Hi there,

I am currently creating an interactive tutorial to the makerspace that I work in at my college.

I had a question regarding:
the possibility of a robotic script which might send the game back to the title screen after no input has been received from the player.

Is this possible? Thanks-

This might do what you want. It will wait a number of seconds before exiting to the title, and every time a key press or mouse press is detected it will reset the timer.

. "The number of seconds to wait before exiting gameplay."
set "local2" to 30

. "timer"
set "local" to 0

: "l"
inc "local" by 1
multiply "local" by "(('key_pressed'=0) a ('buttons'=0))"
wait for 1
if "local" < "('local2'*625/('mzx_speed'-1*10))" then "l"
set "exit_game" to 1

Reason for edit: Check BUTTONS too

I'm guessing this is probably a no, but is it possible for the Raspbian mzx port to interface with the GPIO pins on the Rpi board? I think it could potentially lead to some interesting games featuring homebrew electronics.
