A counter is a numeric value that can be manipulated in [[ZZT-OOP]] using the [[Give|#give]] and [[Take|#take]] commands.

ZZT provides six counters:

* '''health''' - the [[player|player's]] health,
* '''ammo''' - the number of [[ammo|ammunition]] held by the player,
* '''gems''' - the number of [[gem|gems]] held by the player,
* '''torches''' - the number of [[torch|torches]] held by the player,
* '''score''' - the player's total score,
* '''time''' - the ''elapsed'' time on the [[board]], if the board has a time limit. Not used if the board does not have a time limit.

Other than '''time''', which is specific to the current board and reset on every entry, each counter's value is persistent throughout the entire [[world]].
