Working in the Background (counting variables)

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 ?

    There are various threads discussing this, for example: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/41709/game-that-runs-in-real-time

    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.
