Organized_Chaos · 2008-06-02 12:56:28

Here is my code. I want the text: "PAUSED --Press O to resume" to stay on the screen for a few seconds after I push X. Or maybe stay there until I press O. Right now it only displays when I am holding down the X button. Help please?

Code:

white = Color.new(255,255,255)
yellow = Color.new(255,255,0)
green = Color.new(0,255,0)
counter = Timer.new()
counter:start()
while true do
screen:clear()
pad = Controls.read()
currentTime = counter:time()
screen:print(10,10,"Counter Time: " .. currentTime,white)
if currentTime < 1000 then
screen:print(100,100,"Less than 1000",white)
end
if currentTime > 1000 and currentTime < 2000 then
screen:print(100,100,"Greater than 1000",yellow)
end
if currentTime > 2000 then
counter:reset(0)
counter:start()
end
if pad:cross() then
counter:stop()
screen:print(75,150,"PAUSED --Press O to resume",green)
end
if pad:circle() then
counter:start()
end
        if pad:start() then
            break
            end
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

add this at the end of your code. Maybe this will help

Code:

screen.flip()
while true do
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

Leaving the screen.flip() on the outside of the "while" cmd.

Hope this help, if you didnt get it.

your code should be this

Code:

white = Color.new(255,255,255)
yellow = Color.new(255,255,0)
green = Color.new(0,255,0)
counter = Timer.new()
counter:start()
while true do
screen:clear()
screen.flip()
pad = Controls.read()
currentTime = counter:time()
screen:print(10,10,"Counter Time: " .. currentTime,white)
if currentTime < 1000 then
screen:print(100,100,"Less than 1000",white)
end
if currentTime > 1000 and currentTime < 2000 then
screen:print(100,100,"Greater than 1000",yellow)
end
if currentTime > 2000 then
counter:reset(0)
counter:start()
end
if pad:cross() then
counter:stop()
screen:print(75,150,"PAUSED --Press O to resume",green)
end
if pad:circle() then
counter:start()
end
        if pad:start() then
            break
            end
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

screen:clear() and screen.flip() need to be in the loop
