 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. |

That's assuming I ever manage to put any quality time into it, I'm currently struggling to release a Beta 2 of my transpiler, now accompanied by an MMBasic equivalent of cflow. I'm open to suggestions about what to include on the "Welcome Tape", but this looks like amazing work and something that could stand in its own right. Possibly someone else might curate a games compilation at some point in the future? That said once I get the basic launcher framework working I will be asking around for an animated splash-screen and I'm not adverse to re-purposing something that already exists.

D'Oh, you're refering to vegipete's "rocks in space" demo, not to Oidzone? Yes, that would make a welcome addition to the "Welcome Tape". Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

If anybody would buy CMM2 games I'd sell OidZone and mail out little sd cards all over the world.  In 1996 I released OidZone on the pc as shareware. I worked months on it, writing a game engine from scratch, drawing all the art by hand in autodesk animator, recording the music and funny voices, everything...from scratch... and I sold 4! copies of it. I released OidZone for the Apple II a couple years ago and sold about 100 copies on floppy disk to 17 countries |

BUG in DATA statements. Strings that are not enclosed in quotes get converted to uppercase during program 'save'. RESTORE mydata FOR n = 1 TO 3 READ x$ PRINT x$ NEXT n mydata: DATA CaMelCase, fred, "CaMelCase2" gives: CAMELCASE FRED CaMelCase2 Definitely gets converted to uppercase during save: D0300060 7C 31 34 00 01 03 06 4D 59 44 41 54 41 27 7C 31 |14....MYDATA'|1 D0300070 36 00 01 82 43 41 4D 45 4C 43 41 53 45 2C 20 46 6...CAMELCASE, F D0300080 52 45 44 2C 20 22 43 61 4D 65 6C 43 61 73 65 32 RED, "CaMelCase2 D0300090 22 27 7C 31 37 00 01 A6 27 7C 31 39 00 01 98 4B "'|17...'|19...K The obvious workaround is to enclose all strings in quotes (I usually do), but then it is not consistent with other versions.

Hi Berightous, That would be interesting, I would also be interested in knowing what price you would want for a game? General etiquette when selling something on a commercial or semi commercial basis is to start a new thread and add COMM as in commercial listing as I have done in my Cmmercial Listing A private message to Gizmo, the forum operator, to check he is happy with it, is also good manners.

Lol. I'd charge 8 million dollars if I could. I think any money that could be made on this platform would come from programming books, or patreon donations. The platform is brilliant for teaching programming. As for the games themselves, the basic code is just directing traffic. The firmware is doing all the heavy lifting, and all that's thanks to the dev team who make us all look good. I think all the quaternion 3d stuff should just be rolled into basic commands like 3D setup 3D_Draw 3D_rotate 3D_Filled or whatever with 3d objects in a defined manner. Something simple. We define a 3D tank and just tell the maximite to drive it around like a 3D turtle. Then we could write battlezone without having to figure out how the world works.

Hi ! I bought a usb a a cable so i can connect it to my pc and I tried to run this programmer... but it does not open. I am on Windows 10 Any Idea what I can do so the programm runs ? I also set it to "start as admin" but it does not work. Wouldn't it be great to update the firmware simply by uploading it to the sd card ? put it there and then just run a command on the cmm2 to load it ? I have no clue what to do or if i better stick to that old os now... this machine is not really beginner friendly - I slowly guess maybe this is nothing for me... everything is so complicated and even when I read the manual it does not work. I just want my keyboard to work correctly and now I am not able to upgrade to the latest firmware. Can anyone help please ? :-( http://tweakerray.bandcamp.com |

Do you mean that the STM32CubeProgrammer software does run, STM32CubeProgrammer software couldn't be installed or it runs but cannot see the CMM2? Jim VK7JH MMedit  MMBasic Help |

Hi Tweaker, Does the pc make any sound when you plug your USB A-A cable in? It should.. When you downloaded the STM software did it seem to install correctly? Did you Get any warning that your virus detector thought it was suspect software or anything? Maybe try to disable your antivirus first and run STM, it is safe to run. Can you try it on another PC?

Hi, Have the below issue with long commands entered from USB console...I vaguely recall this was discussed, but it would be good if could paste lines longer than 100 chars via the usb input port Tested with 5.05.05 beta 8 at top of page of this thread Fairly sure I could do this with MM Explore64 Useful for doing quick performance/other tests from terminal without requiring to load program in flash. n%=10000:t!=TIMER:for i%=1 to n%:NEXT i%:?"Bare loop:"((TIMER-t!)*1000000+.5)\n%/1000"microseconds per loop" returns Error: No closing quote n%=10000:t!=TIMER:for i%=1 to n%:NEXT i%:?"Bare loop:"((TIMER-t!)*1000000+.5)\n%/1000"uS/loop" returns correct result Bare loop: 1.719uS/loop (I'm on the 480M (V) variant) As has been mentioned speed is significantly faster than previous.. 5.05.04...enjoying it...am currently working on a gen.purpose DB, hence quick performance tests are handy to have without spoiling the code.

At the command prompt you can't enter commands longer than the number of characters on the screen otherwise the firmware generates a newline. Try font 7 before your command |

Thanks Peter! Never thought of that! - it improves it from 100 chars by factor of 8/6..i.e. 133 chars total line width. Another Edit: There's a font of 4 pixels width in the manual which DOES give (immediate command) line width of 200. 3 pixels wide would probably cause some problem (being 266 char line width) - I might try this rainy-day scenario too for fun some time. Thanks again (Multiple edits sorry) Regards Phil Edited 2020-08-16 19:09 by flip |

BUG: using drive name in RUN path Pretty certain this is new, possible caused by improvements to relative path handling? > Print Cwd$ A:/ > List "hello.bas" Print "Hello World" > Run "hello.bas" Hello World > Run "/hello.bas" Hello World > Run "A:/hello.bas" Error: The logical drive number is invalid Regards, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Nothing changed that could affect this and works for me. So there must be something else in your setup that I'm not replicating. |
