I thought I remembered reading somewhere about how to do to 2 things, say showing a clock and waiting for input, at the same time, but now i cant seem to find it, how do i do this?

Evilcatt09,

Well, if by input, you mean using the input command, then no, you cannot show an animated clock and accept input from the user at the same time. This is because as soon as the input command appears in code, the program is paused completely, until the user presses the enter key.

However, there are other ways to get the input from the user, albeit a few of your own functions along with some other DarkBasic commands. If you have DarkBasic Classic Enhanced, you can use the entry$() command, along with clear entry buffer and scancode() commands to create the same effect as the input command, but without the pause.
