Question about restarting a game...

Ok I am making this game. Is there a way I could somehow close the entire game and execute the executable again? (would close the game and start it from the begining)

Code: Select all

FileName$ = "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe"
Parameter$ = "-s -t 10"
if RunProgram(FileName$, Parameter$, "", 1)
delay(500)
endif
end

run file first, then close

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL.s GetExeName()
  sApp.s=Space(256)
  GetModuleFileName_(GetModuleHandle_(0), @sApp, 256)
  ProcedureReturn sApp
EndProcedure

RunProgram(GetExeName())
End

This should work.

Thank you SOOO much Proteus, it worked like a charm!

Bong-Mong, for some reason, I was not able to get yours to work... But thanks for trying.

Proteus, I will add you to the credits of the game I am making.
