How do I create a countdown timer

Hi can any body help me
I want to create a simple 3d maze game.I understand how to create the maze,models,textures & lighting.
the player needs to successfully navigate through the maze before the timer gets to zero.
It's the code that i cannot figure out
1/a timer that counts down when you begin the maze and can be seen on screen
2/if timer reaches 0 and you have not completed maze goes back to start screen
3/ if reach end of maze before 0 then you can load a more complex maze
4/ pickups to maybe increase time or add more options which also are displayed on screen

now you can do something when the timer hits zero,
you can show something like a game over screen or go back to start screen using:
Canvas.setContent(yourGameOverScreen);
