What extra features does VARPTR provide?
#1
I'm in trouble again!
I'm experimenting with VARPTR$ and built the experimental prog below, to compare with a sample given in Help that uses VARPTR$.
It seems I can get the same result without VARPTR$, so I don't see the reason for using it.
What am I missing?

Code: (Select All)
Screen 2
Cls
WIND$ = "r10 d7 l10 u7 br20" '                                        wind$ is a rectangle and "blind" move to right
ROW$ = WIND$ + WIND$ + WIND$ + WIND$ + "bl80 bd11" '                  row$ is four wind$, and "blind" moves left and down
For a = 1 To 4: Draw ROW$: Next '                                     draw four rows of wind$

Sleep: Cls '                                                          and to include the TA feature...
WIND$ = "ta45 r10 d7 l10 u7 br20"
ROW$ = WIND$ + WIND$ + WIND$ + WIND$ + "bl80 bd11"
For a = 1 To 4: Draw ROW$: Next
Of all the places on Earth, and all the planets in the Universe, I'd rather live here (Perth, W.A.) Big Grin
