Hi Trouble, Some day when I no longer have any ideas for new games to work on and have nothing better to do, I might then go back and up date everyone of my games to use all of the new programming techniques that I have learned over the years. But when I play the games now they all run bug

Hi Gary, Ok, I will look into fixing just the alt key thing in Monopoly right after I get done what I am working on right now. There is no way that I could write a function for all of my games that would give them a pause feature that would just trap all keys except for the key to un pause

Hi Gary, Well, there is no way to create a function that will work with all the games unless he edits them all by hand coding it 25 or 26 times. I can understand where he is coming from not wanting to update 26 games at once perhaps put it in the todo file for each game under consideration for

Hi Gary, Lol! Yeah, big crash. Though, it is very true. The older a program gets it needs to be updated if the developer wishes it to remain with current technology trends. Though, we have been down this road before and I don't have any plans of venturing down it again. Gary Whittington

Hi Thomas, Yeah, I do understand people wanting to multi task or be able to alt tab in and out of games. Especially like when they are playing them in the chat rooms. The thing was that I did not know how to handle the alt f4 thing, so just trapped the alt key. I now know how to handle the

Hi Thomas, Yeah, like you I shut down everything else while playing a game. I mean even though Monopoly is not like Mach 1, Pong, Shades of Doom or other live action games I am playing a game and that is what I am doing. Guess I'm not used to so much multi-tasking like others are. BFN

Hi Alex, May I suggest, if you need to do something else during a game, use the save game feature and come back to the game later. My games do not like it if you use alt f4 to close the game. I did not know how to solve that problem, so I trapped the alt key. Actually made it an egg. It

Hi Alex, Yes, I have seen that issue with some of Jim's games. Not exactly sure what is up with that, but when playing his games it is best to play them when you aren't going to be alt+tabbing through a bunch of apps. alex wallis wrote: Hi list. Ok i'm running the latest version of jim
