It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |

Total Posts: 144 | Hi I'm the guy who is making the game with him. I was wondering how you create a matrix and then get information out of it. I know how to use lists, but my experiments with matrixes so far haven't worked. Any help would be appreciated. |

If your just storing vars then I would go with a list or a string
I don't like matrix s very much, all I use them for is maps.

To retrieve an element out of a matrix, use this syntax:[A-J](row,column) If you're familiar with the Output( command, this is very similar.
Everything else is under the Matrix menu ([2ND],[MATH]).

Total Posts: 144 | I need to make a map where you can move around and if you go on a predetermined spot something happens. I could do it with some If and And commands but those are slow. A matrix would probably solve this problem. But I don't know how to use them as stated above. If their is a way to do this I don't know it....yet. Any help to speed the process of lessening my ignorance would be appreciated. |

Total Posts: 1111 | Here's a program that loops until a user-controlled character runs into a space already occupied in [A]:
DelVar [A] ;gets rid of previous [A], if it exists
{10,18}→dim([A]) ;It also fills up undefined spaces with zeros
For(C,2,9)
1→[A](A,1)
1→[A](A,18)
End
For(C,2,17)
1→[A](1,A)
1→[A](10,A)
End
For(C,1,10
randInt(2,9→A ;(bounds homescreen rows)+1
randInt(2,17→B ;(bounds of homescreen columns)+1
1→[A](A,B)
End
ClrHome
0→[A](1,1)
For(A,1,8) ;fills up [A] and homescreen with stuff
For(B,1,16)
If [A](A+1,B+1)
Output(A,B,"O"
End
End
1→A
1→B
1→D
1→E
Repeat [A](A+1,B+1) ;loop until you hit something
Output(D,E," ")
Output(A,B,"A")
A→D
B→E
getKey→C
A-(C=25)+(C=34)→A ;keep in mind that a true condition=1
B-(C=24)+(C=26)→B
End
ClrHome
Disp "WELL, YOU DIED.

Total Posts: 144 | Something is wrong with my calculator. When I type this in on the home screen, a syntax error appears with the cursor on the first square bracket.
{2,2}->dim([A])
And yes I have a TI-83 Plus.
Also another thing I have never found out is how to make a point on a graph be displayed by imputing the data on the Y= screen. I can only make lines.

That should be [A], the matrix. ( [2nd] MATRX ENTER ).... it's not 3 characters, it's 1.

Total Posts: 144 | I finished playing with the program that haveacalc posted up above. It works ok except that you die when you step on the space to the direct bottem right of the O and steping on the Os erases them.
Although if you change the line
Output(A,B,"O")
to
Output(A+1,B+1,"O")
it works. But some of the Os are off the screen causing an error so you have to change the For statements right above the Output line to reflect that.
Also I love the way you erased the tail that would have formed on the A other wise. |

Total Posts: 1111 | Whoops. :D The problem was at Repeat. It should have read "Repeat [A](A+1,B+1)". Also, if you care, I left out another part that prevents domain errors (it surrounds the matrix in 1's). I edited my post, so both problems are fixed.

Total Posts: 144 | yeah it would probably help if I knew how to fill a whole row or column with 1s. I was also wondering if you could put a few 2s randomly into the matrix and it would display an X.Then when you step on one you get a point or something. |

Total Posts: 27 | hello once again, i need to know something. if i display an "O" (representing an obstacle) on the screen and a move towards it from the right i would then add one to Y so that i stay in the same place and not move onto it, but how can i make it so that when i move onto it from above it will add 1 to X so that i appear to stay in the same place. how can i make something so that you can move at it from several differant directions but still remain in the same spot previously ocupied. and how do you make save slots or whatever. also does anyone know of any websites that are good for explaining and teaching basic. |
