bin$(button()) is great!

I just found an amazing way to do multi-button input. Try this:

ACLS
WHILE 1
 PRINT BIN$(BUTTON())
 VSYNC
 CLS
WEND

You can also do multi-button input using the AND operator: 'Check L and R WHILE 1 IF BUTTON(1) AND (#L OR #R) THEN PRINT "L and R!" VSYNC WEND This works because the return value of BUTTON is a bitmask, that means every button has a single bit in the return value. The AND operator will return all the shared bits in both operands (&b1001 AND &b1011 == &b1001), and OR will return all the bits in both (&b1001 OR &b0110 == &b1111)

Tbh, you don't need to do exactly

?BIN$(BUTTON())

you can do just

?BUTTON()

?BUTTON(0)

BIN$ just makes it binary. It's what you put in () after BUTTON that effects that. Look at the help page for button.
