Hi All again,

I'm getting along nicely so far with my game but once again have run into an issue. Simply put, if my player dies then it will state GAME OVER! Type "Q" to quit or "Hint" for a tip etc. I would like the player to type in certain things but not be able to carry on with game which he can do. I can use code" finish game" but then he can't type in anything.

How do i disable the game play but still be able to type in certain keywords like "q", "hint", "restart" but not carry on with game play like "go north" or "take object".

Help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Instead of finishing the game you can move the player into an empty room without exits

Ah thank you Pertex, will try that. Did not even think of something so simple.
