I am trying to create a DOS-style text based command interface and I cannot organize it correctly. How would one go about doing this? |

First bit of your code is inefficient. Its better to convert the input into lower case then you don't have to worry about users typing in capitals. Also, your Command() function is calling itself if the user types anything other than "notify". Using recursion like that is setting you up for a stack overflow. Repeat Command$=Lower(Input$("/cmd>")) Parse(Command$) Forever Function Parse(txt$) Select txt$ Case "notify" cmd=1 Default RuntimeError("Command not recognised") End Select End Function |

whoa, dude thanks. now I know how to do window-based programs and parser-based ones. You are a total lifesaver. Just another question: i am trying to access those cool symbols that the console font used in the old days to make false text based graphics, such as charts out of block symbols. I don't know how to find these symbols character code, do you know where to find the default blitzcc/console/DOS font? |
| ||
For the font, you could try 'FixedSys' or 'Terminal'. Or any other fixed width font. For the symbols, you'll be wanting an extended ASCII chart |
| ||
GfK, what code (i think its Chr($) or something) would you use to input the extended ASCII on that chart? and what would you use, the hexidecimal or the other code? P.S. what is the console equivalent of Cls? and how do you apply a font w/o going into graphics mode? |
| ||
Yes - type chr$() with the decimal value in the brackets. You might be able to use hex - never tried it - because the decimal values are alongside the characters, so converting to hex would be unnecessary. |

How is being a geek a [i]bad[i] thing... P.S. i did some code ;---------------------------------------------------------- doyou$=Input$("What do you want the title at the top to be? (Max 20 characters): ") spaces=20-Len(doyou$) spaces/2=spacesleft Print spacesleft ;---------------------------------------------------------- to center some text, and when i use / for a division symbol, it says "expecting end-of-file". Am I using the wrong symbol? |

How is being a geek a [i]bad[i] thing... That's not it. You are calling people geeks. That's the bad thing. |
