I'm having troubles with my game abit. I use View.Set("nooffscreenonly") to make it so you can see your text when you set the speed before the game begins. Then I switch to View.Set("offscreenonly") for my game, so I can show my other objects moving. Then I can go back to my main menu which switches back to "nooffscreenonly", but then when I re-enter the game, it stays "nooffscreenonly". I'll post up my code, help would be greatly appreicated.

Just put a View.Set ("offscreenonly") at the end of your Reset procedure.

Thanks. Plus, I was using this at school perfectly, but now I'm at home, and when I die, the message appears "Player x wins", then after 1 second it doesnt wait for an Input.Pause and resets the game! I have to keep pressing ESC quickly to try getting to the menu, and it sometimes works. Any help here?

If you're using delays in the game, you should scale them to the computer's speed.

The old-school way of doing this is asking the user how fast their computer is (and setting the delay accordingly).

A better way would be for your program to actually find out how fast the computer is - and then scale the delays to fit.

or you can just implement Time.DelaySinceLast Wink
