Pausing.

I was wondering if there was a way to freeze the framerate completely? I was going to use this to pause the game when the window is unfocused or you push "p".
Thanks:-)

To put it in the simplest terms possible, turn
into
Code: Select all
paused = false
function love.keypressed(key)
if key == "p" then
paused = not paused
end
end
function love.update(dt)
if paused then return end
...
end

And for when you lose focus:
Code: Select all
function love.focus(f)
if not f and not paused then
pause = true
end
end

why would you write "not false" instead of "true" ?

That's also the way
Invader does it, by the way.
