ACagliano, your response checks every box! I really appreciate your contributions in your post! As for the health bars, i was working it out and found how to display variables so no problem! Text health has already been sorted out. you can visit the topic and see the progress i have made on the ti-nspire here: http://ourl.ca/7009.new#new you may also like to know that i will be releasing a tutorial also soon. Well done on your pokemon game. [rated up post]

edit: coming back, i haven't actually got the quick scrolling down text and visual health bar on my program but i believe it is possible.

Don't worry too much about it. I think the best thing to do is to move on from the whole code issue and it should be fine. Unfortunately text is not a good way to transmit how someone feel
