How can I prevent the game from restarting to allow for high score posting?
I've repurposed much of the tutorial code for another game and I've run into an issue when the game is over. There is a long "append" statement that occurs at the end of the game. I wanted to add another option for users to post a high score. Unfortunately, one of two undesirable outcomes happen.
1. The "post" code runs before users can input their name
2. The game resets when a user clicks the "post" button even though they haven't clicked "restart game" It seems as though the game restart is triggered on ANY click even when I comment out the "$("#restartbutton").click(restartgame);" line
I would like to have two click event options as follows:
$("#postscorebutton").click(PostHighScore(encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById("highscoreuser").value), newscore));
$("#restartbutton").click(restartgame);
