Id like to use the return key to start the game but the game doesnt load unless i hold the key in. Id like to be able to just click it once and let it go.

[/code]IF returnkey()=1
stop sound 1
stop sound 2
stop sound 3
gosub _gameload
endif[code]

Are you sure it's not loading when you tap return?

Try tapping return with this code. It'll show how many times it GOSUBS to that label.



Now to actually only load it once you need a switch. You check for the return key and look for the switch being off (zero) then turn the switch on (one) so it's not loaded again.



You could also use the KEYSTATE() command but it works just like RETURNKEY().



You can use this as a reference of all the keystate numbers: http://mysite.verizon.net/grueslayer/Keystate.png

By the way you got the code snips backwards... / should be on the bottom.

Wait until the return key is released before doing to stop sound and gosub commands.

IF returnkey()=1

repeat: until returnkey() = 0

stop sound 1
stop sound 2
stop sound 3
gosub _gameload

endif
