Can someone help me with this code? I need a way to make the character onscreen not flicker as much.

VSYNC [Wait period] or WAIT [Wait period] they both do they same thing and will help your object not to flicker that much

ok i'll try it.

For example: WHILE 1 'Start infinite loop IF BUTTON() AND #LEFT THEN:X=X-1 IF BUTTON() AND #RIGHT THEN:X=X+1 IF BUTTON() AND #UP THEN:Y=Y-1 IF BUTTON() AND #DOWN THEN:Y=Y+1 LOCATE X,Y:?"@"; 'Moves text cursor to X,Y and prints @ without adding a line break VSYNC 'Wait a frame WEND 'End infinite loop

V360 I tried that, and it worked, but the method of repeatedly using ACLS wasn't working. I need a method to only clear the screen when the dpad is pressed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using CLS instead of ACLS.

Try this, first make button a variable: b=button(). Then make the following if statement: if b>1 then cls 'or acls

Thanks V360! It worked! Also thanks for the idea Caleb, i'll probably use that in another project,

As mentioned above, ACLS clears EVERYTHING and is probably not what you want. CLS clears just the text and will be better. Still, I think we can do better still with the dirty rectangles technique. With that you only update what changed on screen. I rewrote your code (see attached) to use it and it seems plenty fast. Give it a try let me know if you find bugs.

Tried your code and it worked!
