How do I get to start my program only if I hit a START button?

[Aidah]

Hi there,

My idea on improving my program is to install a START button and that the program will only run if i hit it.

Even if i click on the RUN button, there were still be no effect until i click the START button.

I would be very glad to receive ideas to go about this problem.

Thanks.

If the program starts running, it will first enter wait loop containing your start button and a small wait statement. Pressing the start button will terminate the loop and proceed to the main code of your program.

That is the basic idea, expand as needed. 😉 (A more universal version would be a state machine where the start button will exit the pre-start wait state and enter the post-start state.)
