It's very important to realize that it's extremely hard to ever create a 'random' number in computers.  Computers don't do random. 

Instead, the next best alternative is creating 'pseudo-random' numbers -- numbers, that on the surface, seem random, but are actually determined by a complex formula.

The seed is the initial value that you are feeding the 'rand' function.  The calculator (and all random-number-generators) takes the seed, and feeds it into a complex function that will output a pseudo-random number.  It then takes that pseudo-random number and feeds it back into the rand function the next time it is called.

You can exploit this effect: if you constantly store the same seed, the output value will be identical each time.


tl;dr:
You can't do random numbers on computers, instead, you feed a function a seed number, and it transforms that seed into something that's random enough.

Don't worry about IRC -- when you get 40 posts, you'll see it.  You can't miss it.  It's invisible right now.

Add a 'Pause 1000' -- that should pause it briefly.

Also, don't forget to close your parentesis and quotation mark.

Do this:
.HELLO
Disp("HELLO")
Pause 1000

Do not do this:
.HELLO
Disp("HELLO
Pause 1000


You have to run asm(pgrmHELLO) -- the name at the top after the period is the new name of the program.

So let's say you make a program named "TEST" and you type in:

.HELLO
Disp "Hello"

The program you select in Axe is 'TEST', and the program that you run on the homescreen is 'HELLO'.

To find Freq(, click [STAT], [RIGHT ARROW].  Scroll down.

You can find Freq( under S.

What Axe does is that it takes the tokens you normally use, and temporarily transforms them.

Okay, stop.

First, get out of the app, then go to the memory menu and clear your ram (don't forget to archive programs you want to keep).

Then, copy the code you were writing here and let us look at it.

I wonder if this engine could be used for a pseudo-3D game... When I look at the screenshots I think GTA.

I'm afraid that currently, my engine is too slow for much of anything.
I've optimized it as much as I know how, but it's too slow inherently: I'm probably going to have to redo most of it.

Just realized it's a lot like this game: http://www.addictinggames.com/arcade-games/find-exit-game.jsp

Maybe try porting it?

I'm behind a filter: what's the game like?
Is there an equivalent version for android phones floating around?
Is there a youtube video somewhere?
