BatLib

All I can say is... Nice Also, to answer you, Scout, I plan to make it a little different... You will be able to use a pointer to the sprite data, then you have the size, coordinates, and method arguments, so:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3

"Str1→A                ;This returns a pointer to Str1 in A Pt-On(A,X,Y,W,H,T

With strings, good as well!

I just noticed in the readme that the name for command 68 is wrong It should be MakeString. I must have copied and pasted there or something, but it is used to create a string returned in Ans that is a specified length

dim(68

Never tried it, gotta do, thanks.

[Xeda112358]

Yeah, I only really made that command to give users a way to start tilemap data or fontsets/sprite sets

I know there's dim(22 but I'd like a command that lets us type hex for several lines:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5

dim(X 210100 EF0745 EF7942

Can that be done in BatLib or ReCode?

[Xeda112358]

hehe, I am glad you asked Scout I made a program a while back that lets you do something similar:

That will compress a program, but I could definitely modify the code a little for BatLib That program never really was popular and it was originally supposed to be part of LSDOS, but... I guess it didn't work out

[Munchor]

I like it much Zeda

Okay, so Scout asked earlier for an update, so I threw this together with these updates:
-ReCode starts in 6MHz mode
-dim(10 is executed at 6MHz
-Pause (in ReCode) is executed at 6MHz
-dim(44 (a sound routine) is executed at 6MHz
-Changed 'Pause While' to 'Pause If ' to prevent problems with nesting inside of a While/If...Then block
-dim(1 now also disables 'Done'

I also added command 94 which is used to insert data. It doesn't catch if the user is inserting data outside of the variable, though:
dim(94,Offset,"VarName","String"|Str#
-If the Offset is 0, the string of data will be inserted at the beginning of the var.
-"VarName" is the name of the var to insert data into. If this is not in RAM, a string ".ARCH" will be returned.
-The last argument can either be a string or the number of a string (Str1=0, Str2=1, et cetera). If you use the number, the string can be in archive

Also, I think I might know how to fix up the CopyProg command which will be very useful I also might add my ASMComp program for use with ReCode and as a command to compress asm programs. Here is a screenie for the program:


Sorry, I haven't updated the readme, yet, so it is just the App:

Did you update dim(57? Just wondering, it's already in my calculator

[Xeda112358]

No, I didn't update that I actually cannot remember the last time I updated that

(for those who don't know, dim(57 is what returns the version of BatLib as a string)

[Munchor]

In the version before this you did ;P

[Xeda112358]

Hehe, okay Maybe if I remember for the next update, I will, but I'm not guaranteeing it! ;P

[Munchor]

Could you make it an integer instead of a string? Let's say you add new commands and we want to check if the version is higher than X:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2	If dim(57>X

Even if it doesn't use the dots, it's just a straightforward number.

[Xeda112358]

Hmm, I could add in a new command just to return the number, yes. I actually have it set up to do that nicely... So for v4.00.95.51, it would display 95.51 in Ans. Does that sound good?
