Polygon Zones, and why not?

Hmm... seems a bit of a limitation. I never actually used AMAL for animation, it seems more trouble than it's worth tbh...

But I'm not Combining them, I'm ONLY using upright(|) character (OR)

I guess the only way to go now is negate the tests and do Two If,s for each test.... What a pain!

It probably is, but it's much quicker than keeping track of many objects in BASIC, because of the array checking speed alone.

You are combining two tests (two comparisons of values). | and & are not tests, they are arithmetic operators, like + and -. so you could do "If X&4=4" for instance. But i don't know why <, > etc don't work like that as well... it's all a bit mysterious...

Well I'll try a double "If" tomorrow when I can be bothered to sort out the logic, too tired tonight, Thanks

Sorted now thanks , Should have been ........
AM$=AM$+"H: Let R1=7 ; Let R8=X+R0>RC ; Let R9=Y+R0>RD ; If R8 | R9 then Jump I ; Let X=X+R0;Let Y=Y+R0 ; P ; Jump Loop ; "
