the current time. It changes every second.
    var CurrentTime: float = 0.0

    # 4. CONSTANTS: The "Rules of the Game."
