Amigo X-Timer 1.01

This timer application was developed to enhance the auditory experience during gameplay of the cooperative real-time board game “X-Code.” It functions as a replacement for the in-box sand timer, providing a more precise and engaging timing mechanism. Players have a strict three-minute window to complete their mission of safeguarding computer systems from a virus, with authentic sound effects designed to heighten the tension and immersion.

Advantages

• Compared to the traditional sand timer, this digital version boasts second-by-second accuracy, ensuring precise time management.
• The sound effects serve as real-time indicators, alerting players as they approach the end of their allotted time.
• An “explosion” sound is triggered if time expires, adding a dramatic emphasis to the game's climax.

Additional Feature

• Advanced players have the option to select the “Mission Red” mode, introducing an extra layer of challenge and complexity.
