Oh and one more, am I asking too many questions?

Nah, it's cool.  The more questions you ask, the more everyone learns.

True, I didn't make the connection about the difference of a number for !If .

Also, nice to hear about the looping
Has the paddle length and number of balls been taken care of as well?

Block type 10 is having major problems... 

What will that be? The C4/chain reaction block?

I really need some answers.

Is !If X-56 also an optimisation?

Yes, it is. If you want to quickly check if something's an optimization, just compare the before-and-after sizes of the exec

What if I have compound If statements? I know splitting them up saves speed, but what about space?

Same amount of space in many circumstances. That's kinda how they work anyway.

Lastly, should I be using DelVar in my save routine? I do have to overwrite the appvar every time I save...

Nope, creating a var overwrites it anyway.

We observe the mentality of pushing you in the right direction and then letting you gain some experience yourself Of course if you are totally lost or if we can give a few more pointers, we'll be happy

No thanks. My program uses too many already

yup. it just crashes my calc when it tries to return...

I think I have an idea what the problem is.  I noticed that when the ball just barely clips the corner of the block, it doesn't cause problems. So I think it may be having trouble deleting the C4 block.

Ok so when score reaches 10000 it increases the second variable? Sounds interesting. I wonder how do you display them? I think I tried such thing before and failed. File size seems pretty nice so far. Keep up the good work and I hope you can solve the issues you are having.

Well thats why it increases the second variable when it hits 10000 instead of 65535 or 60000.

Code: [Select]

:Output(4,0,S>Dec)
:If Q
:Output(0,0,Q>Dec)
:End


That's a great idea!  I've been wondering how to do this.   Thanks.

Lol I found a minor problem with that code. take 10010 for example. It'll output

1  10

so a minor modification:
:Output(4,0,Q=/=0*10000+S>Dec)
:If Q
:Output(0,0,Q>Dec)
:End
Adding 10000 forces it to display all the zeros

Feel free to use it wherever you want

You got the really blue screen?  What effect were you trying?

Glad to hear it's working.

@Darl181 I think he means test mode blue screen. The one that can damage the screen if left like that for a minute.

Well actually I'm not sure. The game exited to the os.  I pushed enter, and the whole screen became an almost-blue black.  I've never actually seen the test mode, so that might've been just contrast 64, but I was gonna pull the battery either way.

Well the problem was mostly that my inner and outer loop variables were the same.  Whenever a block was destroyed, I decremented D. That's not really the problem, though, because that'll just repeat that block, and I have protections against that. The problem is immediately AFTER my inner loop.  I set D to zero!  That tells it to repeat EVERYTHING!!!  And that most likely includes the C4 block that just got destroyed...
Endless loop.

63, 64, same thing
It was a solid screen. The blue might've been an illusion...
Either way, the problem there was I forgot to remove a set of curly braces ({}) (:

EDIT: what is MSD8x?
