Console switches

[billyj1285]

Good afternoon everyone,

 

I have a really dumb question. I am sorry. I have looked it up and experimented, however I just cant figure this simple thing out.

 

I have a small start of a game. Its just a sprite going up and down right now. This is Batari basic by the way.

 

I just want to set the console reset switch to reset. I have tried the ifthen and I just cannot get it to work. Here is the listing.

I am also having trouble making that bottom row solid.

 

I am sorry. I am new and am just having a little trouble. any help would be apprciated.

 

Thanks,

Bj

Posting this in the batari Basic forum would be better so that more people who use bB would see it. The simplest example of a reset switch would be something like this:

 

 If switchreset then reboot

 

Looking at the manual hosted on RT's site has more information about using reset, such as using a bit to prevent reset from repeating when it is held down.
