use strings and covert numbers to strings
then use the text command
inside your main loop
a$=str$(number)
do
text 50,50,a$
sync
loop
if you use the input command it will stop your loop/program
until you input your data
if you want to do other things while your inputting data
there is a code and function in the code snippets you could use
or you could use what i made or make your own
sync on
sync rate 0
backdrop on
color backdrop 1
CLEAR ENTRY BUFFER
sync
do
a$= ENTRY$()
CLEAR ENTRY BUFFER
`it will register a tab so i had to disable that key
if 9=ASC(a$) then a$="q"
if 13=ASC(a$) then goto done
if 8=ASC(a$)
aa#=LEN(typed$)
aa$=left$(typed$,aa#-1)
ink rgb(0,0,0),0
text 50,50,typed$
ink rgb(250,250,250),0
typed$=aa$
else
typed$=typed$+a$
endif
ink rgb(250,250,250),0
text 50,50,typed$
sync
loop
done:
print "done"
sync
wait key
in order to see your text you have to put it in your loop or if you have sync on, before your sync
officially
according to the experts you shouldn't print or text directly to the screen?
you should
pseudo-code
do
set current bitmap 1
text or print data
set current bitmap 0
loop
i'm not sure why, but that is what they keep saying (-:
i hope it helps
My advice is free -
unfortunately you get what you pay for (-:
