Total Posts: 612 | Ok I was wondering if there was some way to set a timer to increase by a set increment during the repeat subroutine.
For example:
To increase a variable 'A' by 1 for every repeat cycle of this
0->K:Repeat K>21 and K<22:getKey->K:End
How can I make the variable A increase by lets say .5 and then when it reaches let's 2 make it goto Lbl F.

e.g.
For(x,1,)600
End
This, however, does not correspond to a set amount of time that can be reasonably measured. If you want to pause for a second (lowest increment possible), and you're programming on an 84+/SE, you can do this:
getTime->L1
getTime->L2
Repeat L1(3)=L2(3)
getTime->L2
End
This should work reasonably well, but I make no guarantees, as I have found the 84+ series' handling of its internal clock to be quite unsatisfactory.
Edit: Wait, hold on, you're not even talking about a timer at all. If you want a variable (call it foo) to increase by .5 everytime a loop executes, just put foo = foo + .5 in the body of the loop. |

Of course, using such code inside a loop will have its consequences...

:Repeat K>21 and K<22
:getKey->K
:A+.5->A
:If A=3:21.3->K
:End
:If K=21.3:Goto LB
Something along those lines. I like While loops better. If you encompass everything in a single While loop, you can simply call the first While value and go to the top without ever having to use a Goto or Lbl.

Total Posts: 612 | thank you so much tifreak8x you're definatly going to be in the credits of all of my games and above you're name it'll say 'Help with coding issues.'. Thanks. Now I can have the proper screen from the original game in my program.
Edit: Well anything else that is said on here won't be read by me until tomorrow because I'm going to bed. Mainly because it's like 0:30 hours here.

Repeat (K>=21 and K<=22) or A>=2
getKey->K
A+.5->A
End
That will break when A gets to 2, or when 21 |

Total Posts: 419 | heh, you are right. So focused on my project I just put down the first thing I knew would work, without looking to see if it was optimizable... :P

Total Posts: 612 | Ok thanks Lunchbox. I'll optimize it.
P.S.
Is that optimizer on cementech any good. I mean I've used it thus far to see if it could be optimized.
