how do you make a game pause screen?

Well, the pause screen could be a backdrop. You could also have a global variable called pause that you could set to 1. Other scripts could look at this variable to decide whether or not they should hide or show themselves, or keep their scripts running. You could also communicate the paused state to other sprites through a broadcast event. Let me know if this helps. Maybe you'll get another opinion as well. Happy Scratching!

Nice job with the project, asivi. Demonstrates the concept well.

Idk maybe broadcasts?
