hi there,

i am new in javascript,

i am following the w3schools tutorials for making a game

to be specific this tutorial http://www.w3schools.com/games/tryit.asp?filename=trygame_gravity_game

 

but i need help to add a pause function ,

 

i have tried a few things but nothing.

i dont know if i have to add Time and loop, or if this can be done only with Frame No.

Thank you

Add a property "paused" to myGameArea

myGameArea = {
  paused : false,

Create a function that should be called by the pause button:

function pause() {
  myGameArea.paused = !myGameArea.paused;
}

In the updateGameArea() function, do nothing if the game is paused:

function updateGameArea() {
    var x, height, gap, minHeight, maxHeight, minGap, maxGap;
    if(myGameArea.paused) {
      return;
    }

How and when the pause() function is called is up to you.

 

Games are very complex programs, if you're new to Javascript you probably do not have enough experience yet to solve the kind of problems that games provide.
