So In my game, Im trying to have a winning function. When you reach a certain point( its a maze), it will display You Win. Then reset. Im trying to have a wait between the reset, because, it just flashes the text and resets. When I try adding Wait 2000 it just waits for the text too. Help!

Maybe you can use timer to do that?

You can use WAIT KEY to pause the action till the user hits a key.



Or wait for a MOUSECLICK():

or you can wrap your whole game loop inside a while/endwhile statement

i.e.

while winstate=0 (run the game loop) endwhile
while winstate=1 (run the 'you win' loop) endwhile

inside your game loop just have a line that sets winstate=1 inside your main game loop

this can then be expanded so that you can have menu screens, config screens, random info screens, credits screens etc

This is not the Sig you are looking for....

Multi Loop idea isn't bad, i use that method for ingame pause menu.So when the proper condition is fulfiled the game goes in the menu loop or whatever you want.You can reset the game in this extra loop without anything you do takes effect on screen, wait 5 seconds after this go to main loop again.Something like that.You need to figure it out for yourself.Anything else depends on your coding.
