Run and pray, that sounds like what happened to me. After the memory issues I had no issues and then *whambo* I got hit.

Did you have Axe 1.0.? or zStart installed when your calculator bricked itself? 

I hope this problem is solved so that no other projects are lost and no more calcs have to break

Welcome to Omnimaga!
I have heard of boxhead (a flash game, overhead dual stick shooter?)
If you could pull it off without loosing speed and create routines to make as many AI as needed, it would be an awesome calc game

Been struggling with this for a while now; the principle I'm looking for is simple and straightforward: react to the last button pressed, regardless of whatever else might be pressed or released.
So if you press '1', it perorms 'Label1' once, even if you have 2-9 held down at the same time already, or release random other buttons that were being held down before. Push the button, perform thát routine once. Nóthing more, nothing less. 
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this, but... I'm newby. 
If anyone has any tips on how to do this, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Thanks alot in advance.

What language, Axe?

For something like this in Axe, I would do:
Repeat getKey(15)
If getKey(34) and A=/=1     //getKey(34) is the one button
sub(1)
End
If getKey(26) and A =/=1   //getKey(26) is the 2 button
sub(2)
End
.Repeat If loop for getKeys# 18 (3), 35 (4), 27 (5), 19 (6), 36 (7), 28 (8), 20 (9), Then finish it with
!If getKey and A=1
0->A
End
End
Return    //Keeps the program from running the subroutines from after the Repeat loop is cancelled

Lbl 1
blah   //This should include a 1->A also, to keep from repeating
End
Lbl 2
blah    //Same here
End
.Write the rest of subroutines, make sure they have 1 ->A
It's not very optimized, but it should work

Thanks for the link

I'm thinking maybe I should write a tutorial on using 4 lvl greyscale with xLib/Celtic III/DCS7 in BASIC. Nitacku's renderer sets up the graphics well enough, but it took me a lot of time and effort to get a good looking fullscreen 4 lvl tilemapper in Hybrid BASIC.

I'm just wondering if enough people still use these libs to make writing the tutorial worth it.

I still use Celtic III, if that counts lol.

Great. If it helps even 1 person, I'm happy. I'm probably gonna cover a little more on my OS Vars Axe tutorial before I write the Hybrid BASIC one, though.

Now that I think about it, I can think of a bunch of odd things I've done with BASIC I'm tempted to make tutorials, or at least code explanations on. Things such as my homescreen scrolling tilemapper using a pic for mapdata.

That seems like an interesting tilemapper, I would have never though of something like that.  I would love to see that, especially as I'm new to tilemappers in general (just started understanding them )

I think your problem is that the pixels in the buffer are stored in bits, not bytes. A simple solution is to use the arbitrary-buffer pxl-test instruction, like so:
Pt-On(B*8,A*8,pxl-Test(A*4+B,0,Y)*8+Pic0)

I tried this, and it says Err: Argument when compiling, it says that only two arguments are needed for pxl-test(

I have been trying to take either a string or a pic (the string would only have 1 & 0s) from a Basic program and use an Axe program to display each bit as a black or white square, white for 1 and black for 0 (I know that that is backwards of normal).  [sarcasm]Using my vast knowledge of Axe[/sarcasm], all I managed to create was a program that displays random bits of garbage and a lot of black squares.

Here's what I currently have:
DiagnosticOff
GetCalc("Pic1")->Y
[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]->Pic0
[0000000000000000]

ClrDraw
For(A,0,3)
For(B,0,3)
Pt-On(8*B,8*A,{A*4+B+Y}+Pic0)
End
End
DispGraph
Repeat getKey(15)
End
The dimensions work to my knowledge, as it seems to be that garbage and black only appear in the 32x32 square that is supposed to be created
If anyone knows why it isn't just black and white 8x8 squares, help would be appreciated!

Thanks, that is exactly what I need to get started.
for the map drawing .sub(map. is it A*8 because of 8x8 tiles? Also what is {Q+B*24+P+A+GDB1} can you give me answer in depth?

I think it just locates the data located in a specific point of GBD1, so that only the data needed is displayed on the screen, and not the entire GBD1, if I'm not mistaken.

I say this because I know the {} mean to load a point in data, and it has the pointer for the data, GBD1, which says that it loads from a point inside GBD1.

I'm sure yunhua will correct me if I'm wrong, but that is my answer
