Use a list.
Say L1 = {1,3,0,7}
That could mean that you've got 1 bomb, 3 red potions, 0 magic gems, and 7 arrows. |

dim explained:
If you want a lsit to contain X elements, you can use dim to make it so:
X->dim(L1)
Similarly, you can check how many elements a lsit has, for example:
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}->L1
Disp dim(L1) //this would display how many elements there are in L1, 8 in this case
You can use also use strings, matrices, or even normal variables (A-Ø) to store an inventory to, but lists and strings are the best. |

| Outa curiosity, would it be possible to make the program recognize the string and load the proper functions for example "game save" for an rpg or a game? Im not making any just wonderin' because i make BASIC basic programs and that would be useful if u want to give an option for the user to save settings if the program had any...?!? |

like this?
Code:
If L1 //check for L1
Then
If L1(1)=1 //saved game if 1
Goto CO //goto the place to continue the game, the way i am doing it, I have another var for location, like map 1 is LSTAT(14)=1 etc and it goes there instead.
End
Note: save points are a bad idea! noone has the time, i believe, to find a save point, it was a big fall of the final fantasy games and should not be emulated!

well:
Code:
//user wants to save
A->LSAVE(1 //lets say this is how much life the guy has, can never be 0 (at least the user wont be able to save with it being 0, as the game will run the necissary restart stuff)
B->LSAVE(2
//continue to save vars to the list, lets say we save 8 vars
Stop //quit the program
then put this at the front:
Code:
8->dim(LSAVE
If LSAVE(1 //remember, life has to be non zero at time of save
Then
LSAVE(1->A
LSAVE(2->B
//restore all vars and jump to main routine
End
//startup routine here (splash screen, etc)

| I made my game so that it always makes a new list every time you run it and whenever you saved a game it unarchived the save list, saved it, then rearchived it. It will never save unless you save it and if your ram gets cleared, you still have your save file. The program will create the lists at the start of the game, but it kinda gets confused if you manually delete the lists. |
