Help with calculator game

[stranger]

I was so close!

I thought I had the high score fixed. I went to the TI-Basic Developer site and looked on the section marked, guess what, Highscores. It walked me through the process, but now when I try to open up the High Score option from the Safe House, it presents and ERROR:ARGUMENT. Here's the code:

Lbl M6
Disp "High Score:",∟THIEF(1," ","Your Score:",M
Pause
Goto M0

What did I do wrong?


Also, here's a copy of the most updated game, because I've been toying with it, just trying out new things.

Your problem lies here:
Disp "High Score:",∟THIEF(1," ","Your Score:",M
You forgot to close the parenthesis, making "", "Your Score:" and M arguments of the (1) function. Your code should be:
Disp "High Score:",∟THIEF(1)," ","Your Score:",M

Btw, to get the blue text that we are using for code, do this:
[ goose ]code[/ goose ] except without the spaces.

thanks, I had been wondering about the blue. spent 10 minutes trying to hack it out before I gave up.

Finished.

A copy of the completed program for free distribution. (I got it off of the internet as freeware, so it's totally legal to take one.

Ideas for this game are always welcome, if you want to PM me or post it here, it doesn't matter. I would like to post a 1.1 or even 2.0 on the site I got it from simply to show what we do here.

Well, when I ran it, I got a DATATYPE error because THIEF didn't have anything in it. Try a 1→dim(LTHIEF after the SetupEditor

[stranger]

hmm... strange...

I put it in, but changed it to 2→dim(LTHIEF to account for the sin( security system I put in.

I was thinking of changing the doctor to just heal as much as you have money for, instead of healing you full if you have enough money for it, and sending you away if you don't have enough for a full heal, can somebody rail off the code for me?

[DarkerLine]

For the sin( security system: If you do that, make sure to add a degree or radian symbol with the sin( command. Otherwise you'll be resetting the score every time the user changes Degree or Radian mode.

:confused:
big words...

Here's what I got for the more helpful doctor:

Menu("DOCTOR","GET HEALED",GH,"BACK",M0)
Lbl GH
2000(10-H)→V
If M-V≥0
Then
10→H
M-V→M
End
If M<V
Then
(M/2000)-.5→Z:round(Z,0)→Z
H+Z→H
M-(2000Z)→M
End

[JoostinOnline]

Just a few optimizations:

Menu("DOCTOR","GET HEALED",GH,"BACK",M0
Lbl GH
2000(10-H→V
If M-V≥0
Then
10→H
M-V→M
Else
M/2000-.5→Z:int(Z→Z
H+Z→H
M-2000Z→M
End

[Weregoose]

Menu("DOCTOR","GET HEALED",GH,"BACK",M0
Lbl GH
2[font="verdana"]E3(10-H→V
If M≥Ans
Then
M-Ans→M
10→H
Else
round(.5([font="verdana"]E

He stored it v encase you need it later but the ans form will be faster.

[Weregoose]

I assumed that it was needed later on. Looking at the .8xp here just now, I've changed my mind.

You are free to take the V out, stranger, but that'd require putting some hesitation aside.

[DarkerLine]

How about replacing the entire code with this?

Lbl GH
While M≥2E3 and H<10
H+1→H
M-2E3→M
End

Sure this is suboptimal in terms of speed, but it's going to be fast enough to be unnoticeable either way (at most 9 iterations here).

[alexrudd]

If H is always an integer, which appears to be the case:

[s]If H < 10[/s] If H <=9
