How do i pause my game?

I know its newbie but i didnt implemented that yet…

Is there any correct way
?

#2

Erm… vague much?

What libraries, frameworks, code are you using?

#3

If your code is designed properly, you could try not calling update on other classes.
But its important you separated update logic (movement, collisions etc) from drawing (only drawing stuff).

#4 
if(!paused)
{
  game.update();
}
#5 

        if (keycode == Keys.P) {
            if (current_Level.isPaused == true) {
                current_Level.resume();
            } else {
                current_Level.pause();
            }
        }

  @Override
    public void pause() {
        isPaused = true;
        soundtrack.get(0).pause();
    }

    @Override
    public void resume() {
        isPaused = false;
        soundtrack.get(0).play();
    }

:stuck_out_tongue:

@Override
    public void render(float delta) {

        if (isPaused == false) {
....
}

And it works like a charm, thanks robin and thanks Terabytes haha :stuck_out_tongue:

one way i would do the key inputs for pausing a game would be

if(keycode == KeyEvent.VK_P){
     current_Level.isPaused = !current_Level.isPaused;
}

This is so you can toggle it on and off.
Just a little something i thought id share. If your happy with the way you do it. Its perfect.
