PLEASE ADD A quick quit option

[Don Andy]

Heck, I just argue I'm learning LUA :p

The answer at my place would be "What for?" xD

Only thing I'm allowed to do here is programming in ABAP.

Not using Vista at work. Also not running it fullscreen, which means the minimize button on the window key push wouldn't work either.

Also Windows + Tab in Vista does the 3d tile flip thing, and that is not what I want either, as that's just yelling I'm hiding something.

At any rate we don't use Vista at work. Just XP Pro.

Yes, but the Windows Key will free your mouse from the game, pausing it and also giving you the chance to minimize or cover it up. Alt + Tab does not work in-game but pressing Windows Key first should fix that too.
With Vista's Windows Key + Tab, Aquaria will actually show as transparent. And if Alt + Tab (outside Aquaria), it will show Aquaria as a grey square with the Vista program symbol in the middle.

Run it in a window instead and use a big window that looks like work (whatever you are supposed to do) to Alt-TAB into.

This is what is currently being done. However the desktop is usually more cluttered than that. Instead of work arounds that can and could not work, a simple boss key would do fine.

Also the transparency does not matter either as it would be obvious something was getting hidden.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Mush Man, thanks but as I've said before I'm not using Vista at work.

Also Alt + Tab does work in windowed mode in XP and Vista. (same in fullscreen)

Yeah, I know you're not running Vista. But you do know there will be no boss key.

Max it's another old post the guys aren't even here to read your reply!

[Danger Mouse]

Don't DM, do what I do and read the last post first check the previous few posts and then check the rest if the new ones seem relivant.

[inkblob]

yea, when I log in I check show unread posts, and then open all of the last pages in the threads into new tabs. if it requires more back peddaling then I go back a page

[Danger Mouse]

It was to be expected for my curiosity of never reading this thread. But at the same time, also my fault for not checking when the original post date started. *shrug* Meh, I think Chibi learned his lesson though.. lol 24 hour ban? ouch. Alec really put the gag on him. I'm sure he was squirming a bit because of it too.

[silverflagon]

Yea lol

[2disbetter]

BAn? Who got banned? Why?

[Chibi]

 I confess!  I was a little (read as "chronically") trigger happy with the post button, raising the dead and otherwise dabbling in the dark arts of the forum. I've learned my lesson.

P.S. The ban wasn't a punishment more than a wake-up call (and it didn't make me squirm "squirms"

I've also tried to make my posts longer and more meaningful, so that I concentrate on quality instead of quantity. The evidence of my misdemeanor is spread across the forums if you want to hear the story from those who complained.   

Until next time ...

Disfruta de Aquaria! (Alluding to a comment on the main website where I called myself Carlos)

[silverflagon]

I didn't complain but I did try to point you in the right direction gently at first, then I put my foot down a bit harder didn't I chibi lol Everyone has to learn some how and I think that you can now be on your way to being an honoured member

I remember I was playing some game that was going around my school (back in high school) and I was playing it during spanish class and it wouldn't let me alt-tab, alt-F4, or anything.  I ended up just holding the power button on my laptop until it manually shut off.  The teacher was obviously suspicious but i didn't get in trouble.

ANYway, that's why every game should have a quick quit button.
