Pause and Continueing a Game

fear01 · **Posted:** Tue Nov 22, 2005 5:47 pm

I have just started using turing this semester and was wondering how I could pause game motion and then continue it with two different keys. I am using the Input.Keydown command and using the keys "p" and "c" to do it, uh could anyone help out a newbie with this problem? I have tried using commands like delay and pause, but no luck. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Are you trying to pause the whole thing or just something like a timer?

code:

var chars : array char of boolean
loop
Input.KeyDown (chars)
if chars ('p') then
loop
Input.KeyDown (chars)
drawfilloval (Rand.Int (1, 1000), Rand.Int (1, 1000), 3, 3, 1)
exit when chars ('c')
end loop
end if
end loop

(' ')

should do it. Similarly, for a letter it's
('a')
('z')

If you need to know what the code for a specific key is, run KeyDown1.t in the examples/fun directory of Turing.

you could also look up an ascii table on the inet, theres so many, and i just find the one at the top of search results the most useful. turing uses this table, so just save it to your desktop or something. its invaluable to have.
