So title says it, I'm having trouble getting a while loop to recognize the NOT command. I have it print out the variable so I see it get to what should be a true statement and break the loop but it just keeps going.



That is what I'm trying to use (and I tried a couple variations), I suppose I'm not using it correctly but I can't find much in the help for making a negative comparison. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not equals <> seems more appropriate here




You might need to bracket right side of the comparison, depends on AppGameKit deals with order of operations..




Hmm, I wonder what's coming in 2011?

Normally you will use NOT in the context of an expression being TRUE.

You don't need to bracket equations in AppGameKit basic:

...will get the same results as:

...and:


You can also add boolean operations in:

...but I prefer to bracket around parts of boolean operations to make them easier to distinguish:

while (temp <> CurrentLevel * 1000) and (temp <> CurrentLevel * 2000) // etc
endwhile"

I also prefer and strongly advise this method. I would not put brackets around everything just for the sake of it but enough to make the code instantly readable like this is a great benefit when someone new comes to the code, or ourselves after a break.

Of all the things I've lost, it's my... my... oh darn it.
