Godot: Show how many hours you have been working on a project

[ghost]

I think that it would be an interesting feature to display somewhere how many hours you have been working on a project. Although non-essential, it would be cool to say, "After 2 years of working on this game, I have put in 4,000 hours into it."

Of course this wouldn't track times in other programs, but it could just track how much time you have the editor open in a project.

so if i let the editor opened while going to the toilets (which happen quite frequently), i'd be able to say "After 2 years of working on this game, I have put in 4,000 hours into it and/or over the throne playing tetris".

more seriously, it's not a bad idea. Having access to this kind of stats could be interesting and fun.
Maybe we could just use an external application for that ?

It would be pretty easy to make as an editor plugin.

Someone made one: https://github.com/YeOldeDM/godot-time-tracker, it's in the AssetLib.
However it doesn't stop counting up when you alt-tab out. Does anyone know how to do that? I hoped there was some kind of signal when the window loses focus, but I haven't found anything yet.

Try to grab NOTIFICATION_WM_* in Object._notification(what): http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_mainloop.html?highlight=NOTIFICATION_WM

@akien-mga Aha! That works perfectly, thanks a lot!

@rgrams very nice plugin but display time in own panel is not good. Maybe display time after toolbar with 2D, 3D, Script....

@rgrams that works great, thanks for sharing!

[rgrams]

@mefihl Yeah, I agree so I am making my own. On the top toolbar like you said, only on the other side, next to the rainbow sound bar. :) Just have one error left to sort out.

@mefihl Here, see how you like this: https://github.com/rgrams/ross_project_timer

[mefihl]

@rgrams Super ;). Display days and hours?

[rgrams]

@mefihl Hours, minutes, and seconds. I decided not to do days, the hours just count up to hundreds, thousands, etc.

[slapin]

Well, a fancy thing but too unrealistic.

1. It won't count hours editing scripts with vi
2. It will count idle hours.

And also, there is no value in such calculation.
Will work as fetish number though.

Closing as this feature is available through the AssetLib (and that's good enough IMO).
