Hey guys, I'm new to javascript and I'm doing a project for my final in class. I need to make it so this game engine I manipulated causes the generation button to go for an infinite loop.

I also need to stop it using (Reset==1). Any help? Here's the code I have so far if that helps:

function generation()
{

 for(y2=0; y2<2500; y2++) 
 {
  tempmapactual[y2]=mapactual[y2];
 }

 for (g=0;g<2500;g++)
 {
  neighbours=0;
  for (h=0;h<8;h++)
  {
   if (g+coords[h]>0 && g+coords[h]<2499 && mapactual[g+coords[h]]=="white.gif") 
   {neighbours=neighbours+1;} 
  }
  if (neighbours>=4 || neighbours==1 || neighbours==0) 
   {tempmapactual[g]="black.gif";}

  if (neighbours==3) {tempmapactual[g]="white.gif";}
 }

 for(y3=0; y3<2500; ++y3) 
 {
  if (mapactual[y3]!=tempmapactual[y3])
  {
   mapactual[y3]=tempmapactual[y3];
   document.images[y3+offset].src=mapactual[y3];
  }
 }

} 




</script> 

<script>
function doIt()
{
   for (i=0; i<X; i++)
  {
    // This is where I have trouble. What part of generation() do I call?
  }

     if (Reset==1) break; // This will kill the loop instantly.
  }
}
</script>

<script>
window.onload(doIt($(X).value)));
</script>


<form> 
<input type="button" value="generate" onClick="generation();"> 
</form>

<form>
<input type="text">
</form>

<form>
<input type="button" value="Infinite Loop!" onclick="doIt();"> 
</form>

<form>
<input type="button" value="Reset" onclick="doIt();">
</form>
