Hi,

Thanks for your help!

I came up with this, but it's not work properly?

<img src="http://16bitsoft.com/V2/Files/RocksInSpace/Images/MyPauseIsNotWorking-01.png" border="0" />

When I press "p" key on keyboard it make one sound and then it does nothing?

What did I do wrong?

Thanks!

JeZ+Lee

When you press "p" make System -> Set time scale to 0 (that pauses the game)

Thats it. Setting it back to 1.0 resumes your game.i,

Ok, I understand that.

I would also like to display "PAUSED" text when game is paused.

I've setup a "PAUSED" text, set it to be invisible at game start,

and gave it a variable "GameIsPaused" which is set initially to false.

How would I toggle the display of above "PAUSED" text?

Thanks!

<font size="5">Best Method To Implement Pause?</font>

Hi,

What is the best method to implement a pause system?

Would like the game to toggle pause when "p" is pressed on the keyboard.

I know how to read the keyboard, just don't know what to do after that.

Everything should stop when pause is enabled.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

<font size="5">"Construct 2" Is Better Than "GameMaker: Studio"</font>

Hi,

Just wanted to say thank you to the SCIRRA "Construct 2" team!

I payed over $500 for "GameMaker: Studio" a few months ago.

After several months of tearing out hair from my scalp

I gave up and looked for something much better than "GM:S".

Googling gave no viable results for a replacement to "GM:S".

I recently received a gift card for GameStop and bought a Valve Steam game.

I loaded up Steam to download the new game that I bought

and saw "Construct 2" in the new releases tab.

Did some research on this new "Construct 2" game making IDE.

Most reviews on the Internet were positive so I went ahead and bought "C2".

After about a week using "Construct 2" I must say

it was the best $120 dollars I have spent recently.

I've written my own C++ and HTML5 2D game engines before

from the ground up(100's of pages of typed source code).

The previous games are fairly good, but I always felt I could make something better.

I feel I am a great game designer with below average programming abilities.

I've done in a week with "C2" what would have been impossible before.

I'm making one of my favorite classic arcade games: 1980's "Asteroids".

You can check out my very 1st video game creation with "Construct 2" here:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/topic63317.html

It's a work in progress and progress is going at a remarkable pace.

So, thank you again for making this incredible game making IDE!

It allows me to do what I enjoy most which is game creation

and NOT writing 1,000's of lines of source code which is boring & time consuming...
