Just make sure that you reset any variables that you're using.

Also be sure to delete ALL of your game objects, images, sounds and textures so that when you use "gosub start", you won't get an "object/image/sound already exists" error. Good luck!

Or put "start:" after your object/image/sound loading code

EDIT:
Normally I put all my setup stuff in a sub-routine called "setup:" and call it once before the game loop, that way I can run my game as many times as I like without having to re-load.

Oh my God. In my three years of programming with DarkBASIC, I've never thought of doing it that way. Guess ya' learn something new everyday!

Heh, and I'm trying to start a DBP resource blog too...maybe I shouldn't.

I seem to learn something every time I look at a new post!

One further point is that if you run your game fullscreen exclusive and the game looses focus for some reason you'll have to reload your media. Using a setup sub-routine you can just call it once the game gets focus back.

IanM's matrix utility plugin has a function called "has focus()" (or something similar) that you can use to check your game "has focus"...
