Continue, a main menu feature (iTGB)

by rennie moffat · in iTorque 2D · 04/27/2010 (8:42 am) · 2 replies

I want to build a "continue" feature in my game. Thus I need to set up a global variable that will be triggered, set when the game is exited. This will be easy enough I think when a user hits my "exit game" button. but what about when the user hits the actual devices "exit" button? (iPhone, iPod etc). I have seen many games do this, but I am not sure how/if i can record my current level, sceneGraph etc if this button is hit.

Any insight?

Thanks.

    Rennie, I think you need to look at these (I didn't use them in the end so can't offer anymore info):

    //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Handles the iphone application system event.

function oniPhoneResignActive() {
	$timeScale = 0;
}

function oniPhoneBecomeActive() {
	$timeScale = 1;
}

function oniPhoneWillTerminate() {
}

    timeScale. I use that for pause.

    anyhow, I posted the same thread in the TGB forum and am getting some good help there.
    Thanks.
