Maybe take a look in the PA lib documentation. I'm pretty sure it should feature some method of getting the time but I dont know as I never used it myself. If not maybe look up gettimeofday and code your own ticker. Its a portable way to get the time, but i'm not totally sure if it will work on a DS.

As for randomisation PA lib might do that for you too if you look for it, also when using random numbers make sure to seed it something that will be variable, such as the time, otherwise it will give you the same numbers each game.
