TI-BASIC:Windows
Sometimes, you need to just separate one thing from another, want some sort of pop-up window, or want a nice looking frame for the menu on your game. Well, here's some ways on how to do just that.

You just have to experiment with what window looks good and what would work with your game/program.
Pop-up Windows

Setupeditor GAME If dim(GAME)=0:Then prgmPOPUP End
prgmPOPUP here is the program that shows the popup menu saying that you have no game data.

Game screen
If you want a game screen to show your game statistics like health, money, number of battles, current level, or your character name, then you could use a layout screen for a game. Let's use the medieval screen from above.
You can create your own window if you want, but these are some suggestions.
