How do you restart a game in turing after you have shown them that you have lost or won

[ZZK]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Trying to get a restart option in my hangman game


What is the problem you are having?
I dont know how to have a restart button



Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

You could put the whole thing in a loop.
In the end, ask if you want to play again.
If player says yes, end if
If player says no, exit loop.

Turing:

loop %main program here %program has ended var playagain:string (1) put "Enter y to restart game or enter any other key to quit." getch (playagain) if playagain = "y" then end if else exit loop end if end loop

Above is a basic example (may have syntax errors tho).

If you're using procedures and functions, just have a procedure for your "main game', and then your actual 'main' procedure.

In that main procedure, create a loop. To run the game, just call the "main game" procedure. When that procedure ends, ask them if they want to play again. If not, you just stop the loop, and boom, you're done. Otherwise, it'll run the procedure "main game" once again.

Kharybdis has a good and efficient point.

Heres a way to reset your program, I made these two files so you can try it out.

Save this file as Circle.t and then generate an executable of it.

Turing:

var winOne : int := Window.Open ("Graphics,Offscreenonly,NoButtonBar") Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2, maxy div 2, maxy div 2, maxy div 2, red) View.Update delay (1000) var f : int open : f, "Reset.txt", put put : f, "There is a line here" close : f Window.Close (winOne)

This file is going to run the Circle program.

Turing:

var window : int := Window.Open ("Graphics,Offscreenonly,NoButtonBar") var playCircle : boolean := true for i : 0 .. 3     loop         if playCircle then             if Sys.Exec ("Circle.exe") then                 Window.Hide (window)                 put "running program"                 playCircle := false             end if         else             if File.Exists ("Reset.txt") then                 Window.Show (window)                 put "program Finished."                 File.Delete ("Reset.txt")                 if Error.Last = eNoError then                     put skip, "Reset.txt deleted"                 else                     put "could not delete Reset.txt"                 end if                 playCircle := true                 exit             end if         end if     end loop end for Window.Close (window)

So just make the file that will load the game the 'main menu' and then have your main menu start the game.

you can do this in alot of ways, Im just showing you how there are alot of options for how to do this and opening your mind to new Ideas.

hey, wondering how to restart by pressing a GUI button instead of imputing a letter such as "y" thanks

[Insectoid]

It's the same concept. If you understand how to use the GUI, this tutorial should be adequate help.
