I'm having a little trouble with my scrolling program. I want it to have a name bounce around on the screen. Like in pong the way it bounces of the slide but for text. This is the code i've compiled but it don't work...what am i doing wrong?
Code:
ClrHome
2->Y // Sets the A-Axis
2->X // Sets the X-Axis
1->B // Sets the Y-Axis for the "trail clearer"
1->A // Sets the X-Axis for the "trail clearer"
0->K
Lbl 1
Output(B,A," " // 4 spaces
Output(Y,X,"TEXT" // the text that moves around the screen
X+1->X:Y+1->Y // Moves the text
B+1->B:A+1->A // Moves the text
If X>13:X-1->X // Sets the parameters
If X<1:X+1->X // Sets the parameters
If Y>8:Y-1->Y // Sets the parameters
If Y<1:Y+1->Y // Sets the parameters
If A>13:A-1->A // Sets the parameters
If A<1:A+1->A // Sets the parameters
If B>8:B-1->B
If B<1:B+1->B // Sets the parameters
While K=0
GetKey->K
While K (not equal to) 22 // If Mode has not been pressed, loops again...
Goto 1
What am I doing wrong?

| did you put the end statements? and why don't you loop the code instead of putting a 'goto 1' |

I modified it slightly cuz i got an error:
changed -B->B to B-1->B and -A->A to A-1->A
Than i got this when the "text" hit to the top:
ERR:DOMAIN at Output(Y,X,"Text".
I'm looking into the problem but if anyone can help me fix it it would be greatly appreciated:
Code:
Current Code:
ClrHome
2->Y:2->X
1->B:1->A
Repeat K=22
Output(Y,X,"four spaces
If Y=1 or Y=8
B-1->B
If X=1 or X=13
A-1->A
Y+B->Y
X+A->X
Output(Y,X,"TEXT
For(N,0,50
End
getKey->K
End

Code:
3->C //length of text - 1, must be less than 16
1->A
1->B //set up starting coords
1->D
1->E //set up direction
Repeat getKey=22 //wait for a certain key, [mode]
Output(A,B,"TEXT
D(A>1 and A<8)+(A=1)-(A=8->D
E(B>1 and B+C<16)=(B=1)-(B+C=16->E
Output(A,B,"(number of spaces in TEXT, 4 in this case)
A+D->A
B+E->B
End
i just finished my pong game, so anything regarding making something bounce off the walls of the screen should be routed to me 
works like a charm. have fun!

| You might want to stick to If statements so the noobs can understand. |

Well most newbies put the code in even if they don't understand how it works. But i like to understand what the strings functions and stuff are. Only so i don't have to keep coming back to here. Only makes sence to learn what and why people coded it the way they did. But i like to stick to if then statements if at all possble. Only cuz it simpler. I used the If statements but im holding on to this code for later when i understand it better and change the code...
The RED are the strings i don't understand
[CODE]3->C //length of text - 1, must be less than 16
1->A
1->B //set up starting coords
1->D
1->E //set up direction
Repeat getKey=22 //wait for a certain key, [mode]
Output(A,B,"TEXT
D(A>1 and A<+(A=1)-(A=8->D
E(B>1 and B+C<16)=(B=1)-(B+C=16->E
Output(A,B,"(number of spaces in TEXT, 4 in this case)
A+D->A
B+E->B
End
GetKey->K forgot to add that Arcane, but please correct me if im wrong
End

I wouldn't call them strings if I where you, very confusing. :)
D(A>1 and A<+(A=1)-(A=8->D
This is using boolean logic (use the search function of the forum to find a good thread about it).
A>1 returns 1 if A is more than 1 and 0 if not
A<8 returns 1 if A is less than 8 and 0 if not
and compares the values returned by A>1 and A<8, if they are both 1, it returns 1.
So, if A is more than 1 and A is less than 8, (A>1 and A> returns 1.
Next, we simply multiply this by D so that if A is more than 7 and less than 2 (the coordinates go of the screen), it becomes 0, where we add the direction to go (bounce) to.
If A is 1, we need the vertical direction (represented by D) to become 1, if A is 8 we need it to become -1 so when we add it to the current position it moves in the right direction.
So, let's say A=8
(A>1 and A< returns 0, because not both A>1 and A<8 are true (return 1)
we mutiply D by 0, so we now have 0 where we add what's after the + sign...
(A=1) returns 0, so we add nothing so far..
But wait! A=8 returns 1, so we decrease (yes, that's a -) the 0 by 1 (since 1 is what's returned by A= and all we have left to do is store it to D.
Later, when we want to change the vertical coordinate of the object, we add D to it.
A+D->A
D is -1, so what we do is decrease A by 1, which moves the object up.
Same thing happens to E and B only E represents horizontal movement and B the horizontal coordinate of the object.

You probably wouldn't want to put that there because it would make it near impossible for the Repeat getKey=22 to end. |

Actually, it doesn't influence the Repeat getKey=22 line at all.

| Well, I think it does because it comes right before it and theres not enough time to press the key between the 2 checks of the getkey. |

Come to think of it, getkey=22 is impossible, funny how we all missed that  . And you don't need that second end.
3->C //length of text - 1, must be less than 16
1->A
1->B //set up starting coords
1->D
1->E //set up direction
Repeat Ans=22 //wait for a certain key, [mode]
Output(A,B,"TEXT
D(A>1 and A<+(A=1)-(A=8->D
E(B>1 and B+C<16)=(B=1)-(B+C=16->E
Output(A,B,"(number of spaces in TEXT, 4 in this case)
A+D->A
B+E->B
getKey
End
If Ans=22:Disp "YOU PRESSED MODE TO EXIT THE LOOP! HOW COULD YOU!

| As a loop condition it's impossible for Arcane to figure out how it works. I think that's what he means. |

Nope, Repeat getKey=22 doesn't work, nor will While getKey=# ir if getKey=# it just doesn't work.
Quote: As a loop condition it's impossible for Arcane to figure out how it works. I think that's what he means. Nope.
Quote: Figure out how it works? What is there to figure out? Exactly.
Check the manual, it clearly states that you can only use getkey with ans or another variable and can't check it directly unless you're going for true or false like in Repeat getKey.
Works:
Repeat getKey
While getKey
If getKey
Doesn't Works:
Repeat getKey=#
While getKey=#
If getKey=#

actually, in the TI manual, dont they use this? :
Code:
While getKey<>0
End
im not sure if they actually do this (prolly just my halucinations), but i know it works (ive used it i believe)
cant you? maybe im wrong (happens a lot) |

I'm starting to freak myself out, I am absolutely 100% positive of being able to recall reading a paragraph in the manual explaining getKey=# would not work. I can even recall where on the page this paragraph was, and how the general layout of the page looked like (paragraph size an such).
I went to look for it so I could quote it here, but to no avail. I then looked for some batteries, put them in my calc, and checked if Repeat getKey=21 worked, to my surprise it did.

lol, you are going crazy, I told you it works.
Quote: While getKey<>0
End
That wouldn't work, it would exit as soon as you start it. |
