Hey

Quick question:
If I was in the middle of the main function, would there be a way to start from the beginning again, like restart it? (ie, could I use main(); or is there another way)?

It's better to use a while loop, but you could use labels
e.g.

Oh, and I have another question.

I'm not using callbacks (so there's no "Do you want to exit the game?" screen), and in my program I'm using:

Your program needs to run in kernel mode when you want to catch the home button. I had the same problem recently.

Thanks, worked like a charm!

I'm releasing it now, it's called 'Outa-Space PSP'.

Here's the download, and I've submitted it to QJ.

Using lables and goto - bad style. I prefer:

Using labels and gotos is only considered bad style if you buy into the whole "structured" programming style. If you aren't trying to be 100% structured, there's absolutely nothing bad about using labels and gotos in any manner at all.

I think they push structured programming style too much these days. It's one of the main contributors to code bloat.

You'll find a lot of debate about goto/labels...
In certain cases, and if you're a good programmer, you can make clean and efficient use of goto and labels; the Linux kernel for example uses them frequently for clean error handling.
But for most new programmers, it's recommended that you just steer clear of them completely, as they can quickly lead to bad habits and keep you from learning other useful code structures like do/while, switch/case, etc.

not to mention you goto somewhere; and you miss closing
a file pointerf or even opening one :P ....this is most common
problem
