well that's when you use Equ->String(...

This is like the second topic in the past 24 hours mimicking my raycaster's subject format!


Regarding the topic at hand, I don't know much about hooks but I'll throw out a wild guess here. Is this problem possibly due to the same reason that PutS doesn't work in Apps? In which case the solution would be to use a PutC loop?

Another possible cause: Is your source code set to originate at the location the hook will exist in RAM? If not, StrGetKeys would be compiled to an incorrect value.

Well I thought it was a neat title, so I copied it. (and you weren't the only one working on a raycaster before squigetx's, mine works AND has a maze generation program attached )

The puts problem is fixed, I was setting penCol instead of curRow

Now I wonder: any way to detect kOn with b_call(_getkey) without the error message? I know kOn=0 in the current situation...

Oh, and you can now put kEnter in your keystring! The input is now terminated by On. (since that doesn't return anything anyways) it does throw an error, but don't worry, it won't interfere, and pushing either gives the same effect of successful installation.

nope. the OS automatically checks the first byte to see if it is $83 before running it.

also, my previous post was #100000

well thats not what "Learn TI-83+ Assembly in 28 Days" had to say about it

I'll try curCol first...

EDIT: nope, its curRow

ok how many does this make it?

I just wanted to do it for the fun of it (and experience), but these are the features of SECURITE: ^{(name subject to change)}

 blocks APPS, PRGM, MEM, LINK, and CATALOG.
   why CATALOG? because that contains the Asm(prgm tokens, which can be used to re-run the program and reset the key.

 currently supports a 5 (or less) keypress 'string'. Could be longer (would actually only have to delete code ), but it might be too easy to forget.
   Automatically disables security when the keystring is entered.
   Sorry, no [Enter] in the keystring. That is used to confirm it.

 Re-enables everything with [2nd][TBLSET] (thats on F2, for quick reference)
   What does that do anyways?
   If you really want TBLSET, just re-enable it and try again. TBLSET is enabled when the security is.

 Installs a raw key hook to appbackupscreen, so running virtually any ASM program will disable it...
   Hey, its not an app... (could use appvars... <- possible future update)
   Disables with any method that disables any raw key hook, only way I know of is PTT... (saved me the trouble of pulling batteries quite often earlier...)
   ↑↑↑ possible future update, blocking PTT
   are there any other methods of breaking a raw key hook?

 Virtually unbreakable with a good key, and followed by 'Clear Entries' (or 2.53MP and up scrolling up and manually deleting)
   Only way out I know of is PTT.
      Does that have a key value associated with it?

 size. that is its awesomeness factor. 170 bytes on-calc, and 229 on computer. Almost smaller than a one-line BASIC program!

I am having trouble with:
  displaying the prompt for the keystring. Oddly, I cannot get b_call(_puts) to work.

I had trouble with:
  not initializing the keystring length. lol I almost posted about it working on wabbit but not on-calc

Edit:
wrote it from scratch today

PTT = Push to test, triggered by pressing ON while holding left and right arrows.
Compiled with 100% MIMAS 0.2.

It doesn't work. When I type the STO char in Y= it does nothing. It won't let me type it

1: type "-> on the homescreen, press enter, then quit (when it gives an error)
2: go to Y= and push [2nd][Enter].

that should do it!

but c'mon guys there has to be another way... like:

:If inString("every_single_token_except_"_and_->",sub(Str1,1,1))
:Else
...
:End

I could use XTRACHAR for that... I keep it on-calc at all times

But it'll run horribly slow.

basically, I'm doing:

:input Str1,""
:Str1->u           //thats the graphing variable

Ok, so now I need to know what data type u is. I have tests for everything but strings.

EDIT: Na. I wanna save all my assembly routines for blocking ON, APPS, and [2nd][Quit]

Y DUZ DIS GIB M3 A 3R0R?

:If sub(Str1,1,1)="""
:Then
...
:End
