Hi

Is posible put a ubyte variable just after DIM   WITHOUT ASSEMBLER  maybe with AT @  or something

Example:

Trying to use CHR$(13) in print42() and it is ignored - could this be implemented please?


Thanks

since a long time i was thinking how simple or possible would be using sprite engines/libraries on zxbasic-compiler (just like those used on z88dk and so on)

so i started to try this (very glitchy and inefficient, as the code shows...   )

(wsad or cursors for moving)

I wonder if you could show some examples of how to use #include MACRO introduced in 1.5.1 as I don't see anything in the wiki

thanks

recently i was trying this
https://worldofspectrum.org/forums/discu...n-assembly
is there some more efficient way, that works?
all my examples there were totally made on ZX-Basic Compiler - i'm now stuck in the last one, i only can load one file when it was supposed to load more...

It would be handy to have a 

LTRIM
RTRIM
TRIM

functions built in to ZXB

I know you could right one but I wonder if there is a faster way to be compiled?

thanks

Hi

Not sure if this is the best place to report this but https://zxbasic.readthedocs.io/ seems to be not working?

I have two functions that have a return 0 

This might be asking a tricky thing to do but :-

GOAL :  
To have main.bas compile at 24576 as main.tap
with the ability to at runtime, call on the functions in the below separate files

Functions.bas compile at last address use above +1 as functions-Bank1.bin
** ZX Basic functions only 

textdata.bas compile at  last address use above +1 as textdata-Bank3.bin
** Mixture of ZX BASIC and ASM functions and data references.

picturedata.bas  compile at last address use above +1 as picturedata-Bank6.bin
** Mixture of ZX BASIC and ASM functions and picture references but uses the 168384 address to load into.

This I am hoping would result in files being created that I can then join them together into one TAP file which can then be loaded via an emulator.
The idea is then to be able switch to the relevant bank # to call the relevant function,.

Issue:
When the main,bas is compiled the compiler insists on functions being accessible at runtime, a very logical thing, so the compile fails as the methods are not in main.bas but in the other *.BIN files.

Is there a way around this?
I was using blank labels which helps a bit but I can't really do this with the functions (I have not tried though)

thanks

Hi

I am writing a text adventure game (simply for my own fun) rather than use the other systems out there e.g. PAW Infocom, DAAD, TADS,  Aventuron etc... I wanted the challenge in writing one for the ZX Spectrum . :-)

The biggest issue I had was the amount of Text that needed storing.
At first I was going to use some sort of compression but couldn't get it work so I created a tokenised dictionary that turned string arrays (Locations, Objects, Examination results etc...)  to numeric arrays thus the memory was reduced quite a bit. So I thought this would suffice but I soon ran out of memory.

I then attempted to look into the text compression again and then worked out how to do this, but due to the size of the dictionary which was needed still it crashed when there was a decompression of the location file.

I also attempted to use +3 Disk but whilst I was able to a) load a picture b) load a text it crashed subsequent attempts. (Memory clash perhaps)?

So I am here looking for some hints/tips on the options I have.
I do have another plan though where I will try to rewrite it but this time start using text compression from the start.... we will see ... but the main thing for me is

Thanks to Boriel bringing the ZXB to use and Einar Saukas for their both their support :-)
