Finally, after months (ok maybe about 2 weeks) of hard work, I have almost finished my Petals around the Rose game for TI-86 and am looking to fix some bugs... the only problem in the game is my list of all the ppl that have finished the game which is giving me grief... I try to convert the letters into numbers in a list (A=1 B=2 and so on) and it does it fine, but when i want to undo it (display the names...) it takes forever... any suggestions?
I'll have it to download soon... i just have to manually type it into my computer cuz mi link cable is broken
Um... What is this game? How does it run?
From what I'm understanding your game is NOT the "petals around the rose" puzzle, but something else.
Sorry, I need to make myself clearer... it is THE PETALS AROUND THE ROSE game... you know, the one with the five dice and the answer no one can find... i wanted to make something like a high score table... announcing your name and how many tries it took you to get the answer
Well, I would reconsider the algorithm that you are using. Perhaps it is not as efficient as you think. That's all that I can say due to the limited information that you're giving me...
that's fine, i'll think of myself, sorry
Try using the substring function on the alphabet. It's sub( on the 83/84+, but I'm not sure what the syntax for it is on the 86. Also, try checking the TI-Freakware forums for answer. They are much better.
Here is Petals Around the Rose...
first, you must do 0-> dimL PARL (sorry...)
PAR
I typed it manually into my computer from my calc so there might be syntax errors... ... ...
