Color control codes - LCD - 05-21-2009
Hallo boriel, you wrote, the control codes can be used like in BasIn, I tested it:
Code:
print at 0,0;"\{i7}\{p2}\{b1}Test"Code:
print at 0,0;"\{i7p2b1}Test"Quote:The escape sequences for control characters are as follows:
\{in}
Ink colour n, where n is in the range 0 to 7.
\{pn}
Paper colour n, where n is in the range 0 to 7.
\{bn}
Bright n, where n is 0 or 1.
\{fn}
Flash n, where n is 0 or 1.
Note: Control character escape sequences can be combined, so that for instance \{i6p1f1} is equivalent to \{i6}\{p1}\{f1} - flashing yellow ink on blue paper.
Btw: Release 1.2.1 is excellent. My latest test Program needed 8 Kb before, now it is only 4 Kb...

works fine, but BasIn allows this too:Code:print at 0,0;"\{i7}\{p2}\{b1}Test"
which does not work. Is this a bug?Code:print at 0,0;"\{i7p2b1}Test"
I will implement it, anyway.

It needs 4Kb less to load, but once run, the HEAP zone will be created and it will take another 4Kb (Heap is the temporary memory for string management). So you ended up using 8kb again. In the next releases a new flag for the heap will be used so you can specify a 1024bytes heap, etc.

There are also other escape sequences like Puond Sterling code too...LCD Wrote:Hallo boriel, you wrote, the control codes can be used like in BasIn, I tested it:Yes: Didn't know BASIN allowed that.

I hope, the heap does not go over 49152, because this will surely cause a nice crash if I switch the bank on Spectrum 128Quote:Btw: Release 1.2.1 is excellent.

Now BorIDE can calculate the available free space correctly, after compilation. If you find some time (next month, I suppose), boriel, please check the colour codes again, in
print at 0,0;"\{i7p2b1}Test"
as it still refuses to work :wink:
maybe for 1.2.6 Final?

Code:
print at 0,0;"\{i7}{p2}{b1}Test"I will try this weekend, but the @label bug is more important at the moment.

Is this BASIN compatible?Code:print at 0,0;"\{i7}{p2}{b1}Test"

It was just that over one year ago you said, you will implement it anyway :wink:. No need to hurry. It was just a question :mrgreen:
