Subject: Delays in Programs


Can someone supply me with some code on how to delay in a program?  I've
seen it in many games when the creators name appears and then the screen
goes to the next virtual screen. Does a certain library do what I am trying
to achieve? I just mastered the font library today(big whoopie), but I
really need to move on in my game that I am starting. Can someone help me
out?

You can use time()..

procedure wait(atom delay)
atom start, fini
  start = time() -- now
  fini = start + delay
 while time() < fini do
 end while -- loop
end procedure

wait(10) -- 10 seconds
wait(.1) -- 1/10 second
