Use the Pause(EXP) command every now and again. But, I don't think you can do it accurately...

u could use an interrupt to update the screen, and do a 'Stop' every time you updated the buffer.
Quote from: Documentation
Stop:Stops execution until the next interrupt occurs. Interrupts must be enabled or else the calculator will freeze.
everytime that I was down, you would always come around, and get my feedback on the ground. (modified part from 'Seasons in the sun')

No matter how many errors are bothering you, always try to stay rel-Axe!

Another solution if you aren't using interrupts is to make sure DispGraph is only ran like every 2 or 3 loop. If slowed down too much it can make the game a bit too fast, though, so you may have to add a Pause command or stuff more features there.

DO NOT USE STOP WITHIN AN INTERRUPT!
This would be bad.  Interrupt code turns OFF interrupts upon executing.

The calc would hang and you would have to pull a battery.

Back to your original problem, interrupts would probably be the way to go.
An example:
Code: [Select]
0->C->X
ClrHome
fnInt(T,0
Repeat getKey(0)
!If C
Disp X+1->X>Dec
50->C
End
End
Return
Lbl T
C-1->C
(Untested, should work)
Edit: Oops, wrote getKey instead of getKey(0). Fixed.
Edit 2: Bad typo. Fixed

And it crashes horribly... You get the idea, though.
