That's too bad    Well, good luck on your next projects!

metal, would there be any way to be able to save a variable even after the program has been restarted? This would be to create a passcode that the user would be able to change in settings, and allow it to be the same every time LISTOS was turned on.

Sounds like something that Scratch 2.5 could do, with cloud data. So basically no.

Unless you mean when it's downloaded--then you'd just have to remove the script that deletes variables before startup, because anyone who's running it online will never log out (unless they press stop). Otherwise there's no way to save anything until cloud data is available.

But do keep in mind that you can't create other programs with that particular kind of modification of Cahfee; you'll have to stick with LISTOS, and you'll need to get a new copy of Cahfee 1.4 before making new programs.

I'll try it when I can find my computer again... (On my phone right now) Maybe this is why none of my programs have worked correctly since 2.0! Well I hope this fixes it. Thanks again metal!

Lol, it doesn't fix it. Sorry. 

But now I have an idea! (Amazing, right?!) Maybe we could use the goto function more efficiently. Instead of having it set up as it is right now, do the real coding of this:

u command=Command:

if $command =gtn
goto gtn
endif

if $command =s
goto s
endif

if $command =l
goto l
endif

Now that I finally got LISTOS 2 working, does anyone have a good idea for a first downloadable app?

wait wut? how are you gonna do downloadable apps? LOL just wondering.

that actually opens up a whole new idea for cahfee. extra code lists o.o
but of course you'd have to actually add that to the scratch program, so bah..

but the idea you just gave me is this:
have a separate program all coded in a special list, and then use a Cahfee command to start that program from the programming list! then, return back to the programming list when it's done. GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS! then for downloadables all you'd have to make is a code list and the program name and have it imported!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'M SMART LOL

except just one problem: for downloadables you'd have to add the startup option in cahfee. unless you just programmed them all beforehand. lol.

Woah! That's way more complicated then what I had in mind! All I was gonna do was make a new project, a new sprite, and then create a list called "Programming". Then make another list called "Apps", and when the green flag is clicked have the new sprite do a quick test to see if it is already in the Apps list. If it's not, then it just adds and inserts some code into Programming. After that I would just post it online with a cool background, and whenever someone downloads it and imports it into LISTOS, it runs the test, and then adds the code if it's not already in there. Of course I'll have to add a wait block on the broadcast exec script so it doesn't get messed up when it's converting the code.

I think we should make a text based rpg game for an app it would be fun.

What is an rpg? I've heard about them a lot, just never knew what they were.

Here's a basic movement engine for an RPG that I wrote in like 5 seconds 

var x=0
var y=0

:movement
echo position: ($x ,$y )
u action=up, down, left, right

if $action =up
    t>y $y +1
endif

if $action =down
    t>y $y -1
endif

if $action =left
    t>x $x -1
endif

if $action =right
    t>x $x +1
endif

L movement

But the problem is, it's annoying without visuals. Maybe I'll have to include some basic pen control functions in the next version.

And I'll have to include multi-dimensional variables too, if that's even possible. Like lists/arrays.
Like for objects in a game, you'd need what it is, the x, and the y--instead of storing all this in three variables it'd be nice to store it in one.

That would be so cool! But your game is going to become more complicated than that all variable based platformer!

I can help with the basic tools of List OS, as I'm making my own.

You already quit and need experience with Cahfee programming language that's what it's built in. I'm just making sure you understand.

I mean with no graphics in the rpg. It should ask you for choices and let you do stuff that way.
