Am I the only one for whom this page is a lil screwed up?
And yeah, please use for/while/repeat instead of lbls.  |

Well, my avatar isn't showing up so I guess it's back to the Ice Climber whacking the seal.
As for the gotos, I suppose I'll try to remove as many as I can- and I don't move very quickly, so don't expect me to get much done soon.
I'm sorry for being such a horrible basic programmer. I know everyone else here at UTI would by now be releasing the project if they were making it. |

I think you should be able to Goto out of a loop to maintain engine speed, as long as you remember to Goto a Lbl right before the end, especially if you're only doing this under special conditions, like
Code:
While 1
If X>8 or X<1 or Y>16 or Y<1:Goto 1
Lbl 0
End
Lbl 1
If X>8:1->X
If X<1:8->X
If Y>16:1->Y
If Y<1:16->Y
Goto 0
You don't want to slow the game down with code that might not even be used, so put it in outside the loop.
EDIT:I didn't triple post before. Some posts were deleted it seems.

The arrangement
Code:
While 1
If condition
Goto 1
Lbl 0
End
Lbl 1
~statements~
Goto 0
is memory-leak prone, I'm afraid. Use status variables instead to break out of a While (or a Repeat, for that matter).

| Wouldn't it be safe if you jump back into the loop? |

Right, I don't believe the previous code does cause memory leak, as [font="courier new"]End is encountered successfully regardless of the condition. Still, I insist that the loss of speed due to label searching makes the method moot.
This could work...
[font="courier new"]While 1
Repeat X>8 or X<1 or Y>16 or Y<1
End
If X>8:1→X
If X<1:8→X
If Y>16:1→Y
If Y<1:16→Y
End
...but I suggest that you try this one instead: 
[font="courier new"]While 1
X-8((X> -not(X→X
Y-16((Y>16)-not(Y→Y
End

| I used SourceCoder to "optimize" one of my old basic programs (when I was new to the language), and it added 15 bytes... A negative compression ratio! |

| I had that happen to me, although I didn't find where exactly it changed something. What's up with that? |
