Neither of those work for me. The graphics one is still broken the same way and the text one. well nothing shows up. (but when I hit esc it says "q u i t y / n")

...wait I got it! right before the first DO I put "updateon=timer"

Hmm, I wonder why you needed to do that
Updateon should initalize to 0. Since your timer would always evaluate to higher then 0 the update screen code should be tiggered. What does updateon equal before you set it to equal timer?

Thanks, but I hardly consider it a gem :lol: smilies are back!

I made it fast because anything slower is kinda boring. Maybe I'll put a skill level on it.

i guess if it's meant to be fast like that... im just saying the way it is now is almost unplayable.

i first thought it was a way to test how fast someoneâs computer was. like seeing how many cycles it could do in a second and thru some formula do something or other. geez im a lazy typist.

like this:

Code:
stimer = timer

for i = 0 to 10000000000

    if timer > stimer +1 then :ii = i:exit for

    if timer < stimer then stimer = 86400 - stimer: stimer = 0 - stimer

next

? ii

sleep

hence, the bigger the number, the faster the computer.

edit: regarding my other post, i added a safety net for midnight

That isnt really needed in fb it would probably be better if you used SLEEP ms

Well.. challenge is pretty much over, if you have any entries that you havent sent in for some weird reason, do so now..
