Hey, I know that some of you have made games with pausing systems that work with a key to pause the game.

How does that work? How do you do it?

I wanted to implement it in uPong and was wondering how.

Thanks much!

If getkey(Y)
Repeat getkey(X)
End:End

?

If getKey(9)
Repeat getKey(9)
End:End
For the ENTER Key... I have to try it yet, thanks.


EDIT: It doesn't work, probably it is only getting the getKey, no actualing stopping the game.

don't do it with the same key ( it will directly exit from the loop )

try it

Code: [Select]

If getkey(9)
While getkey-9
End:End

That works more or less :S It pauses the game, but when I put it back on, it only lasts 1 second and then is paused again :S

This is what I do -

While getkey(0)
    Dispgraph[r]
End

Repeat getKey(0)
    Dispgraph[r]
End



I use APD command for the "pause"

Me:

Repeat getkey-9
Dispgraph^rr
End

You don't really need anything more complicated.

@Deep_Thought: Me too.

@Michael_Lee: Yours works perfectly! Thank you very much. +1

you can also make a teacher key by doing this if you don't have greyscale for the second method in parentheses.
If getkey(X)
Repeat getkey(X) and getkey(Y)
(Here you can set the contrast to 0 or do this)
