Real basic question... I am currently working on MUD like game for my Computer Science class... Also I love RPGs so I actually care enough to go all out... I think I was told how to but I forget and I don't want to waste my 3-day weekend so how is it you can use special characters or ALT-Commands in a put statement? i.e. I want to do: put "█" but if I try to do the ALT-Command or even copy and paste it comes out like this... ?? put "?" |

I don't believe Turing supports extended ascii. I think you might have to do it using the Draw. procedures, unless someone else knows a way to get it to work. |

1st of all why are you trying to output an "ALT-Command"? If it is that you want some charcater that is not on the keyboard like ?, ? or ? (or any other extended ASCII char) you should be using the chr command with the ascii code. For example if you want ? you would do: put chr(135) For a list of ascii codes see http://www.ascii-code.com/ Unfrontly tho, thess chars are not the same as you will get with the ALT-some numbers in windows like ╝ or ╗ and as far as i know turing does not support thoes so you will either get an error or a ? if you try to put them in ""s Edit: It seems compsci.ca does not support the extended ASCII chars i was using in the example, however turing does support them and you should be able to use any of the chars on the ascii-code.com site in turing. |

Characters are a tricky thing, so I'm not sure what exactly you mean to display. However, from what I can tell, you're trying to accomplish such:
