ON 68k and Nspire the boxes that appears when using Input ruins everything...


Nspire has a form of input? :o How do I use it? I was trying to find a command for it, but none of the 83+ style input commands (Prompt , Input , getKey, etc.) existed.
It was added in OS 2.0. I forgot the command name and syntax, though.

On the Nspire, you can use the Request or RequestStr (I think) command for input.  The syntax for both is:

Request [Text to display in dialog box (string)],[Variable you want to store it to (variable)]

Also, this will only work on OS 2.0 and above, as stated earlier

Really? Finally, a real form of input! Thanks!

Sadly, no getkey support yet :/

The good news, though, is that now we can have some forms of turn-based games. It just looks ugly when you can't have an input function that works like Command Prompt instead of a window/alert popping up. Basically, no Illusiat 81 :/

Btw, anyone knows if that input function redirects to the home screen or something when used? If for example someone displays a tilemap made of pixels and line commands, will using the input function switch to another view?
