IM Problem

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

IM Problem

(account deleted) 22 Jun 2018 16:29

Hello everyone! I have connected my calculator with a school calculator, and I have been experiencing problems with this, which I will explain.

---

Here is the Instant messanger code I found on the site:

:"→Str1
:"→Str2
:GetCalc(A
:e(A=π)+π(A≠π→A
:Lbl M
:ClrHome
:Menu("IM","READ",R,"SEND",S,"QUIT",Q
:Lbl S
:Input "SEND MESSAGE:   ",Str3
:If A=π:Str3→Str1
:If A=e:Str3→Str2
:Goto M
:Lbl R
:If A=e:Then
:GetCalc(Str1
:Str1
:Else
:GetCalc(Str2
:Str2
:End
:Output(1,1,Ans
:Pause :Goto M
:Lbl Q

I ran both program on both calculators at the same time, and both programs had the same
A variable. I found that out when I realized the message was not received on the receiving calculator. I tried restarting the program again, at different times, and both had unique identities. Is there any way I can prevent this IM bug in the future?
EDIT: I'd also want to send messages without the input command, using Strings instead. I'll keep in touch!

EDIT 2: Does anyone more know good emojiis I can store in Ans while typing message?
I know some:
:'( :'-( :( :) :-( :-) :-/ :-< :-> :-@ :-D :-O :O :D :3 :P, That's all I know.

It's probably a error caused by both calculators trying to send at the same time but I don't really know.
OwO and ^v^ btw
