Total Posts: 15 | There is a topic further down about Getkey programs. I'm new to programming and I was just wondering what they were for. I was going to respond to it but its been locked. Right now I only do basic, and I don't even know most of that, so I really know very little. Thanks in advance.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |

So its a little like lbl/goto, only its to a certain button, as opposed to a menu selection.
Thanks guys. |

Total Posts: 375 | yes its a variable, so u would use getkey->X
and then X is the number for the key pressed
how this relates to menu selections and lbl/gotos i dont see
if you think that when u press a key, that the calc automatically goes to a lbl with the matching key #, it doesn't |

Total Posts: 15 | No, like as in, when you make a Menu, the numbers follow the option, and then you lbl that number and add something, and when you push the number to select while running the program, it goes where ever you labeled it to go on that number.
Such as this, to where you push a button, such as 2nd, it does something, such as "shoot".
I didn't mean direct relation, more distant. Or maybe I just misunderstand the getkey thing. |

Total Posts: 375 | no u got it, i just see it as less of a link as u do, but that is a good way of doing it
but u understand second doesn't "shoot" until you put the commands
:getkey->K
:If K=21 (# for 2nd key)
:SHOOT (or w/e) |

Total Posts: 375 | kk not insulting your intelligence or anything, just saying that b/w getkey u need more commands, b/w gotos/lbls u don't need extra commands, thats my view |

Total Posts: 15 | Thats true, I never thought of it that way. I was more thinking of the function. They both do something that furthers you into the program.
