As for your problem involving pausing the game, I have another idea, but I don't know if it would work on a Windows computer. Basically, all you would have to do is open Quicktime (you usually find it on Mac computers), go into the File menu and click on "New Screen Recording." Once you do that, just hit the red button to record and you'll have footage of you as you work on your screen. This is useful because you will get footage of yourself playing the game that you can review to your heart's content. From the footage, you can then try to screen capture bits from the footage and then fix them up in the paint program of your choice. Just be wary that footage you record tends to be a little JPG-ish, which leads to unnecessary colors that you won't be able to see unless you inspect it closely. I'm sure it's not an issue to you considering how you plan to use the backgrounds and how you're going to trace over them, but if you plan on actually submitting what you have to the main site, just keep that in mind, OK?
The good news: I have Quicktime, I use it for my Adobe Photoshop program.
Bad News: I DO have a Windows Computer.
So screen recording's a no-go. Now what'll I do?
