Ok, This is a good answer for a beginner. Now When the user presses a button you need to set a boolean variable to true. The same variable has to be used to temporarily disable the thread running.

Code: Select all

while (isPlay == true) {
   if(!paused) {
      input();
      drawScreen(g);
      try { Thread.sleep(delay); }
      catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
   } else {
      // check keys to resume game
   }
}

I think you are speaking about submenu options. You need to construct submenu in the same canvas. You need to keep track of which menu you are in. And you need to show an array of string with fonts which represents the corresponding menu.

In J2me you need to get the time when the game starts using System.currentmilliseconds() function and then keep looking if the different of current time and started time is greater than 2000 milliseconds and change the splash screen. 2000 milliseconds represent 2 second.
