When I did a similar game, I had some boolean variable called locked or something. In the mouse receiver event handlers, I first check if the boolean variable is set or not. If it is set, I return immediately, if not, I continue as normal. You should be able to do that as well.
I should not use sleep, as that freezes the whole application. For example it does not redraw the window if it has to. /Emil 2012/2/6 tobias <[email protected]> > hi, > > > Hi All, > > > > I've made a small game called Memory for my kids in Gambas 2.22. > > > > You click one picture and make it visible, click the other and make it > > visible, when matching pictures, disable both pictures, when not > > matching make invisible again after 1 sec. > > > > This all works perfectly (at least for me).
