How is this done? I would like to detect if the app has been run twice - and pop up a message saying "game is already running", then quit. It is necessary in the world of casual games - people often run the same game twice. I cannot rely on little text files saved to the hard drive.

I had completely forgotten about it. Been working hard recently, so apologies.
