Screen behavior and restrictions

• Action list
  

  Like pages screens have action lists, but once all actions have been performed the screen remains open. Screens can only use a limited subset of actions compared to pages. For instance you can not use a Go to page-action in a screen because the only way to leave a screen is to close it.

• Threads
  

  Screens have no threads.

• Access
  

  Screens can only be opened and closed using buttons or other user input.

• The screen stack
  

  Screens can be shown ontop of other pages and even other screens. When more than one screen is opened they get stacked. Closing a screen will only remove the screen at the top of the stack and the focus will be brought on whatever is underneath. When all screens have been closed then the current page will resume playing.

• Saving from a screen
  

  The screen stack is not stored when the player saves their game.
