 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

@Peter, I assume 2040VGA did not get TRACECACHE because of the highly tuned memory map and performance ? But it does get FM. 60300rc0 is faster on 2040VGA than 60200. Volhout Edited 2026-05-05 20:24 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

FM just increases the size of the flash image a bit. Tracecache needs 6-8K of RAM for memory resident code which would cut the VGA heap from 100K to 92K. Add to that the ram used for the cache itself when a program is running and my view is that it doesn't make sense. Anyone can build any version with cache if they want, it is just a #define in the code needed to enable it Edited 2026-05-05 20:30 by matherp |

@Peter, 60300rc0 for 2040VGA load PETSCII robots main program (the program is beautified by MMEdit). F4 (edit) ctrl-A (beautifier), let it chew for few seconds. The indenting diverts from MMEdit beautifier in second half of the listing. The DATA statements at the end of the program are indented 30+ positions. Regards, Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

I didn't get the memo:  PICOMITEMIN is RP2040 only, correct? |

I really like the new Beautify function, but I think blank lines are very useful for readability. There are blank lines in many of the (demo) sources and those aren't so easy to understand without the logical grouping that simple blank lines provide. Maybe blank line removal could be optional? |
