Hi, beginner at DarkBasic Pro here, used a 3D maze as part of my developing computer game assignment and I need to implement a pause and restart button into my game.

Unsure how to do this, any help would be appreciated

+ Code Snippet

do
`normal game stuff here

if returnkey() = 1
   gosub pause_menu
endif

sync

loop

pause_menu:
repeat
`pause menu stuff
sync
until returnkey()=1
return

Something like that maybe?

+ Code Snippet

do
----
if keystate(110)=1 then gosub pausegame `escape key
----
loop
pausegame:

do
sprite mousesprite,mousex(),mousey(),mouseimage
if mouseclick()=1
   if sprite collision(mouse,resumebutton)
       return
   endif
   if sprite collision(mousesprite,restartbutton) 
        goto startgame
   endif
   if sprite collision(mousesprite,optionsbutton)
       gosub ingameoptions
   endif
   if sprite collision(mousesprite,quitbutton)
       goto startmenu
   endif
endif
loop

end

....that's the most straightforward idea I can think of at this time

I need a new Avatar

You need to make a list of variables that need to be restarted when the button is pressed.Like your maze object`s position, variable that hold time passed since the begining and stuff like that.You need to be sure you didn`t missed something, then you can make your restart button and add functionality to it.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am
