i wanna add a timer to my ping pong game, so that every 30 seconds the players paddle will be halved in sized (to add more of a challange to the game). is there any way to do this? i allready know how to divide the paddle by two, so i only need to add the timer.

Timing and advanced timers SDL tutorials. Lazy Foo' of course. :)

Just use int startTicks = SDL_GetTicks() and then doy our stuff before using endTicks = SDL_GetTicks() - startTicks;
endTicks will have the milliseconds between when you set startTicks and when you set endTicks.
^The tutorial above has it all^
I recommend you read all of Lazy's tutorials (apart from OpenGL and stuff).

kinda like how you would limit the FPS in your game?
