Is there a possible way of making a game scan for a code being entered and then when it has been entered the code is edited.

Thanks in advance

Of course!
You can do this:

do
cheat$=cheat$+inkey$()
if cheat$="hello"
live=live+1
cheat$=""
endif
loop


But this is very basic. You have to search the string for the cheats, that's a better way.

something i was working on, it helps to have a registered DB v1.13



This function checks the end of the entry buffer and if it is the same as the cheat text returns a 1 and empties the buffer.

This "§" isn't a standard character on a US keyboard (at least I can't find it). What key value does it hold ( Scancode()=? ).

If you want fresh underwear in the morning, take it off the night before.

like most of these characters they have a code associated with holding the alt key

open notepad then hold the alt key then pres these buttons in a sequence 0167
eg Alt - 0167

the character map application provided with all flavours of Windows will show them to you.

btw that symbol is in verdana for sure.

I would try something like this... I suppose? =)

In the main loop

If returnkey()=1
input "Enter Cheat: ";Cheat$
if Cheat$="Life" then Life=Life+1
if Cheat$="Armor" then Armor=Armor+1
endif

Where Life is your Life and typing Life in the cheat box gives you one extra life, same as armor. If you don't enter any of the cheats, it will not do anything, but if you want to have a "No such Code" message then do this.

If returnkey()=1
input "Enter Cheat: ";Cheat$
if Cheat$="Life" then Life=Life+1
if Cheat$="Armor" then Armor=Armor+1
else
Set Cursor 0,0
Print "No Such Code!"
endif

That does the exact same thing as before except it prints at 0,0 on the screen "No Such Code!" if you didn't type a right code!


Hope that Helps!
