Feature request: Pause game

[fwtep]

I spend a crazy amount of time (days) trying to get my games to pause properly on Android. They pause just fine with the Question & Answer object, but not if the app is minimized, because when you bring it back up, the pop-up is still there but the game is active behind it. My games always seem to have issues with the various sorts of work-arounds (such as stopping all motion and animation). And for sound, while Pause All Sounds does what it says, the sounds resume all by themselves when the app is brought back up.

Is it possible to get a Pause that works?

did you try to use "pause and resume when any key is pressed" it will resume when you tap on the screen.

[fwtep]

Yeah. When you come back to the game from having minimized it (or whatever the mobile equivalent of that is), the game starts right away.

Hi ,

i used a flag on/off option to make a pause button for my android game.

basicly when you tap on the pause button flag 1 is on and all movement and animations stop
when you tap again it goes off and movement and animations start again.

Yeah. When you come back to the game from having minimized it (or whatever the mobile equivalent of that is), the game starts right away.

i will see if i can add an internal flag to not resume if you were on pause from application.
