If anyone can help me find one (one that I can run with Asm( and without shell), It would help me cuz pressing ON in my RPG can make the game no longer executable.
And a prgm that store pics in archived pics without unarchiving them could be helpful too. |

| According to This, It won't work unless you make your program entirely of ASM. |

| I don't think there is a program like that. Are you worried about people breaking your program while they play? Because if so, I wouldnt recomend taking that out. When playing games its always better if the user can simply quit if something goes wrong or they just don't want to go through the menu to quit or something. |

| well, you can use a small asm program that just has a delay loop and a ret. Or you could try using interupts. If you find an interrupt method, let me know. |

I think it checks for [on] to break it every time it looks at at a piece of Basic code. It could probably be done only by writing your own basic parser, or by somehow modifying TI's.

Maybe it's better to protect your program when you're done writing it, so that people cannot edit it but can use break to get out.
It's a pity TIBasic doesn't have try...finally statements. Is what you're trying to do like archiving a picture you use or saving the vars to a list? |

| I have two programs written for blocking and unblocking the on key. They have been tested and work flawlessly! |

the code under finally is executed even if an error results. So in your case, when the user presses [on], you would put things like
Code:
Archive Pic1
{A,R,C,X,Y} -> LSAVE
Archive LSAVE
under the finally. If there were a try/finally statement in TI-Basic.
There is a Try... Else... EndTry in TI89-Basic, which could be almost used for the same purpose. But it doesn't catch the break error.  Which makes it pointless. |

Done, check my members folder.
http://unitedti.org/members/jbirk/
the programs are yeson and noon.
Asm(prgmNOON to block the on button
and the other to unblock it.
You should use it within a basic program.
While 1
End
is an infinate loop, so to freeze your calculator, make a basic program like this and without the on break, you will have to pull a battery.
Asm(prgmNOON
While 1
End
A good test is:
Asm(prgmNOON
For(A,0,1000
Disp A
End
Asm(prgmYESON

Could you make one so you can't use [2nd][Quit] to exit in the Input command?
Also, will it hurt the calculator to run prgm NOON then not run prgm YESON at the end?

| It should just block on breaks until you run the other prog, or clear your ram. |

No, it won't hurt the calculator. Worse case sencario, you get stuck in an endless loop and have to pull a battery to reset your ram.
BTW, there are other ways out of it. If you exit the basic program, with noon enabled, there shouldn't be any problems. Really, it only blocks ON until the interrrupt gets overwritten. You could just turn the calculator off then on from the homescreen; TIOS will overwrite the interrrupt then.
All in all, it works very well. |

| Ok, now I'm confused. I wonder if anyone from DS can give me a technical answer to explain why it works that way? |
