A
LOOP
block loops a section of code forever.
Syntax
LOOP statements... ENDLOOP
Name | Description |
---|---|
statements... | Statements inside the LOOP block will be repeated. |
Examples
Anything inside theLOOP
will be looped forever, unless there is a way for the loop to exit (e.g. a BREAK
statement.)
'this loop runs forever LOOP PRINT "I'm running forever!" ENDLOOP
'this loop will exit if the random number is 7 'or, each iteration has a 1/10 chance of exiting LOOP PRINT "Will I escape?" IF RND(10)==7 THEN BREAK ENDLOOP PRINT "I made it!"Most complex interactive programs have a "main loop" that contains the core logic. It's a common-sense design pattern to have a block of code that coordinates the rest of your program, and it only makes sense to have it loop as long as necessary.
LOOP
is the perfect candidate.
'a simple interactive program LOOP VSYNC IF BUTTON(0,#B_A) THEN PRINT "A button" IF BUTTON(0,#B_B) THEN PRINT "B button" IF BUTTON(0,#B_Y) THEN CLS IF BUTTON(0,#B_X) THEN BREAK ENDLOOP
