Hey!! I dunno how to pause the game..
heres what i wrote:



i thought this would happen:
if i press "P" the text appears, and the game pauses
until a key is pressed..

but....

this is what happens:

the game starts, i press "P" (25)
the text pops up and dissapears,
the game continues as normal,
nothing more happens,
i get mad,
i jump around,
i wounder how i shall do this,
and now i'm here...

so, i woundered.. Do u know how 2 do this?
excuse my english i may not be the best 2 spell....correct..

Well, I could not see ur coding all thanks to this forum being unable to use the snippet button in a non IX brower ( when will the guys fix it... ).

well, I wrote this for u... I dunno if works, I cannot test right now and I've not been coding for like 6 months in DB
the code may be crap and u will maybe need to set a flag later...but if even do not compiled u will get the idea. The idea of "Pause" a game is basicaly create a loop outside ur main loop. If the key P is pressed inside the main loop, will take you to another loop where nothing will happens... and will be ended when a condition is reached ( like P is pressed again u unpause ur game ). try this:

rem How to pause a game
rem by Rogue
rem make a matrix

make matrix 1,10000.0,10000.0,25,25
randomize matrix 1,50.0

rem position camera
position camera 5000,200,5000

rem main loop
do

rem Control camera with arrow keys
if leftkey()=1 then angley#=wrapvalue(angley#-2.0)
if rightkey()=1 then angley#=wrapvalue(angley#+2.0)

rem pause the game

if inkey$()="p" then gosub pause

rem Update camera
rotate camera 0,angley#,0

rem End loop
loop

pause:

do

center text 320,240,"Game Paused"
if inkey$()="p" then return

loop
