Imagine displaying an image until a key is pressed at which time the screen is cleared or TEXT is displayed followed by another image. I have browsed the first few Workshop tutorials but could not find the solution. Thanks

Ultimately, the names of images will be read from a file into a STRUCT along with other information (e.g., x/y coord) while time elapsed, in ms, between display and key press will be critical. Are there any benefits to doing this in legacy mode? Again, I apologize for the basic nature of the questions. I am hoping to systematically reach a flexible end point which may necessitate very naive posts. Code: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include <acknex.h> #include <default.c> //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// BMAP* first_pcx = "first.pcx"; BMAP* second_pcx = "main.pcx"; PANEL* first_pan = { pos_x = 0; pos_y = 0; layer = 1; bmap = first_pcx; flags = OVERLAY \| VISIBLE; } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void main() { video_mode = 7; screen_color.blue = 150; while(!key_enter) { wait(1); } //wait until the enter key is pressed first_pan.bmap = second_pcx; //show new bmap } Last edited by kns; 05/10/09 16:54.
