Not an answer to all your questions, but concerning the keys:

  • have your playGame appState have a playGameListener.

  • when playGame appState is enabled, it should enable the playGame keys (have the listener class do that)

  • when playGame appState is disabled, it should disable the playGame keys

  • have a pause appState with a pauseGameListener

  • when pause appState is enabled, it should enable the stop pause key

  • when playGame appState is disabled, it should disable the stop pause key

When you want to pause:

  • you disable playGame appState
  • you enable pause appState

When you want to return to playing the game:

  • you disable the pause appState
  • you enable the playGame appState

The idea is to have the app states take care of their keys, visuals (nifty etc), etc.

It also overrides stateAttached and stateDetached… this is something you should normally NEVER do. That demo is really pretty broken.

Heheh… yours is much more noticeable than the one I added last week. Mine is lower down in the text… I guess proving that no one reads the text. :slight_smile:

Yep, we now have it in yellow, in title and in main text - so hopefully people should see at least one of them now :slight_smile:

When an appState is enabled, it should, for each key:

  • inputManager.addMapping(…
  • inputManager.addListener(…
    When disabled, it should, for each key:
  • inputManager.deleteMapping(…

Ideally, have a method do that in a listener class, one per appState and have the appState call that method when it is enabled/disabled (like I described up there)
