Exiting A Procedure

[Abdiwahab]

I have a game running in a loop in one procedure and if the user clicks on a box it goes to procedure mainMenu...but the loop is still running and all the mainMenu does is sit there like an image Is their any way to full exit a procedure?

recursion...

code:

proc menu      if speed selected then            call speed_adjust proc      elsif username change then            call username proc       end if       if menu isnt exited then           menu %% recalls the menu      elsif menu is exited then           back to where you go      end if end menu loop     game stuff here     if key = menu then         call menu proc     end if end loop

thats just theory, seems logical, i would try it!

although TokenHerbz idea maybe better and more sophisticated
but how bout you have a cls before each proc starts and a cls before you draw ur menu
simple no?

That is a poor example of where to use recursion. A situation like this just requires planning of how your are going to make your loop. Pay attention to scope and where your exit statements are. If you are using Turing's GUI make sure you are using the ProcessEvent funtion and Quit procedure correctly.

Do not use recursion in a situation like this. It only decreases the robustness of your program.

Look into return
