Moving a sprite with the circle pad

Hello i am kiloblue On miiverse 4 some odd years ago i was STORM(creator of the Circle Pad Tester 3.1 and CLOCK programs) Back then i announced that i was releasing a mock up OS based on Windows XP called Directory OS XP Even though i was encouraged to do so and i was working on it, i hit a pretty solid problem. Im trying to create a mouse cursor system within the OS and i want to control the cursor with the Circle Pad but my problem is that i can only move it a little and thats it and it wont move anymore Can someone tell me what im missing or suggest anything? The code goes like this: CLS WHILE 1 VSYNC 1 STICK OUT X,Y LOCATE 1,2:PRINT X,Y SPSET 1,2 SPOFS 1,X,Y WEND

STICK can yield a velocity of a cursor, not an absolute coordinate. Try modifying your code as follows.

ACLS
X=200:Y=120
SPSET 1,2

WHILE 1

VSYNC 1
STICK OUT SX,SY
LOCATE 1,2:?FORMAT$("%03D,%03D",X,Y);
X=X+SX*8:Y=Y-SY*8
IF X<0 THEN X=0
IF X>(400-16)THEN X=400-16
IF Y<0 THEN Y=0
IF Y>(240-16)THEN Y=240-16
SPOFS 1,X,Y

WEND

Thank you so much! ive been on this for 3 years aaaaaaand now i feel dumb XD
