EDIT: What's 'the' highlight effect?

I think he means the kind of games that have a menu of a few items, and the selected item is inverted pixels (black backround, white lettering). I think the only way you could do this would be a pxl-change( and a few For loops, but there's probably a faster way. Is there anything like Text(-1,X,Y except instead of large lettering it's "highlighted"?

I do not think that is possible in basic without doing
Code:
:Text(-1,8,8,"Text"):For(R,8,15):For(C,8,44):Pxl-Change(R,C):End:End
. The hex code for inverted letters on the home screen, that you could type into a program whose 1st line is AsmPrgm, is FDCB05DEC9 (don't ask me what that means... I just asked someone in my math class)

No, Pxl-Change in a loop is the only way in TiBasic. Yes, you could use Pt-Change or Pxl-Test, but it ends up doing the same but slower.

Thanks, it's a wizard handpuppet, found the pic by accident and thought it looked pretty funny.

The C9 means ret and tell the calc to return to the os or whatever called the program, that's all I know. Do you know if this inverted text flag stays set until it is unset by another program (hence if you turn the calc off/on and use text( again, it's still inverted)?

No, I've experimented with that during one of my attempts at asm, and using a calc menu resets it, and I believe turning off does too. Don't quote me on that last part.

Only way is Menu(, for example Menu("ERR:ILLEGAL NEST","Quit",1,"Goto",2)

this asm program will invert the inverse text flag every time you call it:

Code:
AsmPrgm
FDCB055E2805FDCB059EC9FDCB05DEC9


BE CAREFUL! if i made a mistake, you calc's ram will go byebye. archive really imprortant things then test it to make sure it works. if inverse text is off, it will turn it on. if it is on, it will turn it off. want one for the run indicator too?

heck, this will just turn the runindicator off (is there any reason to turn it on again?)

Code:
AsmPrgm
FDCB1286C9


remember, these are run like Asm(prgmNAME
the Asm( token is in the catalog
to make them half the size, use AsmComp(prgmNAME,prgmNAME2
AsmComp( is also in the catalog

Sometimes it's nice to know your calc is actually doing something.

Where would I put this?
Create a new program, let's say we call it INV,
Type what Darth said into it, go to the program where you'd want to use the inverted text,
Go to the place in your code where you want it to invert the text,
Type Asm(prgmINV (replace INV with whatever you named that first program I mentioned),
Done. (Keep in mind anything going wrong with assembly can couse your calc to crash, resetting your (unarchived) memory)

and can you have this in with basic?
No, basic can not do this.

i tested it, so it will only crash if i typed it into the post wrong.

i claim no responcibilty to the damages the program might cause. you are using it under your own free will

Simple

You save it in a program.

Then
Asm(prgmNAME
text(A,B,"Text Here
Asm(prgmNAME

you see.

and you cant put anything else in the program you save it as. just the AsmPrgm token and the hex following it.

well the easiest way is to do something like:

if xcoordinate and ycoordinate ='whatever you want here' then
'do code'
end

and then you do some other conditionals. The reason it might not do anything is proably because there wasn't any code under the labels and they were just templates.

That inverts the whole screen. And you have to put it in a separate program you run with Asm(prgmNAME.

code would look like this:

Code:
Output(4,1,"Merry Xmas
Asm(prgmNAME
Output(5,1,"Merry Xmas
Repeat getKey
Asm(prgmNAME
End

where prgmNAME inverts the entire screen

I did type zeros, but it did not work, and it's suppose to change the text at the top of menus from white to black.

It's supposed to turn the whole screen black, if you want only a part black you would have to write it all in asm.
Do you have an 83 or a +? It might have some of the addresses different if you use an 83.

Our stupid schools advice us to get the normal Ti83 and the plus is nowhere to be found, so pretty much the entire Netherlands are stuck with that sucky calc.

CodeX has an invert rectangle feature in the graph screen. You could maybe use that.

Aren't you getting offtopic? The discussion is about Graph Menus.
