When an event more precisely a mouse button is released the state of the counter changes. This determines the following actions:

  • Update the time counters

  • Update the move counters

When a mouse event occurs the first time after enabling the start mode, it determines the mouse button for each player, knowing that the Blacks must push the button at first. It set the newsate of each counter accorging to the mouse button pressed, and after that, it gets a timestamp for calling the methode cntupdate.

Initialization of the program to begin the counting mode.

stop

This routines halt counters , necessary if one player receive a phone call in a friendly situation ;=) or in some case, when people need that an arbiter comes.
