3 Questions
« on: June 02, 2010, 04:50:18 pm »
1. Is there a way to do string comparisons besides using For loops and checking each byte?
2. Is there a way to store strings into the Ans variable?
3. I use the CalcUtil app so I can run programs from the program menu.  When I run programs, sometimes they will require the Enter key to exit, but I have to barely tap the enter key or else it runs the program again.  Or, if I have to press mode, it brings up the mode menu.  Is there a way to stop this (in Axe program source)?

1) No
2) No
3) Yes. :)  You can add a loop at the end that keeps looping while you have a key pressed down, so when the program ends no key is pressed.  This loop would look like:
While getKey(0)
End

Good luck on your programs! :D

The first two might be implemented eventually, making them "not yet"s (first one with CPIR as the underlying op-code, the second one much more likely than the first when Quigibo finally gets around to implementing more support for TI-OS variables.)

Also, in games, I advise against using the ENTER key, because most people prefer when all game controls are at the top of the calc. Usually you'll have 2nd instead of ENTER and ALPHA instead of (-). CLEAR is used often for exiting, though.
