| Well, your program seems to run fast enough already, though I am pretty sure there are minuscule shavings that can be done to the program. Otherwise, well done lordofthegeeks! |

I'm seeing a lot of things that you can do with this, but I'll only offer a few.
randInt(0,1
If not(Ans
Then
‾1→D
Else
1→D
End
Let that become 1-2int(2rand→D. Type it on the home screen to see that it works the same.
Instead of writing If C=3(S>1 and the like, try to use If C=3 and S>1. That's what the logical operators are for. Plus, they are faster.
Of course, try to remove any trailing parentheses where it is helpful*, and look for items such as (X+1)+10L, where they can be dropped while maintaining the same order of evaluation.
* If at any point you were taught that replacing an If condition:command with If condition:Then:command:End makes a program run a lot faster, then note that it's only true if the condition is false and the appropriate For( doesn't have an ending parenthesis on it. In fact, that single combination is what makes a program run slower than normal. So, in any For( loop where you can reduce an If-Then to just a single If, do that, but put a closing parenthesis at the end of the parent For( afterward. This will make your program run faster – not slower.
To make this absolutely clear (for all ears), the fix that you might have heard regarding an additional Then and End... That fix should have been putting a closing parenthesis on the end of a For( instruction. That's it. No buts about it.

| its only a slow down when the If is right after the For( statement so if there is a line in between the For( and the If commands you don't even need the closing parenthesizes. |
