A while back i made a pong program with the help of some people. Here's the link:
http://forums.unitedti.org/index.php?showtopic=1747
I would like to add a highscore part and store the high scored on the calculator. The only was i can think of is to store the seperate highscores into lists like dim(L1, dim(L2 etc... and have the names in seperate Str~ files. But that would take up more memory than needed, is there a highscore program or code that can store the highscores onto the calculator and keep the names and highscores stored and updateable(a new highscore by player)? I have searched and found a thread on what i was looking for but it was not exactly what i wanted... http://forums.unitedti.org/index.php?showt...3&hl=high+score |

Well you'd definitely not want a high scores with more than 10 names and stuff. Anyway, You have just enough strings (10) and you can make your own lists (LG1 LG2 etc).
To save space you can always limit the number of characters in a screen.
While Length(Str1)<1 or Length(Str1)>5
Input Str1
End
Lists you can just have them archive and then use SetupEditor to unarchive 'em. |

i would suggest making a list with for example 20 elements (5 highscores with 3 initials each) and then representing letters by numbers. There was a routine to convert text to numbers and vice versa, but i can't remember how it was. This is an example of the list HIGH:
Code:
{150; first highscore
1; letter A
23; letter W
19; letter S; means awesome :)
and so on
I think this will work, though i never tried... |

To get a high score from that list:
Code:
1->S
"_->Str1
For(I,-2,0
Str1+sub("string of all possible symbols", LHIGH(4S+I),1 -> Str1
End
LHIGH(4S-3 -> X
LHIGH is the hi-score list, S is the number of the high score, it returns the initials in Str1 (there is however a space at the beginning, you might need to edit that out) and the score is X.
To enter a hi-score to space S:
Code:
X->LHIGH(4S-3
For(I,1,3
inString("string of all possible symbols",sub(Str1,I,1 -> LHIGH(4S+I-3
End
These might need to be optimized once you put them in your own code. |
