Since Flash Gordon uses a string input system then you can take a number (say chapter number for an RPG) and use the number (say 3) and take the part of a string corrisponding with that number (say... sub(Str1,((3-1)*2)+1,2)) and add that to the end of the string "CHNUM" or whatever, do in this case you'd get "CHNUM03" then run FG and run the program it calls... thus using 1 digit you can have 10 chapters, with 2 digits you can get 100, and with 3 digits you can get 1000 chapters... this allows you to make a game that uses Queats (instead of chapters) and you could be making quests for years after you release the game!

thats how Reuben Quest and Diortem map engine works, also this could be used in a Illusiat like game where you have as many chapters as the calc can handle

@Kevin - acually even more so! you'd just have the person delete the eariler chapters... or replace them!

Zcopy (a prgm used in Diortem) can be also useful, check ticalc.org for it

(I need to inslude it here as well O_O

)

BTW: Illusiat 7 and 9 used to have manual chapter chaning, but later I implemented Codex in them to archive/unarchive prgms. I didnt do that with I11 and I12 tho because I wanted to let them pure BASIC

Aura will theoretically be able to have infinite chapters... in fact I could even add chapters in between already existing ones after the game is finished.
