[Gambas-user] Freeze mouse input for a second

[Emil Lenngren]

When I did a similar game, I had some boolean variable called locked or
something. In the mouse receiver event handlers, I first check if the
boolean variable is set or not. If it is set, I return immediately, if not,
I continue as normal.
You should be able to do that as well.

I should not use sleep, as that freezes the whole application. For example
it does not redraw the window if it has to.
