I noticed that the latest update says it can now load programs, but I can’t find any more info. Anyone know about this?

Thank you!

So we use both routines together in the code?

In Part 4) Input from the keyboard, there are two routines: nokey and upkey. After dealing with nokey, it says: “Get GAME1-002.ASM again in edit, we add a few lines Again UNDER SHOWA add the following code.” Here is my question: do we replace the nokey routine with the upkey routine, or do we KEEP t...

Does the section below literally mean enter those two lines into the editor 20 times? So: block 20, 128 db 118 block 20, 128 db 118 block 20, 128 db 118 Etc....

20 LET A$=INKEY$
30 IF A$ <> “” THEN GOTO 60
40 LET N=N+1
50 IF N<50 GOTO 20
60 IF A$=“8”...etc

In line 50 you set the length of pause you want.
