X is the X coordinate (0~23) to draw the character or string at

That is because it is displaying at (0,20)

Meaning I can't display strings in X<20?

I can just use normal BASIC, like Text( then.

[Xeda112358]

No, these aren't pixel coordinates They are like Output(, except you can draw to any row, but there are 24 columns instead of 16. Also, if you omit the coordinates, the string is drawn to the end of where the last string was drawn to

EDIT: Also, this doesn't use an OS font, so I only have the first 128 chars made

I tried this:

dim(22,"FDCB00AEC9

But the 'Done' is still there!, any idea?

[Xeda112358]

It worked fine for me... Also, should I add that as a command?

It actually worked now, maybe it was a problem of the whole program.

Here's the little animation you made, no problems with 'Done' here, working perfectly (uses Recode)

[Xeda112358]

Hehe, nice As a few tips for optimisation, instead of AxesOff, ClrDraw, and DispGraph, inside the ReCode loop you can just do Fill(0. Also, if you want to, you can do dim(22,"FDCB00AE",40 instead of using two dim( commands Thanks, Scout!

I just managed to create BatLib programs using the same engine as in Axe.

Most Axe games are based on loops:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5

Repeat getKey(15) Pt-On(X,Y,Pic1 DispGraph ClrDraw End

Getkeys, everything is inside that.

BatLib code for it:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

dim(40 Fill(0 While getKey!=15 dim(29,0,96,0,64,6 DispGraph End Stop

However, trying to add getKeys, I got an error:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

dim(40 Fill(0 While getKey!=15 If getKey=1 Then Stop End                        ; I get syntax error here dim(29,0,96,0,64,6 DispGraph End Stop

Any ideas?

Um, after the Stop, the BASIC parser picks up again The BASIC parser reads the next line which is End and it say "What is this?! This doesn't belong here!"

Also, you can use Line( instead of dim(29 in ReCode. It is faster that way

Thanks much for the advice, I'll try not to let the BASIC Parser go crazy.

[Xeda112358]

Yeah, if you need to, you can use IS>( to jump forward a specific number of lines, but that is a little advanced and complicated.

[ZippyDee]

does that take into account newline tokens? or individual commands?

[Xeda112358]

IS>( only jumps forward a number of lines, not based on the commands. So if you aren't careful, you can jump ahead to BASIC code DS>( is a command I like to use to make For( loops or whatnot   (DS>( jumps back)

[Munchor]

IS<( works with lines indeed.

Can you make a command that jumps X tokens?

[Xeda112358]

I could, but I opted not to I figured lines were easier to count than tokens.

On another note, I am going to be late for an appointment so I need to go, but here is the newest update of BatLib. I will go into more detail later about the fixes and added stuff
