Restart game after after 2 minutes of inactivity

[kenmarold]

I'm trying to figure out how to begin writing a piece of code that listens for user activity. If there is absolutely no activity after a few minutes I want the game to restart. Can someone recommend a good starting point to get something like this working?

You cloud do semthing like : if you press any key, you will get as example 200 points which go down with the time. If you got no points, you'll respawn.

or set the points to 200

Hi,
well it depends on what you are using, movement by keyboard / joystick / touch / mouse

if keys/joystic , you could for example use a global int variable and on the places that you have a key down action add 1 to that int and when released subtract 1

then on a separate fsm set a wait and an int compare

if the int is greater than 0 go to another state with also an int compare to check if the int is less than 1, to go back to the 1st state

if the int stays 0 for the time set in the wait action then go to the reset state.
