[offtopic]@g28401 You need to close all of your tags like font, size, and color by using [/font] or [/size] or [/color] [/offtopic]

Anyone here will be more than willing to help you out so just post a question and be prepared for 10 different opinions on how to solve it (LOL :D

When i get back to my cable I will fix that and standardize everything, (I don't have my cable with me.)
The ultimate goal is to end the game with the slaying of a dragon...be it figurative or real.

What about me? I've never created a true Calc RPG. Then again, that might be why it is taking me forever to make DEM. (besides the lack of calc and broken computer, and other setbacks :D

@g28401: There are several ways you could reduce the number of programs which you have. Also user input is rather easier using the getkey function where they could press 1/2 instead of doing 1 and then enter. Well making that way would increase program size by a lot. Unless you would like to have a sub routine to call each time you request user input.

EDIT:I am currently having trouuble getting the group to upload to my website. Don't try to download the game because it doesn't exist right now :dang:
LATER
It ain't working. Tommorow i will try again :paf:

BTW, is it possible to create a bitmap image on the computer and send it to the calculator?

c1-->
| CODE |
| ec1Repeat K<>0 Getkey->K End c2 |
ec2
This example will continue to loop until you press a key. This is because if your program passes over a Getkey and no keys are being pressed, it assigns 0 to the variable that is stored from the Getkey (In my example that was K). If you would like to detect a certain key, just change my 0 to something else. The way the values work is first the row # and then the column #. For example, Enter would be 105 because its in the 10th row and the 5th column or Y= would be 11 because its in the 1st row and the 1st column.
As programming is always a learning experience, I think its better for me to not give you the exact code that you need, but rather you try to use this information to develop your own code. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. My suggestion for trying to learn how to detect input, would be to first just make a dummy program that checks for two different keys being pressed, and then have it say something like "You pressed left" or "You pressed right". Then try to implement what you learned into what you need for your game.

If no key is pressed then it will keep going (stays in the loop), but when a key is pressed it passes the loop. Another example I did is.

Post by: g28401 on March 17, 2006, 04:11:00 pm I am using the Lbl and Goto commands I am using the Stop command Archiving variables Getkeys instead of Pauses. Post by: tenniskid493 on March 17, 2006, 05:39:00 pm
99% of the time, lbls and Gotos can be avoided. The only time they absolutely can't be avoided is if you are using the Menu( command. The reason they are bad is because they can cause memory leaks. This means that, whenever you enter a loop, the calculator stores some data telling it to look for an end. When it reaches the end of the loop, this information is opened up again. However, if you break up a loop with a Goto so that it never reaches the end, that memory space is wasted, thus causing a memory leak. This will lead to an annoying Err:Memory message that will cause you to have to quit out in the middle of the game. Gotos and Lbls can always be replaced with If:Then statments. Instead of saying: c1
ec2 -->you could say c1
ec2 -->If you are performing the same function many times in different spots throughout the program, then you might want to make sub-programs. Then you would do c1
ec2
Where you put whatever was at Lbl 99 into prgm??? Hope this helped you out. If you still need more help or have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, if you have a specific question about your code, you could post a portion of your code and we could have a look at it and let you know the best way to go about what you want to accomplish. Post by: g28401 on March 18, 2006, 02:04:00 pm Text Decoders? What's This? How can you use one subroutine for many functions? Many more, but can't think of them all ;O Post by: Spellshaper on March 19, 2006, 01:27:00 am 2. For example: Write your function inside an if-construction like If var= something then do stuff End and repeat this for every function. That way, u have one function library to call upon instead of many lil prmgs. Post by: g28401 on March 19, 2006, 11:22:00 am 
Post by: Spellshaper on March 19, 2006, 11:37:00 am 2. Instead of writing a function every time it is needed, put them into 1 prgm example: PROGRAM:LIB :If A=1 :then :For(A,0,100 /this just slows down the prgm... :End :End :If A=2 :then :12 :Asm(prgmCODEX /this shuts down the calc until ON is pressed, needs CODEX :Repeat getkey :End :End to call upon function1, do :1->A :prgmLIB for function2 :2->A :prgmLIB |
