Hey, are you aware that the = following SHORT=20 section of code does EXACTLY the same thing, only faster and with less = stupid=20 excess code?

    J=3DJoy(1)
    = X=3DSgn(J and=20 8)-Sgn(J and 4)
    Y=3DSgn(J and 2)-Sgn(J and=20 1)

Hey! Look! At this… Ne1 want a piece of code that turns = the=20 joystick input 2 + or -..

Eg.

J=3DJoy(1)    ;J=3D2 ; Joystick is Down!

K=3DJ-2       ;k=3D0

P#=3DJ/4.0    ;P#=3D0.5

P=3DP#        ;P=3D0

I=3DSgn(J)    ;I=3D1

if P#=3DP     ;This isn’t true = 0.5<>0

X=3DSgn(J-6)*I

End If

If P=3D0      ;This is true

Y=3DI*(K+K+1) ;Y=3D1

End If

Say you push the joystick up it returns y=3D-1 X=3D0!

If You Push Joystick Left then X=3D-1 Y=3D0

If You Push Joystick left Diagonally Up X=3D-1 and Y=3D-1

You Could use this in a game!! Something similar 2 tron!

Where U only need the direction in +1’s or = –1’s!

I’ve used it and found it gets rid of annoying and slow If=20 statements!!!!

Or U could just Delete this as it is a pointless waste of Virtual = Paper!=20 Unless You have printed it in which case!=20 Help!
