 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. |

test is a "test" command I use to check things out. It has no parameters and no error checking. At the moment it returns the state of the noaudio setting when you run MMBasic |

Puzzled by need to set first line printed with TEXT at other than 1 in order not to have top lines scrolled off. For Paul_L's display using PC graphics drawing characters, when using scale to make the display as large as he wants, I have to set the first line at 7 when scale is 2, or at 13 when scale is 1. The program sets mode 16 and font 4. Display with scale=2, first line is 7 (this is the way Paul wants it to look):  Display with scale=1, first line is 13:  Here's what it looks like with scale=2, first line = 1 (it's similarly off the screen with scale=1 and first line = 1):  Here's the code: dim string sLine(40) length 80 dim integer nLines,fh, fw, ln=7, scale=2 mode 16 font 4 fh=mm.fontheight: fw=mm.fontwidth if scale=1 then ln=13 'ln=1 cls open "\dl\micromite\_mmb4w\geo\g9_display.txt" for input as #1 do while not EOF(#1) nLines=nLines+1 line input #1, sLine(nLines) text 0,ln*fh*scale,sLine(nLines),,,scale ln=ln+1 loop close #1 text 0,ln*fh*scale,"" ' set cursor print nLines," Lines Read" end Here's the file I'm reading zipped: g9_display.zip Here's the result of OPTION LIST:  If it's significant, my display resolution is 1600x900. The issue is similar if I use mode 15 and font 1. I don't see what I'm doing wrong. ~ Edited 2022-07-05 00:48 by lizby PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

This is a known issue and happens when the mode size is >= to the actual physical display size. Try setting the mode to a minus value to use full screen mode or chose a mode smaller than your physical screen |

Is PLAY TTS supposed to work in MMBasic for Windows? Everything I try gets the error "Syntax", for instance PLAY TTS "1" or PLAY TTS "one". PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

One of the Challenge '22 programs written for the CMM2 didn't display properly in MMBasic for Windows. It wrote some invisible text, then read it back pixel by pixel, and if the pixel was non-black (<>0) wrote it in another place as a sprite at maybe 8 times the size. Under MMBasic for Windows, it wrote sprites for all pixels, whether blank or not. When I looked at what it was reading as PIXEL(x,y) for what was expected to be a blank pixel, I got 4278190080. I tried writing a pixel as RGB(BLACK) and reading it back and got the same value. I got the program to display correctly by checking pixel value <> RGB(BLACK) instead of <>0. My question is, what is the reason for RGB(BLACK) not being equal to 0 under MMBasic for Windows?  PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

Because that would have a transparency of 0 and wouldn't show as the windows is always ARGB8888 |

Ah, I see. Thanks. If I print ? hex$(rgb(black)) I get FF000000. That makes more sense than printing it as decimal. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

I realise MMB4W is dormant at the moment, but bug? ? Peek(Byte Mm.Info(Font Address 1)) Address But on the PicoMiteVGA: ? Peek(Byte Mm.Info(Font Address 1)) 8 Best wishes, Tom Edited 2022-10-04 19:10 by thwill Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Try this b11 MMBasic.zip |

Thank you Peter, you've fixed that, but a recent addition to the MMB4L firmware test-suite has revealed another issue:  Running this will immediately crash-out MMB4W, note that it is crashing out whilst loading the program into the program memory not whilst it is interpreting it. I believe it should instead be generating the error "Name too long" during interpretation. You might want to check the PicoMite too, I haven't got my test framework running on that yet ... I will need to customize the firmware. Best wishes, Tom Edited 2022-10-05 01:06 by thwill Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Try typing any command and then RUN fname$ e.g. font 1 run "grain" |

The problem is in some code I added to try and solve a bunch of issues Tom had passing parameters to MM.CMDLINE$ as documented in the previous page of this thread. I can back these changes out but that leaves the issues there. For the moment stick to b10 - almost no other changes of note Tom: if you want to help solve the issues let me know. |

I was confused for a minute, but I now see that you never issued a beta with those command-line flag fixes until today in response to my latest (but one) bug report. Are you requesting that I do some testing and diagnosis for you ? or for me to try and fix the problems myself ? If the latter then I need access to the b11 source-code. I'd ask you to push it to a new branch in your MMB4W github but I know how git adverse you are  . Can you suggest an alternative ?Also note there will be a delay as (a) my only Windoze machine has an earlier Visual Studio tool-chain and (b) I'm not very familiar with the Visual Studio tool-chain in the first place. No, I can't upgrade as this is a day-job machine and needs to be using the same tool-chain versions as my colleagues.
