159. Accelerating step rate ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a simple program by Andrew G8YHI, to demonstrate an idea. If you press and hold either the Up or Down cursor key, a number on the screen will be incremented or decremented accordingly. The longer you hold the key down, the faster the number changes. This would enable values to be altered by large amounts easily and quickly, whilst still allowing 'fine tuning'. Perhaps some enterprising person could tidy this up into a more general-purpose procedure? 10 CLS:X=33:VDU23,1,0;0;0;0; 20 REPEAT:PROCchange:UNTILFALSE 30 : 100 DEFPROCchange:TIME=0:REPEAT 110 IF INKEY(-58) THEN X=X+(TIME/2000) ELSE IF INKEY(-42) THEN X=X-(TIME/2000) 120 Y=INT(X):PRINTTAB(10,10)Y:UNTILINKEY(-129):ENDPROC
