I hope it'll get sorted out.. I have no exp with palib.. so I couldn't help with that

 

[.::5pYd3r::.]

I fixed it i just had to put while (1) b4 if(Pad.Released.Start)
{
PA_EasyBgLoad(1, 2, Court)
}

 

[ediblebird]

CODE// PALib Template Application

// Includes
#include    // Include for PA_Lib

#include "gfx/all_gfx.c"
#include "gfx/all_gfx.h"

int gameStart = 0;

int main()
{
PA_Init(); Â Â// Initializes PA_Lib
PA_InitVBL(); // Initializes a standard VBL
PA_InitText(0, 3); //Initializes text

PA_EasyBgLoad(1, 3, Pong_Menu); //Screen, Priority 0-3, Name
PA_OutputSimpleText(0,11,11,"Press Start"); // Screen, tile x, y, "text"

while(1){

if(Pad.Released.Start && gameStart == 0)
{
PA_EasyBgLoad(1, 2, Court);
gameStart = 1;
}

}

return 0;
}

i think that fixes the prob you are talking about
make a variable called gameStart and when you press start it checks if it = 0, then if it does, it goes into the game and changes the variable so it doesn't restart the game every time you press start.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

It would probably be cleaner code if you used a bool for gameStart, but that's just a matter of preference.

 

[.::5pYd3r::.]

i don't even know what a bool is because i have just started learning c/c++ with the help of online guides and the c for dummies book

 

[outphase]

bool is the name of a boolean variable. this means the value is either false or true. if you set any nonzero value to the variable, it is considered true. you'll learn this variable type soon enough. it's very useful for stuff like this.

Bool is boolean. A bool variable can either be true or false (1 or 0). Some languages have a predefined bool variable type. Others like C don't. With C, you use an integer as a boolean variable.
