It is cases like this that really demonstrates how different growing up in a mainstream background verses a sheltered blind background can be. I've been playing games for most of my life, and in most cases when a game is paused if you press any button or action key it unpauses the game and resumes play. To me that's how things are. Then, one day I am sitting down to read e-mail and I'm getting requests saying I should use some sort of keyboard blocking that blocks all but the pause key. I'm not at all sure that's a good idea. That would mean while the game is paused no input is getting passed through to the application until the keyboard is unblocked. If the game ccrashes or something that could be a serious problem. Of course, there is a slightly better method that is instead of blocking the keyboard I rewrite most of the games functions so that if an action is performed and the game is paused it will ignore the request. This is safer than blocking the keyboard, but is A, alot of extra work, and B, different behavior than I'm personally use to. Cheers!
