If it is pressed, we toggle the pausedВ variable using the notВ operator ( !). So, here we're checking to make sure we're in the game room, then we check to see if the 'P' key is pressed.

The code to add into this event is: if room = rm_Game

We'll be using the 'P' key to pause the game in this example, but you can use any key really - like escape - or have a button that detectes a mouse click or even detect a gamepad button instead. There's already code in this event, so we'll add the pause code after what's there already. We now need to open up the Step EventВ of the object obj_Game. The variable pausedВ will be either trueВ or falseВ depending on whether the game is paused or not, and the variable paused_surfВ will be used to hold the ID of a surface, which is what we'll use to draw the game to the screen while all the instances are deactivated. To start with, open the Create EventВ and add in the following variables: paused = false This is the Space Rocks controller object and it's where we will be making the pause system work. To get things started, you need to open up the object obj_Game. since deactivated instances don't draw, the screen goes blank! However, as you'll see, we can fix that! This makes deactivating things ideal for creating a pause system, although it doesВ create a minor issue. Deactivated instances still exist in the game, but they're in a kind of 'limbo' where they do nothing - they won't draw and they won't run their events. There are various different ways that you can pause a game, but for this tutorial we're going to use one of the simplest, which is to deactivateВ all the game instances and then draw a 'Pause' screen.
