You can almost always replace Lbl/Goto with either some kind of loop or and If:Then:Else statement.  The TI-BASIC Developer is a great resource for BASIC programming.  You should check it out ;D

Yeah it's just better to not use them at all.

Avoid gotos at all cost, save yourself!
On this I must disagree with you guys.  However rare, there are instances where Lbl/Goto is better than the other options.  In Chip's Challenge, calling the engine from another program or embedding the engine within a loop was leading to a 40% decrease in speed (this does not mean a Goto is used while running the game, but after you win/lose I use a Goto to get back to level selection).  When you use a Goto, the BASIC parser starts searching for the corresponding label from the top of the program, meaning in most cases it's significantly slower than a loop.  As long as you use Lbl/Goto carefully and correctly memory errors are easily avoidable (but still, don't use them unless you absolutely have to!).

And welcome to Omnimaga and good luck on your game skuller972  ;D

ok i made a pretty durable subrogram that outputs wordwrap text using instring for backslashes and also has a pause feature that says "pressenter" and flickers and this takes the previousmans for the string so it works in more programs than one

Nice. It's always good to come up with quick/easy ways to do something that would normally take a lot of space up.

yeah and it means that you can customize the program to fit your needs. i might even make like a editing guide which defines all of the variables and whatnot

Don't use omnicalc for ram recoveries use groups frequently to make temp back-ups then use ti-connect to make perm back-ups.
This is something that can happen if you rely on groups too much though.

Aw this sucks, I hate when this happens. In the future, make sure to back up frequently, because we never know what may happen. I give this advice for both BASIC and ASM, pure or not. Some people might not know but it's possible to get a memory loss with no ASM code, even with fresh new batteries and not pulling them out while game is running. Thanks to some TI-OS bugs

With my current project, for now I am on the process to switch to a differen ASM program because it messes up with grouping functions and the game crashes after I did group backup.

I do hope you start a new game soon, though

Yeah this is what killed Illusiat 2002, when it was 70% complete and taking 59 KB of memory. I think i was about to finish chapter 3 (out of 5).

We should make a list of times/programs deleted due to not backing up..It would be huge! I just hope people will be able to learn from others..
