play repeats the same prompt 5 times. about cbtgame HOT 3 CLOSED

It generate 5 but only displays the last one 5 times. I think it is the opposite of closures. Or it might have to do with what the this is referring to. Either way I could bypass this by switching from popup dialog to on webpage buttons. This is a feature I plan on adding anyway. But I would like to understand this instead of going around it.

This solves the repeat prompts problem but not the update problem.

I solved this problem before my rewrite by moving the timeout from the calling function to the called function. I never committed this. I never solved why the update only happened after the second loop. Both of these problems are solved in the rewrite.
