Menu - Lbl is alright, though?
as long as it isn't within any if-then or loop condition, its fine.
making your own is often not worth the work (and space) unless you need something stylish or specialized

If you care about flexibility and graphical appeal, make your own. If you want youre program to be small, use the default.
That is it exactly...
If you are making an ordinary game, use the ordinary menu. Extrodianry games call for extrordinary menus!

lol, very true. Most of my little BASIC arcadeish games use Menu(, while WDI, CS1, and ut2 all use custom menus.
I've of course done some mods of Menu( like making the top textbar solid across by using padding spaces and such.
I generally only use menu()s for text-intensive games and custom-made ones for graphics-intensive games.
btw, does anyone know if there's a way to make stacked menus in basic? Like onthe program menu you can either run, edit, or create new by moving the cursor across the top. I haven't found a way to do this yet, so I was just wondering.

Code please? I think I get what you're saying but I'm not sure.
It would be kinda long to type, but here's some pseudocode:
Code:
Code:
DelVar MDelvar NRepeat K=106
ClrHome
Output(1,1+4M,sub("PRGMEDITNEW ",1+4M,4
Output(2+N,1,">
If not(M
Then
;put the menu-specific definitions here
Output(
End
If M=1
Then
;put the menu-specific definitions here
Output(
End
If M=2
Then
;put the menu-specific definitions here
Output(
End
Repeat K:getkey-->K
End
M-(K=24)(M=/=0)+(K=26)(M=/=2)-->M
N-(K=25)(N=/=0)+(K=34)(N=/=7)-->N
(K=105)106-->K
End
Adding on items to the game... came accross an idea to Goto without any loops.
Is Goto fine if it's not in a loop?
Is Goto fine if it's not in a loop?
Yes. As long as a Goto isn't inside a For, IfThen, Whiile, or Repeat loop, it's ok. Although in general, avoid Lbl and Goto if possible.
Well, it ended up in an If loop... woops!
Good thing I checked before putting it in...
BTW, I changed the list attributes in ZGA to variables, and it does work faster again! Now I know what was making my guy move so slow!

I actually never use Else...
Is there any actual need for it?
My style:
If J=1:Then
T+1->T
End
Output(1,1,"J is not 1"
No need for an Else between End and Output...

Was hypothetical, mate...
I know...
Anyway...
I'm fighting rabbits and beavers and at a random point a Memory error comes up!
I start the game again, fight a bit, it comes up after a bit!
A) What???
B) Why???
C) How can I fix it???
