A program using a procedure to roll dice for a game. Some examples: results=rollDice["3D6"] results=rollDice["2D6+6"] results=rollDice["4D6-2"] results=rollDice["1D10*10"] results=rollDice["6D6/2"] REM ********************************************** R...

Works like a charm. Thanks.

On p. 113 of the manual I saw "If the procedure returns a value, the calling statement just ignore it." and just assumed you had to go the PARAM route.

Can you use arrays as an input variable? The first code generates this error when compiling. Error: INPUT unsupported for variable of given datatype (name, ARRAY) DIM name$(10) INPUT "What name will you go by? ",name$(1) PRINT name$(1) WAIT KEY RELEASE This code compiles but just takes an ...

Nice. I'll post as some as I'm working through my own programs.

Is there a better way to simplify procedure calls? As in the example below is use 2 commands to get the result. Is there a way to do accomplish something like this? results=rollDice[dice$] or is the 2 lines I use the best way? sTART: CLS RANDOMIZE TIMER PROCEDURE rollDice[diceStr$] {some code to par...

Thanks for the clarification and entertaining the idea of creating a variant. It's no problem working around the current behavior. I can just PRINT the text and put the INPUT on the next line and hope they are not wordy players. I base my INPUT behavior on the way the Color Computer BASIC handled it...

Sounds good. Thanks for the update.

Great. Would you like them posted here in the Support area or will you open another area to put them in and discuss?

Would you be open to creating a forum topic for users to post code snippets and examples?

Appears you are not able to enter lower case text with an INPUT statement.
