Windows problems (not microsoft windows)

-----------------------------------

Here are some of the procedures i have. If i change the order, they won't work.

open new window called mainWin

procedure menu
Menu stuff
end menu

procedure winWindow
Opens a new window after user wins a game of connect 4
[After user presses key, should close itself AND the game screen then run menu]
end winWindow

procedure redWon
Displays some text that player red won
calls winWindow
end redWon

procedure blueWon
Displays text that player blue won
calls winWindow
end blueWon

procedure check
if 4 in a row for red then
calls redWon
if 4 in a row for blue then
calls blueWon
end check

procedure dropBall
if playerTurn = 1 then
animate falling ball red
calls check
else
animate falling ball blue
calls check
end dropBall

procedure arrowControl
controls arrow movement
end arrowControl

procedure drawDisplay
opens new window for game screen
draws the connect 4 board
calls arrowControl
end drawDisplay

When the winWindow opens up, I can succesfuly close it, but the gameScreen is still running, so whatever new window i set active, all output will go to it. Meaning that the game will still run, but in a diferent window. Any ideas on how to fix this? I submitted by code incase you need to look it over.

well it's not enough to just close the window, you need to actually stop the game loop..

just because you can't see the program's output, doesn't mean it is not there :wink: 

so do whatever you have to - exits, flags, etc.. If you need a quick fix, just stick a delay(60000) and you'll have 60 seconds to convince your teacher that everything is perfect :lol:
