QUIT In Game Selection
« on: March 17, 2018, 12:51:12 AM »
Wa-da-whwat?  We have to Go back twice to end game?  BS...  Put a 'Quit Game' option for us that got triggered, on the clipboard.

What if you had a cord you could just yank on? It could be set up to shut down the game and your pc at the same time.

Its actually a good wish.  One click to be back at the desktop and have the game closed in the process.

Many games have this.  :aok

Alt-F4  :aok

Why are you being so mean to newbs with that old jok-...  Oh, it actually applies in this case.  Carry on then. :)

Still, not an unreasonable wish.  Personally for my rage quitting needs, Alt-F4 takes less time than clicking out through a menu, plus you get the added bonus of really being able to punch those keys.

So yeah, just add a new button called "rage quit to desktop". In addition to quitting the game with one click, it auto-deletes the game folder too.

From a programming point of view, it is a distinct MESSAGE in the windows message que\API.  Only HiTech can answer if all the ideal shutdown and cleanup of the app occurs if any type of non-menu driven Window Close\Exit event occurs.

The cleanest most reliable way will always be to use the application interface options to close and exit an application.

See "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold for THE definitive documentation on the windows API.
