quadratic equation solver with moving numbers

Sounds like fun. I guess we will see in I join...... I don't know if my idea counts as "movement", but I will enter it anyways. Nevermind. I'm not in the EU. Oh well. I made a game anyways.

Regrettably I won't be doing this all though it seems fun I just don't have enough time to make anything winnable

By the way TBO, have you figured out PRIZM text wrapping with strings yet?

methinks that it would be possible to use StrLen()
check if the string is longer than the distance between the start of the string and the end of the screen(I suck at explaining stuff), and if it is, continue displaying the string in the next row

It's StrMid( and it works like sub(

I'm doing this competition for fun, not prize
