Hey guys!

Hope im posting this in the right place. I got what might be "a noob question". Well, I am a noob so for me perfectly appropriate . Surfed the net and guides but could not find what I was looking for.

Here is some pseudo code... Can AppGameKit Studio continue a line of code onto the next link with a special character (I think its called a Carriage Return Character)? I asks this because long conditionals or formulas are kinda difficult to read without it.

Essential... This...
If A = 0 and B = 0 and C = 0 and D = 0 and E = 0 and F = 0 and G = 0 and H = 0 and I = 0

Into this...
If A = 0 and_
B = 0 and_
C = 0 and_
D = 0 and_
E = 0 and_
F = 0 and_
G = 0 and_
H = 0 and_
I = 0

Got this...
Error: Incompatible types "Integer" and "string"

I think I did something incorrectly.

sorry I thought you wanted a string
like A$="line 1"+chr(13)+"line 2"+chr(13)+"line 3"
print (a$)

and you cant separate conditions over multiple lines like that the ide isn't designed for it

Thanks fubarpk, It would certainly be a nice thing to have though.

Just remember those variable are case sensitive, right?

chr(13) is also very helpful when displaying multiple lines using the Message(a$) command.

This post has been marked by the post author as the answer.
As already stated, the IDE doesn't support concatenated lines. However, in your case you can still do it because your concatenation is with the AND keyword. So you can simply create another IF on the line below which will only be executed if the IF above it is TRUE.
Like this:


You can make that easier to read by pre-creating simplified variable names, like this:


Both of those are good suggestions but in your case I wouldn't recommend either one. Your code is simply checking to see if a point is within a box. So you really should functionise that. Like this:

I simplified the variable names again in the final example above, but that is just for clarity, you don't actually need to do that.

Finally, you can simplify it much further. If you don't have any overlapping sprites or you only ever want to test against the one on top (depth nearest the screen) then you can do this:
