Does anyone know how to display something thats only there sometimes on a calculator? I cant figure it out! (I use BASIC) Also, how do you unarchive a subprogram within a program using BASIC?

And for (un)archiving prgms, you can't do it in pure BASIC. Most libs (including DCS) support it in a way by copying the program to a place in RAM so you can run it.
You could also use a short ASM subprogram to do it for you.
xLib has a function to copy a program in the archive to a temporary program to run in the ram. The first part, no Earthly idea what you meant, sorry.
Same with everyone here, what the heck did you mean? you can not make a very vague statement and expect us to know an answer

Use real(10...) to copy a subprogram to RAM from Archive. As with the rest of the gang, though, I'm quite confused by your first question. Are you asking how to do conditional statement (that is, If (something is true) then (display something) otherwise (display something else)) ?

I am too lazy to actually make my own post so instead I quote people and then don't say anything newdragon1414@att.net / Google and Yahoo E-Mail

We'll have to wait to see what he has to say:
@Qazz42: No need to sound so annoyed.
Since he's a newbie, we'll have to train him to ask better questions.
He might mean dealing with, for example, lists or strings that aren't always there. Like how to read a string that might not be there, but not to error if the string isn't there.

That would make a lot of sense too, and we could certainly teach him how to do that. So you think he means "Does anyone know how to display (a string, etc) thats only there sometimes on a calculator?" I could certainly believe that. Deep Thought wrote:

I don't know ASM and like if you want to put in a character. It wasn't there to begin with, but a person playing can add one.

Yes, pretty much.

I'm confused what do you put in the brackets after the command real( ? and yes to your second question. Like starting off with just a gameboard, and if you pay money, you get a character, which appears on your screen. I'm not quite sure how to explain.

Sorry.
bspymaster, to answer your questions with further questions:
(1) How do you put which brackets after real(...)? If you're asking for the real(10) syntax, please read this: http://dcs.cemetech.net/index.php?title=Third-Party_BASIC_Libraries
(2) You'll need a variable (or list) to represent what character the character has picked, or none. It sounds like me like you need to start smaller in terms of learning TI-BASIC.

I probably should...
Yep, I just checked the site you told me to go to KermMartian, and I have no idea what it was talking about. FYI: I tought myself BASIC in september this year, and am WAY overambitious.
Edit: Please don't double post.
Actually, xLib for some reason doesn't work on my calculator. I select install, but when you try to use it, the program acts as though it's not installed. hrm...

Do you have DCS? If you do, there is no reason to have the xLib app on your calculator.
Edit: Oh yeah, don't double post.
