  I could reproduce it. Write this code and the touch keyboard will not work properly :-( So, I will try to switch to setMode(1280,720) before I show the input screen. setMode(1920, 1080) input("Test")

  Ok i will check that out and test if i can do the bullet board (enemy turn) and the dialog/menu(player turn) with that but idk if i could just colide with a location lets say like corners x 50 and 100 and y 4 and 36 so i could collide with the location itself instead of the box()

  If the numbers are stored in a simple array as you have described you would have to just check them all. However it is possible to build a fast look up table that can find the variable with a set of numbers without looking at them all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table It is even possible to go a step further. At the cost of false positives you can use a bloom filter that can check to see if a set of numbers is present without actually storing all of them in a table thus saving time and memory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter

  Make a 7x8 array, all filled with 0s, and mark the position as 1 if you use it. You can use that to see if a position is already filled.

  I think you want something like: setSpriteSpeed (plr,100*c.lx,-100*c.ly) Though 100 seems fast, but is in line with what you had.

  @toxibunny That's great! I actually also do the global array of structs approach. For my functions that manipulate an individual entity/object, I just pass the array index as an argument. Then I manipulate the strict within the global array itself, without needing to worry about copying structs. That works well in my game, too, without me noticing or measuring any real performance penalty.

  @PB____ Thanks for the help ! I think this had already happened to me before, but now I understand why. I wasn't aware you could declare a variable as local to a specific code block.

  @pianofire I normally wouldn't remember any score. But recently I played it on an arcade cabinet one of my bros built, and I had the "local" high score for a 2 days. Haha.

  Good spot! I overlooked that. But yeah, I guess since the highest 3 bits are not being used for the actual morse then maybe they could be used to indicate the number of leading zeros? I think that would work?

  That’s the way I would have done it if I’d remembered how. I like the way spt suggested though. The ’lock’ metaphor is easy to remember.

  I'm not sure how this works for sprites?
