Working in the Background (counting variables)

CORE Game

I was wondering how can I make a game like "Tiny Tower" that it works in the background.
for example, I want gamesalad to count the time I was away from the game.

It should be possible somehow in GS isn't it ?

Thanks alot Tatian, it is very useful, but isn't that a bit risky ? I mean if the user changes the time of the device, then he already hacked the game!

Yep, that's the risk. I don't know that there's another way to do it, but then I haven't worked with device time much.
