Time limit functionality

Open zigurana opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Something to limit the gaming time when booting up the system. This will need some kind of logging of the actual in-game duration, otherwise a simple reboot would re-set the system. Also user accounts in case of more than one kid?

Priority: Someday maybe

how about using system clock as counter? lets start at the basic mode first before thinking about multi kids.

  1. countdown timer is started along with first runcommand
  2. timer is up? shutdown system + add password to start another game whenever the timer/counter is reached limit

timer condition:

  1. must be paused whenever the game exit, so the timer is not running if its only sitting at emulationstation gui
  2. able to resume the current countdown whenever the next runcommand is called
  3. resetting timer will need password
