k1nderc0mp - part 3

I was playing around with the way Turbo BASIC works, and thanks to a funny way it works, I was able to complete k1nderc0mp using 10 lines! The only major change is the title screen. If you thought it was bland before, get ready for even more blandness!

I had to do it this way. Other than this, all the stuff that was in k11ndercomp is in here. The key to making this work lies in the fact that if you ask for an input, the game freezes until you input something and press enter. I put this on line 2 instead of line 3. That meant I had to cram everything on the title screen (the words and key entry) into the two lines that precede it (lines 0 and 1.) This meant that the separate lines for the title screen had to go. I even added in the improved drawing mode I figured out earlier today in. The code looks very crammed in, and most of the lines use at least 100 characters, but less than the 120. I didn't count them all, but I think it works. And besides, I don't know how to count them. (Would I count "POS. 32,1" or "POSITION 32,1", e.g.) But I am glad that I was able to put this in 10 lines. A thing I had to figure out was the bug about pressing other numbers at the title screen other than 1 and 2. It went crazy if you typed in a letter, for example. But I think I figured that out. But the error remains about pressing a letter in the numbers game. I can't do anything about it, and if I could, it would probably push the game over 10 lines. So unless I or someone else finds a bug, after making K1NDERC0MP and Get! I think I deserve a vacation of not trying to figure out how to cram programs in 10 lines. Things are pretty quiet here. Mom went to go somewhere and the cat and dog are both asleep, so I'm getting well-deserved alone time, at least until the dog wakes up.
