My code - countdown to the monsters arriving!

Thought I'd post this - the code from one of my apps. It counts down in seconds then shows a message then removes the message.

local timerCount = 20; -- how many seconds to count down
 
local textToShow = display.newText("", 10,10,'arial', 100);
 
local function clearText()
textToShow.text = '';
end
 
local function showText(someText,size,removeAfter)
textToShow.size = size;
textToShow.text = someText;
textToShow:setReferencePoint(display.CenterReferencePoint);
textToShow.x = 480/2;
textToShow.y = 320/2;
 
if(removeAfter ~= nil) then
timer.performWithDelay(1000, clearText, 1);
end
end
 
local function reduceTime()
timerCount = timerCount -1;
showText(timerCount, 200);
if(timerCount == 0) then
showText("The Monsters Are Coming!", 40, 1000); -- text, size, remove after
end
end
 
showText(timerCount,200);
 
local countDown = timer.performWithDelay(1000, reduceTime, timerCount);

Nice stuff, I'm sure it will help some people :) I see a few questions from time to time asking about this kind of thing.

Thanks for sharing!
