[font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]ClrDraw
StorePic 1
Repeat 0
For(X,1,3
Text(‾1,0,0,sub("I#H",X,1 //# is token BBD2
RecallPic 1
StorePic 1
End
rand(N
Text(‾1,0,0," //1 space
rand(N
End

Based on my results, [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]N would be [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]11 on the 83+ and [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]28 on the 84+SE, but the available memory might also be a factor in timing it properly. Writing this as a loop with [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]sub() oddly makes it appear nicer than the supposedly faster, unrolled counterpart. I did use trial and error to settle on this permutation, yet the animation still seems a little "off" if you look at it hard enough. The token [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]| (BBD8) by itself should be sufficient for a text input, unless you want to go through the hoops necessary to make it look like the real thing, which is really not as interesting.

Unless of course you had more nefarious reasons for making it look like the real thing :ninja:

Darkerline, you can (as I mentioned earlier) use the reverse = symbol with the link I posted.

Of course. You wouldn't happen to know the hex value for an inverted equals sign token?

Edit: for a flashing "ALPHA" cursor: the best I have is [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]w^DL´
and I am afraid this one is not so easy to improve on.

I wouldn't know it either, yet that editable .8xp from his post somehow has it.

ASMin28Days says it's either $F7 or $7F, I don't know if it's row-first or column-first.

The hex value for the token would be more useful than the character's value.
I'm diving deep into this now – that is, from a non-assembly point of view. Razz

Do the numbers 360 and 1 make any sense here (numbers from TI Data Editor)?

I have 0xBBF5. I found the token with a program I have, pasted it into a program, then checked the hex with calcsys.

That's exactly what I did just now, and got the same result.
However, it doesn't work on my 83+ (1.15); I just get a "?".

[EDIT]

Transferring the creature via link cable wasn't fruitful (ERR:VERSION).

it worked on my 1.19 (in wabbitemu)

Edit: that was a lame 500th post! I just noticed that was my 500th post.

Well, you know, it might be best to avoid such issues and use Goose's 3-character version instead. Granted, the # character isn't the best either in terms of compatibility, but it should work as well as lowercase letters do (and everyone uses those).

ERR:VERSION again. I've lost interest.

Maybe those more hex-wise than I will pick this up in a different thread.

Here's something kind of neat I found, you can use the faster circle routine from Basic by passing a complex list (any complex list - doesn't matter what's in it) as the 4th parameter. eg, "Circle(0,0,5,{i" instead of "Circle(0,0,5"

Holy crap! How'd you figure that out!
That's amazing!

I'm gonna try some more stuff like this and see what happens...

Another case of of speed vs. size. Either you draw your circle fast, but with 2-3 extra bytes attached or your draw your circle slow, but with no extra bytes. Anyways, great find!
