Is there a way to slow down shade so it could look like when you run a game it would load across slowly and there would be words at the bottom that would change for instance saying Loading menus, scenery, texture and so forth as a black bar crosses the screen?

Can you please tell me what kind of program requires: A ticker, a timer, shade, inverted text, boxes with options, fractions, a copyright, and a password?
Also I hope you know with all of those, your program's gonna run really slow.

I don't hope his project turns out bad, I'm just wondering why he has to ask how to do everything. Part of programming is experience and learning how to do things on your own. You don't learn anything using everyone else's codes. Plus, he said he'd try to learn ASM if someone would teach him how and then he's been given tutorials but yet he has no threads in the ASM forums.

Not necessarily, he's not going to do them all at once. And you forgot about scenery and texture. I don't think this will be very small either.

Yes there is! Just use a delay like a for loop to slow down the drawing of a line or (better) have a little routine that calculates where to draw the line (how far on the progress bar) compared to where it should be when it has finished everything.

Example of the latter:

Output(1,0,"LOADING:
"Levels 1-100"->Str0
For(X,1,250)
randInt(1,10)->L1(X) //load random value into L1(X could befor a random map generator for example
X(16/250)+(X=0) //calculate where to update the progress bar, the X(16/250 makes the 16 x coordinates on te homescreen be relative to 250 and the +(X=0 makes it so it doesn't try to draw stuff at 5,0 which is impossible on the homescreen
Output(5,Ans,"-") //update progress bar
If X>100:"LEVELS 101-200"->Str0
If X>200:"FINALS LEVELS"->Str0
Output(8,0,Str0)
End

Yes, I know it's unoptimized

He doesn't mean the shading function, he means the shading effect you get when drawing a lot of lines in succession. (right, newbie?)

Yes, thats what I meant.

See, there's these things called search engines. And one of them is google. And google lets you install this thing called a google toolbar. This toolbar has this option called "Search site", which does just what you would think. And the really amazing thing is when you type TI-83 Plus Assembly in 28 Days, and click on this option, these things come up called search results. And they all happen to be about TI-83 Plus Assembly in 28 Days. Cool, isn't it?

cool

The best way to say something is neat-o, awesome, or swell. The phrase "cool" is very relaxed, never goes out of style, and people will never laugh at you for using it, very conveniant for people like me who don't care about what's "in."

Homestar is cool.
The Red Sox are cool.
Twinkies are cool.
Search functions = cool.

Now, talk about shades and not wether you being too lazy to search for things yourself is cool or searching is cool.
