Total Posts: 8 | Heh. I've seen a couple of programs on ticalc.org that will give the number of pressed keys. one says "Great for programmers!"
Can't people just do it manually (ie. row-column configuration) and not waste 5kb or whatever on a pre-made program to tell them something they could find out on their own?
PS. If you don't know how to identify button keycodes, use the row-column trick (if the button is in the tenth row [bottom] and it the third one in that row, its number is 105. if it's in the first row and is the fourth one, it's 14. etc etc).
But whatever. that's just my opinion

Total Posts: 8 | but it's actually not that hard. it's just a few commands (like "getkey->K" "if K=45:stop" etc. etc.)
Why would someone need a premade program to help them figure out the number when it's so simple?

Exactly. People think they're ubersmart because they can copy a simple code.

A as the x-coordinate, and B as the y-coordinate, K for keypress
30->A ;sets initial values
-30->B
Lbl 1
While K=0 ;repeats until key is pressed
getkey->K
End
A->C ;stores old coordinates
B->D
(A-(K=24)+(K=26))->A ;uses keypress
(B-(K=25)+(K=34))->B
Pt-On(A,B ;shows position
Pt-Off(C,D ;deletes old position
0->K
Goto 1 ;repeats the label
End
For this to work, set Ymin to -62, Ymax to 0, Xmin to 0, and Xmax to 94
Let me know if it was helpful

Also me2, thanks for reiterating the point of the topic. Lots of people make useless programs that show someone how to do something that would take 10 seconds to figure out.

It's easy to pick up Nikky's sarcasm. Every other thing he says is sarcastic.
I've always kinda wondered why the getkey #s are the way they are. Like, why is Y= key #11 when it could be 1, and each number numerically in order? I'm guessing it's just hardware, or just because it's easier to figure out the keys when the first number corresponds with the rows.

Or you can have something spiffy like that :P Makes it so even the brain dead *coughdspcough* can understand getkey. :D

Total Posts: 235 | Yes some programs on websites such as this are of no use to advanced programmers but can help one that are just trying to get started. One of my first "game" programs was when a friends wrote "x-man" on my calculator really quick to help me learn. I studied the code and figured out how it all worked (then improved on it) and my method of learning new things hasn't changed much.
1. Find working code
2. Identify what commands do what
3. Tweak code to make sure you understand it
4. Write your own from scratch and make it Harder, better, faster, stronger (No I am NOT a Kanye Wast fan i listened to the original :))
