How to make html5 game work in background?

[Jan]

Hi!

I am working on game simillar to:
https://dogeminer.se/
Main idea of the game is that player earns (for example) 1 point every minute game is running. Hovewer when player change tab with game or minimize browser game stop counting points. I would like to run game maker game in "background" so that even if player would have browser minimized or is watching tabs with other pages game is still running (as long player do not close browser tab with game). Is it possible with Game Maker? I saw other games in java script which works like that.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jan - it's not possible to keep the tab "active" while it's in the background. You can calculate how much time has passed and simulate the process though.
