Somehow you managed to become quite rude, so maybe you should find a different forum.

I could say that perhaps it is because he is an overseas poster without a full grasp of English but considering we have members from just about everywhere on the planet who are considerate and write in a polite and friendly manner, I have to agree with Martin that this poster, in the absence of any other explanation, is just plain rude. :(

Hi,
:shock:

Our language is the Zx81 BASIC and Dr. Beep give you the right code.
Yours is too long and ... wtf.

just add "35 IF K$=CHR$ 118 THEN print at 10,10;VAL d$"
To calculate all value...

Ditto.

I think I tried to stay friendly despite earlier insults to me.

BTW English is also not my native language.

BTW2 I never referred to my software as being superior.

BTW3 And I still try to help others with their coding block.

It was my suggestion too, although I would try to avoid errors by dividing by zero or so.

Why are the keys not responding very well? Sometimes I have to press them 2 or 3 times. :?
I hadn't downloaded the code and already knew what you did wrong.
Download confirmed my thoughts.

But since you are so gifted you will find out what was wrong all by yourself.

I will work on my superior project tomorrow and try to understand what you guys are saying...

For the moment I am trying to figure out why literally none in this forum has a sense of humor...

I will say this though: Without the initial assistance of Doctor Beep this project would had stopped in the graphics.

In the meanwhile, Doctor.. feel free to point out what is wrong with the code.. or with me... :geek:

Because who knows? Tomorrow I could be banned and then you will miss your only chance of tutoring the biggest genius ever laid foot on planet earth (after Albert and Elon).

Remember that you are typing text and the way it is in your head is not the way it gets to be read
And yes we love jokes! On the Spectrum we have a running gag about STONKERS

Thanks

You use INKEY$ in each line which means you scan keyboard each time. Better read keyboard once and store info in K$ like my example does.

We get this joke.
