Hello,

you can simply overwrite the key so processing doesn't recognize the escape.

for the menu vs. game part in general: use a var state that indicates in which state the program currently is: game or menu.

Search my name and state in the forum pls.

no ; needed after } btw

1. final int stateMenu=0;
2. final int stateGame=1;
3. int state=stateGame;
4. 
   
5. void setup() {
6. }
7. 
   
8. void draw() {
9. }
10. 
    
11. void keyPressed() {
12.   if (keyCode == 27) {
13.     // leave game
14.     // transition to menu
15.     key = 0;
16.     println ("escape hit");
17.     state = stateMenu;
    
18.   }
19.   else
20.     println (key);
21. }
22. 
    

I was too late...

Neat. *snaps picture*
I didn't know you could do this.

Yes, neat

In the main menu you need then one entry "exit" (e.g. with the letter x)
and say

1. exit();

there to leave the program (and make sure he doesn't do other code, because with exit he still runs to the end of draw() and doesn't stop immediately)

technical faq recommended...
