| I making a Risk game and the rules I have on every screen have horizontal -10 and also 10 and vertical 10 and -10. Is there away you can store this to something so you can recall it without having to have to put those same four commands on every screen? |

Use ZStandard. It does all the commands you mentioned. You can also try ZoomSto and ZoomRcl to restore the gamer's original settings.

I think he means dra a horizontal line at -10 and 10, then a vertical at -10 and 10.
As far as I can think right now you can't, but I might be forgetting something obvious.

| I see. So you're using it like a pictureframe effect? |

You could use a pic.
ClrDraw
Horizontal -10
Horizontal 10
Vertical -10
Vertical 10
StorePic 1
Now, whenever you want to draw those lines, just use:
RecallPic 1
Enjoy. |

767. And I don't see anything wrong with just drawing those lines each time. |

| I just though there could have been a memory saver to shorten the code. |

| Other than making another program to draw the four lines and calling it as a subprogram all the time, nothing I can think of. |

| Why are people obsessed with using OTHER programs as subroutines when it's just as simple to put the subroutines in the main program? |

Ordinarilly I'm all for that, but if he needs this frame very many times it starts to get a little silly to use an internal subroutine kludge. |

Put it in another program then when you want to put it in, press 2nd Rcl, prgm, left, then pick the prog and press enter twice. |

It would start to take more lines of code than it's worth, at least the way I do internal subroutines on a TI-8x calculator. Maybe there's a better method than anything I've been able to come up with. |

| In BASIC internal subroutines are a bad idea. You should really use external ones. |

| But that makes things messy, you should really just make it in ASM. |

| Subroutines aren't bad... I used them when I programmed BASIC, sure they're a little bit slower so if you're trying a game thats processor - intensve and a speed freak, then no I don't reccommend it |

The way I use subroutines it doesn't matter if you put them in another program or in the one that calls them.
And subroutines are great, just don't use them in the middle of game loops. |
