Hi there, when I wrote XB games with multiple rooms/levels I usually defined a description string, wrote a little interpreter and stored the levels in DATA statements (or a file). Usually a level had 30 to 60 bytes and the format was depending on the game, universal would be more. I wonder whether there is a generic format to shorten the CALL HCHAR, VCHAR, SPRITE etc already established? One char per command or parameter, no need for seperators etc., i.e. five bytes for a HCHAR with character, row, column and repeat. Using 0-9, A-Z,a-z would give us 0 to 61, whereas I often used ASC(x)-48 which is faster but harder to read ... colon equals 10, D equals 20. With a level editor readability would not really be an issue, would it? Sprites would be positioned according to character coordinates (row*8)-7. CALL HCHAR(5,10,88,3) could be H5AX3 or H5:X3. Does this makes sense? Or is there already something I wasn't able to find because this is hard to google? How to handle char codes beyond 127? Any clever ideas? Thank you Steve

Hello to all here in this phantastic forum, today it is time to share a small programm to access a lot of games and applications in an easy way. I named the program "Mega Menu" it is currently in German but I add a manual in English and it works only with a TIPI system from 1.0betav34 and RXB. So I know I have much room for improvements. But the program is not just another menu program. - It shows date and time from the tipi system - The program shows the RXB version used - There are three screen displays with 30 menu entries each - It shows the mapped folders to the drives DSK1, DSK2 and DSK3 - Use CTRL + 1 to 3 to change the drive mapping from every screen - Use CTRL + D to catalog DSK1 - 3 - Use CTRL + C to configure your own programs in the selection screen or make a individual submenu For more informations please read the MEGA MENU Manual MegaMenu_Manual.pdf

Hi Guys, yesterday I have run into a nasty Syntax Error in Extended Basic, which also occurs in RXB. I don't understand it and wonder if the line really contains a Syntax Error or this is a Interpreter Bug. Version 1: 1 IF A=1 THEN 2 ELSE FOR I=1 TO 2 :: PRINT I :: NEXT I 2 END Version 2: 1 IF A=1 THEN 2 :: FOR I=1 TO 2 :: PRINT I :: NEXT I 2 END Both versions complain about a Syntax Error in Line 1. I would like to analyze it with the help of you and maybe RXB can be even fixed. -
Howdy TIers. I hate to start a new thread, but I couldn't find a good place for it. So, I am working on a proof of concept for launching programs from a program: 100 CALL CLEAR 110 INPUT "FILENAME:":FL$ :: IF FL$="" THEN 110 120 RUN "DSK1."&FL$ But this gives * SYNTAX ERROR IN 120. However, if I change 120 to 120 PRINT "DSK1."&FL$ I get the expected string printed on the screen (i.e., if I type in LOAD for the input, I get DSK1.LOAD printed on the screen). Why does RUN not like this syntax? Is this possible through XB, or am I just wasting my time? Thanks for reading!

They are equipped with a small, internal power generator, and several plug-in sockets. They are commonly found on under-developed worlds that do not have an expansive power grid, or in mobile military operations. Although they are extremely important to both military and civilian life, power droids are so commonly encountered in the galaxy that they often go unnoticed. The GNK droid by Industrial Automaton and the EG-series droid by Veril Line Systems are popular power droids. Both are commonly referred to as "gonks" after the low honking sound they can emit.

Does anyone know how to use GRAPHICOMP by Barrry Traver? Do you you let his program look at your whole program listing, or do you just make a file of only graphic related parts? How do you get past the 4th screen? Here is a sample of some GRAPHICs I would like to speed up the drawing of in XB. I guess if it works, it makes a file and you CALL LINK to that file somehow.
