or set some vars and reuse them throughout your code:

Quote: "

iCenterX As Integer = screen width / 2
iCenterY As Integer = screen height / 2

set cursor iCenterX,iCenterY
input "Your name: ",name$
text iCenterX,iCenterY + 50,name$
wait key

"


instead of embedding the function call everywhere you need x/y centers
