Well you'd need to think. What programming structure allows you to repeat something hmmmm? Like, I want to play this game FOREVER man. /snide comments.

If your game uses a main game loop, envelop it in another loop so that it begins from the bigining? Stick a menu in there, and presto!

My advice is to remember to reset your variables to default, and stick things in procedures.


var choice : string

proc game
    loop
        put "~~~ nargles ~~~"
        exit when true % For testing purposes
        
        % Check Button status
        % exit when button = pushed
    end loop
end game

proc menu
    loop
        put "menu", skip, "  > " ..
        get choice
        case choice of
            label "yes" :
                game
            label : % Anything else quits the program
                exit
        end case
        
        % If you want to exit the game when button pushed
        % Check the status of it again and exit this loop as well
    end loop
end menu

menu

well you have a loop with your game, and put that into a procedure so you can call it at any time.  it exits when game is over.

you put that in another loop where it will only exit if you DONT want to restart the game, otherwise it will LOOP your game proc, thus restarting it.

any easier understanding set up would be:


procedure game %your game structure is inside here.
    loop
        put "You are playing the game in here"
        put "all game code/proc/fcn/etc in here"
        exit when %game is over
    end loop
end game

%%your main game loop structure works like this

loop
    %intro if you want one
    game %calls your game to play the game (will exit only when game is done)
    
    %%now lets ask to restart the game or not...
    %if answer is NO then
        exit
    %end if
    
    %otherwise what happens is we continue this loop, and it will call
    %our game to play again :) if we dont want to restart it exits this
    %loop, and our game wont be played again.
end loop

put "GAME OVER MAN, NO RESTARTS NOW!"
