Re: TIB: -Frank--1&2
One easy way to keep track of items would be to assign each one a number of digits
based on the item number: If you had 8 items you could get, item one would be 8
digits, Item 2 would be 7 digits, item 3 would be 6 digits, etc. With this you
could then have one small real variable to contain your inventory. For instance,
if you had items 1,4, and 8 with only 8 items you could have, the variable would
be 10010001. You could have a simple routine to see if each item was there based
on the size of the number: example (with INV being the variable containing the
inventory):
Disp "Inventory:"
INV->TEMPINV
If TEMPINV>=10000000:Then:Disp "Item #1":TEMPINV-10000000->TEMPINV:End
If TEMPINV>=1000000:Then:Disp "Item #2":TEMPINV-1000000->TEMPINV:End
If TEMPINV>=100000:Then:Disp "Item #3":TEMPINV-100000->TEMPINV:End
If TEMPINV>=10000:Then:Disp "Item #4":TEMPINV-10000->TEMPINV:End
If TEMPINV>=1000:Then:Disp "Item #5":TEMPINV-1000->TEMPINV:End
If TEMPINV>=100:Then:Disp "Item #6":TEMPINV-100->TEMPINV:End
If TEMPINV>=10:Then:Disp "Item #7":TEMPINV-10->TEMPINV:End
If TEMPINV>=1:Then:Disp "Item #8":TEMPINV-1->TEMPINV:End
That's all I have to say about that.
