Can I pilot video game by labview?

Hi,
 
Sorry first for my english, but I'm french.
 
I want to permit the user to play video game contingent on some target event (a click in the mouse, for example) occuring in the front panel.
And do this until any time, making a pause, returning in the front panel, waiting for the target event, and when occuring returning in the video game at the place he quited before.
 
Can I do this and if yes, how can I do, please ?
 
Thank you in advance.

Salut,
 
If you want to take actions based on user clickng the mouse, etc., you will want to take a look at the Events Structure.  Look up examples on it and also read about it on the Online Help.

Hi,

 

Yes, in fact, I want it runs when some event appear in the front panel, the user makes one clic onto the mouse. The video game runs until any time, 30 sec. for example, and the player can interactively plays with it. When the time has elapsed, the video game is at a pause state. We return in the front panel of the VI and waits the target event to reappear for the game runs again.

Thanks for your help.

You can use the Event Structure to capture the User Mouse events, then use a producer-consumer pattern to run your game for the specified time, etc.  Take a look at this: 
 
LabVIEW 7.1\templates\Frameworks\DesignPatterns\ProducerConsumerEvents.vit
