How, in my program, could I get it so that when the player hits the escape key to quit, a small credits screen pops up first, before they leave. I attached code, it didnt work, although it wasnt in my main loop (if that made a difference). The attached code came after the main loop.

By the way, It was just a small little dumb insignificant game I made... its supposed to be a spoof on the PS2 game called "Big Rigs" which was a terrible game. If you want to play my game go to www.t4e0.4cybiko.com/BigRigsXtreme.zip . It's version 0.9.

well first of all I believe that keystate(1) is escape, what you have there is "C". Also, im not sure but i dont think that you are allowed to use keystate(1) anyway. Just put an in-game way to get out that way you could just slip the code in at the end. And if you want them to see the credits and disable the escape key way out, just use DISABLE ESCAPEKEY and make the in-game way out easy to access.

KEYSTATE
This command will return an integer value of one if the key specified by the scancode is pressed, otherwise
zero will be returned. The scancode value is the raw value assigned to the key of the keyboard device and
very often is ordered sequentially from the top left of the keyboard to the bottom right.

SYNTAX
Return Integer=KEYSTATE(Scancode)




hope this helps

I think your problem is suspend for key so soon after key pressed

put something like this:

...

PRINT "Credits:"
Print ""
Print "Game Design: Testforechozero"
Print "Music: i burn things"
Print ""
Print "Thanks to LUE and (the original) Big Rigs!"
sync
repeat
until scancode()=0
suspend for key
end
endif
