If you read this, I am just using this thread to upload my files. It's so much easier that way.


Time is money. I just ripped you off.

there isn't a built-in backspace function but it's easy to do using the keystate() command.

use scancode() to find what key number backspace is; I'll use 14 as I think that's what it is, but I could be wrong.
Then use keystate(14) to detect key 14.

It is far better to complete a 10 line program than to start a 10,000 line program.

Thanks as always Obese.

Yes it's 14.

It's far better to write a funny signature then to write one of lines.

here, backspace function (just made it right now, untested)



This is an utterly useless function, as you could just use keystate(14) but many people have asked about it so it is done.

Ever notice how in Microsoft word, the word "microsoft" is auto corrected to be "Microsoft" but "macintosh" just gets the dumb red underline?

It works in DBC.

Enjoy your day.

I don't that the mistake means that he doesn't have any experience, I make it all the time too. It's probably because other languages use return in their functions.

I think he's talking about a language other than DBC. DBP perhaps?
