Is there a command to freeze the screen completely?

[harishmabish]

I'm to make a game where when its "game over", it freezes everything that's in the background?
Is there a command on Turing that does this?

You should probably just make it so that the failure will cause the program to reach its end. This could be done by exiting the main loop. I don't know if there's any command that will cause the program to stop receiving any input and halt permanently, and even if there was, what you must do is reach the end.
You might want to look at:

code:

quit

It causes the run window to be destroyed though.

jumping to the end of the code (so right out of your main game loop) and finishing execution should do the trick.

When you exit a loop and do not put cls (which clear the screen) then the program will remain frozen for the game over. Here is a simple program that will freeze when you get a game over (or press q) Use the arrow keys to move.

Turing:

var movement : string (1) := "" %holds the value of what key the user enters var location_x : int := 0 %location of the square left and right (x axis) var location_y : int := 0 %location of the square up and down (y axis) %Starts program loop     drawfillbox (100 + location_x, 100 + location_y, 200 + location_x, 200 + location_y, blue) %DRaws blue box where the user moves it     exit when movement = "q" or movement = "Q"%Freezes game when q is pressed     getch (movement) %Asks for input from user     %Decides where the user moved the square     if movement = KEY_LEFT_ARROW then         location_x -= 1     elsif movement = KEY_RIGHT_ARROW then         location_x += 1     elsif movement = KEY_UP_ARROW then         location_y += 1     elsif movement = KEY_DOWN_ARROW then         location_y -= 1         end if     cls %clear the screen to move box without a tail end loop %Nothing is out side of the loop so program ends /*Putting this at the end of the if statement would do the same thing elsif movement = "q" then         return*/

If this isn't what you wanted then please provide more information.

You can use "break" but then to continue the program you have to press resume at the top of the source code screen.

Input.Pause, then you have to hit a key to resume.
