Embedded codes - britlion - 10-28-2013
I see Battle Bunny came up with a good idea here:

I suggest we steal it, and persuade Boriel to include it in the compiler. So you can do
Print "{PAPER 3} Hello world" to embed the paper 3 in the string. Or More usefully block graphics and {C} symbol in a more logical format.
Clearly needs a way of turning on and off globally via command line, and locally or a string via some #command....
But I think it would make it easier to enter some odd codes.

I never implemented the full subset of BASIN codes. This is done at the preprocessor level, not the compiler. I have stopped development since July :? due to lack of time (stopped != abandoned, ok?). Like when you dissapeared for a while when moving, I'm currently "revamping" my life too.

Yes - it has been quiet for a while! Glad to hear you're safe and well, at least. And life does get in the way of hobbies.
For example, I'm getting married. Today, actually....
