Hi.
I am debugging a program that enters the graphics mode but, when the exectuin meets an error, I just hear the "error sound" but the graphic window doesn't automatically exits from the graphics mode.

Is there a way to enable it or a walkaround?

Ooops,
I posted in the wrong forum.

Could a mod move my topic in the right section?
Thanks.

Better to run in windowed mode for testing.

(this should be in one of the programming forums, not Tutorials)

EndGraphics, maybe?

Use a Try/Catch. RuntimeErrors throw an exception.

Try
	Main()
Catch a:Object
	EndGraphics
	Throw a
End Try

Function Main()
	Graphics 640, 480, 16
	RuntimeError "A bad thing happened"
End Function
