Well this is kind of a recursion question only do you not call the same function let me explain:
i coded a menu and if you press on the new button it calls the function gameloop(). This function calls menu again when it ends, so it doesn't return to the menu. Same with the highscore button it calls displayhigh() and if you press oke in that window it calls a new menu.
So will this create a lot of overhead and should i recode it or is it doable this way?

Congratulations! You have managed to code a 'goto' using just functions.

Seriously though, why not just return to the menu when you game ends instead of calling the menu? If you join a team (or they join you) no-one will thank you for writing spaghetti code like that.

yeah i think it became like this because i decided to use functions in the mids of the program (thats never good but it got bigger than i thought)
but i actaully allready started to change it :p and just asked this question to know how "big" yer recursion calls can get in dbp

hehe guess i ll have to think before i begin on my next game :p. But i never thought i was gonna make it so large, but seems i just wanted to try as much as possible in this one :s
