NOOOOOOOOO. It will do the same love.timer.sleep is, which is actually included by default too, and it will cause the entirety of the game to stop, no drawing, no updating, no events. So this is not a solution.miko wrote: you could use socket.sleep().
Code: Select all
-- in player.lua
pauseCooldown = 60 -- so the pause button actually works, we wait a while to make sure of this
-- many code and functions later...
-- in input.lua
function checkPauseKey()
if love.keyboard.isDown("p") and pauseCooldown >= 60 then -- check if we can "press 'p'" again
if isPaused == false then
isPaused = true -- this flag stops the main game rendering and logic
else
isPaused = false -- this flag unfreezes game rendering and logic
end
pauseCooldown = 0 -- set the cooldown to 0
end
if pauseCooldown < 60 then -- if not cooled down completely
pauseCooldown = pauseCooldown + 1 -- then we increment the cooldown timer up one tic

isPaused = not isPausedAh! I was not familiar with the not keyword! Does it basically act like !varName does in C++?Robin wrote:Good example.
How about:Code: Select all
if isPaused == false then isPaused = true -- this flag stops the main game rendering and logic else isPaused = false -- this flag unfreezes game rendering and logic end
?Code: Select all
isPaused = not isPaused
Oh dear, well you'll certainly need it. (Although you could use condition == false, but that gets ugly).TheKraigose wrote:I was not familiar with the not keyword!
