Re-arrange your line 8 to: PROJECT OUT PJ$:LOCATE 0,4:PRINT PJ$

Just to add, the string returned will be empty if you're in the [DEFAULT] project folder.

Could this have hypothetically been a rhetorical question?

If you're looking for the code to display it, here it is.

I suspect there's been a transcription error. Here's a download key for a folder containing 3 random-art programs: this one, the other one that I've posted on Miiverse, and a variation on the 2nd that starts with a randomized background.

The A button also acts as the ENTER key, so it's maybe a good idea for the program to wait for it to be released before accepting input. Try adding the two WHILE ~ WEND statements shown in this screenshot.

If you've stored a number in a string, T$, you can convert it to a number, N, using the VAL() function. N = VAL(T$) If your string consists of custom-defined characters, I imagine you would have to do some fancy string manipulation to convert them to the number characters before using VAL(). Or, you maybe it would be easier to just re-define the number characters using your custom characters.

Ok. Found them in your "Petit computer 3" play journal.

Hmmm... it looks like it should work? You're not pressing Enter after every number you type, are you? That's the only way I can think of that it wouldn't work. (But, I haven't type it into my 3DS yet, so I could be wrong.) Can you upload it and provide a public key so I can try it out, to see what's happening?

I suspect the problem is that you used FOR X = 1 TO 7 try instead, using FOR X = 0 TO 7

If the game is designed properly, you can. Keep track of the player position, npc positions, player inventory, game level, etc. in variables. When the player selects "save game", write these to a file. When she selects "load game", read them back from the file.

Yes, it starts all grey. Just let it keep running. After about 15 seconds you'll begin to see light and dark areas appear. Within 60 seconds you'll be able to see colours. After a further few minutes it'll look similar to the screenshot in the first post.

Changing the radius from "1" to "2" in the GCIRCLE command makes it come alive.

Using this instead of GPSET makes the art develop much faster.

Here's the code for this one. Once again, it needs to run for a few minutes before vibrant colours begin to appear.

Random, computer-generated art #2.

Here's the code. Let it run for a few minutes (literally minutes) and you'll get something similar to the screenshot in my first post.

Fun with random numbers, computer-generated art.

another unique one

The code in this screenshot allows a sprite to be moved around the screen, as controlled by the circlepad.
