This timer will fire a  Hello  alertbox after 30 seconds  However  everytime you click the reset timer button it clears the timerHandle then re-sets it again  Once it s fired  the game ends    lt script type  text javascript  gt      var timerHandle   setTimeout  alert  Hello    3000       function resetTimer             window clearTimeout timerHandle           timerHandle   setTimeout  alert  Hello    3000          lt  script gt    lt body gt       lt button onclick  resetTimer    gt Reset Timer lt  button gt   lt  body gt

clearTimeout   and feed the reference of the setTimeout  which will be a number  Then re-invoke it   var initial   function invocation         alert  invoked       initial   window setTimeout       function             document body style backgroundColor    black         5000      invocation     document body onclick   function         alert  stopped       clearTimeout  initial          re-invoke invocation       In this example  if you don t click on the body element in 5 seconds the background color will be black   Reference     https   developer mozilla org en DOM window clearTimeout https   developer mozilla org En Window setTimeout   Note  setTimeout and clearTimeout are not ECMAScript native methods  but Javascript methods of the global window namespace

You can store a reference to that timeout  and then call clearTimeout on that reference      in the example above  assign the result var timeoutHandle   window setTimeout           in your click function  call clearTimeout window clearTimeout timeoutHandle       then call setTimeout again to reset the timer timeoutHandle   window setTimeout
