FS#4761 - Hold Switch Pause Games

I’ve Figured what a great Idea it was, If putting the player on HOLD will automatically pause plugins such as games.
It’s a tricky combination to firstly pause the game and then lock the player as it is today, and futhermore, it could be a consistent key combination in every plugin. (at least for players that has a hold switch :)

This is a great idea, I must say. There is one minor quirk, though, and that is that the Hold switch controls the display mode in Rockboy on the H100. I guess we can easily change that.

Added this behavior in the following three patches for jewels, snake, and snake2.

dang! I was just starting to work on it myself…

please state as soon as possible what other plugins are you going to port so we won’t end up doing the same work :)

Well what plugins are left that need to be ported? The only other game that actually needs to be paused is wormlet. Are there any others?

punkrockguy318 commented on 2006-04-16 22:18

I’m not going to get a chance to do too much coding for a while, so go ahead and patch away at the plugins that could still use the functionality.

I’ll probably have those done the next time i’m home, in about 11 days. hope this makes it into cvs.

here’s a patch bundle for: brickmania, bubbles, snake, snake2, spacerocks, wormlet, xobox, pacbox.

The concept was to change the game code as little as I could, so on all games that had a pause option, we just change the button integer to pause button;
It is less likely to cause an error like this and no code duplication is caused.

other plugins that might use this patch: pong, rockblox.
