Grammer Feature Requests

[Yeong]

iPart is only good for storing few datas. The code gets ugly once I start to type something like this...

C[0,1,3,ㅠFF,ㅠ01,4,2,ㅠEE,ㅠ78,3,1,.....

Okay, two things:
1) Thanks for voting on the poll! It so far looks mixed. I plan in any event to add text compression to Grammer 3
2) I have a few new updates based on this thread-- I added yeong's request (including a request via IRC) and I added in more variable support (such as Str133, GDB67, et cetera). On top of that, I added support for storing Grammer strings to OS strings.

See EDIT2 on this post for details and the download is on that post, too

I think text compression is a great idea. It'll help out for projects that have large chunks of text. What about compressing graphical data?

[Xeda112358]

That could be tough and it depends .__. The text compressor only works with 46 chars and works using some stats on the most common appearances of letters. Of course, making a general routine that scans any data would probably be neat, too

[Art_of_camelot]

Ah, ok. Also, didn't realize the compressor was for short texts ( I probably overlooked it) . And yea, a general routine would be sweet.

[Xeda112358]

Oh, I meant only 46 chars can be used. The text can be any size (as long as it and its compressed form fit in RAM).
The characters include punctuation, uppercase letters, numbers, and a few other chars.

can you add a "Line Jumping" feature?
like if you put ln(+3, it jumps to 3 lines after (maybe line must be defined by newline token) and ln(-3 jumps back 3 lines and stuff.
It'll be cool.

[Xeda112358]

Okay, wonderful idea and here is your update! As a note, ln(0 will jump forward 65536 lines. Here are some examples:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5

ln(3                 ;jumps to the line with "Yeah! "Hi "Whaddup? "Yeah!             ;The code jumps here

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6

Lbl "ScrollMenu→Z prgmZ            ;StartOfLoop DispGraph If getKey(15 ln(-3              ;jumps back to prgmZ

Again, thanks for the token idea, especially! I made a version for ReCode that used other tokens (and was conditional) and I have wanted to add it to Grammer as well, very much. Thanks!

@Xeda: Ah ok, it's just a limited character set. That's fine then. =D

[Yeong]

New token hook thingy looks great.
However, it kinda bothers me that I can't put "[" in the string anymore. (If I do, the code doesn't work properly )
Is there a way to disable the token hook at the string part?

[Xeda112358]

I think in the next update, I will just remove the hook for { and [. And why can't you put a "[" in a string? It should still show up as [ when it is displayed...

[Yeong]

I don't know what's happening, but it just doesn't work
It just quits Grammer X.x

[Xeda112358]

Oh, jeez, nevermind, I know what it is .__. Here is the fix. I noticed it yesterday when I was making the flame animation and I fixed it and did not even think to upload the fix here. For ASM programmers, I originally needed an extra POP to exit the routine, but then I rearranged it to not need that, but I left the POP in.

Yet Another Feature Requests/Maybe Question

1)How do I copy picture to memory address? (I'm pretty sure it can be done with Fill( command but just making sure.)

2)I think I read something about 32 bit number stuff. Are you still planning to implement it?
