tap button to continue

[Pankaj]

What is the simplest way to give an option to continue to next step by tapping a screen 3 times or pressing a volume button.

presently I am inserting pauses but that is not so slick.

Thanks in advance

Please check examples in sample programs how button press is analyzed.
There are many examples where buttons are used, for example "painter.txt" in Interactive Interface section.

Code: Select all

graphics ! graphics clear 
draw color 0,0,0
button "nono" title "do NOT press" at 100,100 size 150,100
draw text "Pressing this button will" at 30,240
draw text "destroy your button!" at 60,270

wait: if not button_pressed ("nono") then wait

button "nono" delete    ' continue the program
graphics clear ! draw text "You did it" at 50,255
end

Thanks, I am an absolute beginner, so those were a bit too tricky for me.
However, I have managed with the - Input from keyboard(PROMPT$) routine and used DO UNTIL FIELD_CHANGED as method of pausing.
It is rather crude and unsightly but works.
