Why aren't you thinkin' of using a counter variables (I often name it as 'unsigned char m_ucPowerLevel') to make the bomb explode when its power level reaches the limit ?
This way is very fast 'cause your object doesn't have to call GetTickCount () or somethin' like that ev'ry frame. And... It is totally accurate, think of your player has a low-speed computer. If you use any of timing function, he/she will notice that the bomb explode slower/faster.
I always use this way because it make the object more real (your bomb need time to burn itself, but time in such computer game varies between computers).
Isn't that right ?
