There aren't any high level string commands. You can plot any string of characters with plotchars. Unlike interpreted basics, 7800basic is meant to be as lean and fast as possible. In terms of low-level string manipulation, there's memset and memcpy, and roll-your-own with memory arrays and loops.

This is why I love it.

Here's the relevant excerpt from the yellow screen of death section of the manual...

You've somehow managed to begin executing data, rather than program code. This can happen if you return from a routine you didn't gosub to, or if you trigger bankswitching accidentally by writing to the bankswitch hotspot. It's possible to turn off this protection with the set breakprotect off statement, but you should figure out the reason the protection was tripped in the first place.

Well, I decided to get back to work and upon compiling, get this error:

Looks like in your source you're trying to define temp1, temp2, and temp3 variables, but those are already declared by 7800basic itself. Thus the mismatch complaints.  Would be better to just call them as mytemp1, mytemp2, and mytemp3 etc so they don't step on the temp1-temp6 variables 7800basic defines.

Well,

 I decided to rewrite my Vertical Shooter demo, using what I have learned from @mksmith, @Muddyfunster, @Mord, @RevEng, and @SmittyB. The sources and binaries will be posted when a functioning ROM is compiled.

 

Edit: Here are the Source and Binaries as promised. So far, it runs better than V4.

Time for a much-needed update. While the new shooting engine is better than what got from Atarius Maximus, I still have to correct the bug that causes the bullets to come from the bottom of the screen.
