Hi, I'm new to DB and am playing around with the code to learn so here's what I've got so far:



When I run this program, it will not print "Please put in your name:" or the other print comand. It will allow me to type in my name and the password but it just won't print what I've got for the print comands. But if I take out the line of code "cls rgb(90, 40, 50)" then it will work properly. Would anybody happen to know the answer to this problem?

Thanks.

i just took the code right out of here and pressed F5 and it worked instantly.

although the line print "Thank you" wont show as you have a CLS right after it

It worked for me too. That line shouldn't effect the previous lines. You can use the INPUT command to print text also so there's no need to have it PRINT then get INPUT when one command can do both... all you do is use a semicolon after the last " mark to tell Darkbasic which variable you want.

When you get input it's best to change it's case so it's easier for you to detect the right password. If the case isn't changed and somebody typed in "ENTER" or "Enter" or "enTer" it wouldn't register as being the right password because your specifically looking for "enter" in lower case. To change a strings case to lower you use LOWER$(). If you want it higher case use UPPER$().

I got rid of your GOTO since if they don't get the password right you don't want them using your program anyway. If it doesn't see the right password it ENDs... no need for GOTO.

The problem with "thank you" not showing up, is because you are issuing a clear screen command immediately after it, with no wait time or pause built into the program.

It IS printing it, but the problem is the program moves so fast that you will not see it before it clears the screen.

The solution there, like shown in other peoples examples, is to insert a wait command that stalls the program for a second or two or until a key is pressed.

Inserting a simple "wait 1000" (wait one second) between the Print command and the goto command, will show you that it really is printing.

I'm not sure, however, why it would not print your very first command.
