Hi rthprog, for some reasons when I saw your nickname on latest members I was certain you alerady signed up here before so I thought to myself: "oh crap, I accidentally deleted him in a spambot account purge x.x", but then I remembered it was Reapex who had an account. Anyway welcome here ^^

Activity-wise, we normally are more focused on calc game projects while TIBD/Cemetech are more help-oriented/non-game-oriented (and UTI an hybrid of all), but it seems there have been more activity in the help forums here lately, especially since we split TI-BASIC out of the only calc help subforum we had.

Repeat max(Ans={24,25,26,34
getKey->K //You don't need to store it to K, but I usually do. :)
End

Repeat max(Ans={24,25,26,34
getKey
End
Ans-->K

Takes up an extra byte, but ought to be a bit faster

Great idea!  I'm sure this is faster when no key is pressed, but I don't know if it's faster when a key is pressed.  It's nice code, though. ;D
Edit: Oh, and because of the new-line it takes two more bytes.
Welcome here! *ZTrumpet points rthprog towards the Introduce Yourself sub forum. :)

I'm sure this is faster when no key is pressed, but I don't know if it's faster when a key is pressed.

Yeah, i see this optimization a lot actually, but i tend to shy away from it.  I don't need speed when nothing is happening :P

Either way, welcome to Omnimaga! and look out for stray lobsters O.O

Lol, okay.

@Builderboy
"I don't need speed when nothing is happening"

Good point.  In my defense, I'm somewhat used to leaving the "-->K" out altogether; often it is unnecessary to store the key at all.

That is very true :) That would be the fastest option.  Or you could be totally awesome like Weregoose and use nothing but Ans for the entire program ;D

Right, and it's fastest if you don't have to store K. ;D

Haha at the risk of actually being on topic about the movement part of this I remember seeing something about movement code at TI-BASIC Developer. It is supposedly faster than usual and deals with ⌂List. I'm not sure how it works, with my lack of knowledge of those commands, but thought I'd throw that out there haha.
