Ah, okay XD I still wonder how fast it will be >.>
An actual command might be more conducive to making background music via an interrupt (I just wanted to use the word conducive ^-^)

I tried that with axe.... BAD result XD
Even axe slowed down like hell XP
the best way is output one note per loop.

Is grammer also useful for math stuff?


Yeong, Dang you

It depends on the kind of math you are working with. It cannot use large numbers (should I add a command for that?), but it can run algorithms quickly and efficiently. For example, when I was studying Number Theory over the summer, I made algorithms using Grammer to compute such things as nCr, gcd(), lcm(), prime testing and whatnot (I have added some of those as commands). I have also made a gravity simulator in Grammer code, so that works nicely and I have made several arbitrary precision algorithms (like for the four functions), and I have made algorithms for finding the square root (rounded or not), drawing a circle or line, sine and cosine, and all sorts of other goodies. A lot of these algorithms turned into actual commands that I rewrote in assembly :D

So really, it depends on what you need to do XD The math in Grammer is limited, but it typically returns a lot of info. For example, division returns the rounded down value in Ans which is great for a lot of algorithms and it also returns the remainder in theta prime which is often even better in number theory.

If you have any questions on how to do something, you can post in the Grammer Q&A topic :D I would love to help with math stuff if I can XD

Erm, I accidentally posted the update in the regular Grammer topic, so I am pretty much copying and pasting x.x

Update time!
Okay, with this version, there are some significant updates that will lend to some much needed features and that will help me add new commands.
Bug Fixes:
-Apparently I broke the sprite routines in the last version, but only for the non-hex commands. I fixed it here

Updated Commands:
-Now any variable name inputs aren't limited to named vars. For example, "DStr1" is a valid variable name (to access Str1)
-Fix has another mode for Hexadecimal mode. This makes all numbers get read as hexadecimal.

New Commands:
-Asm(
This lets you use an external, squished ASM program
-IS>(
This will use a pointer var to read variable data. It then increments the pointer var.
-Archive
-Unarchive
-Delvar
-solve(
This is actually going to be a command subset. This has currently 3 commands:
solve(0 is used to copy a var from archive or RAM to a new var
solve(1 is used to copy a piece of RAM to another location (copying forward)
solve(2 is used to copy a piece of RAM to another location (copying backwards)

I don't have any real example programs ready that display the new commands in action, but I can see these new commands as being highly useful. For example, using the IS>( command will make it fairly easy to make a parser. I actually made this because I was working on a drawing program that stored the drawing as shapes and commands as opposed to a bitmap.

I would like to add augment( and sub( to resize variables, too.

I hope this works out well for people! Hopefully I can add new sound and particle effects, sometime
I am also working on the start of an error handler, but I want to make it like a hook. Like, if you do something that will cause an error, it redirects the code to another part of the program for you to handle.

Good thing: we can give you twice as much +1s :D
Also, have you checked my signature (new userbar in it) ;D
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

click here to know where you got your last +1s

Hey folks, here is a new update that has a rather gorgeous looking command! I have finally added in the Pt-Change( command! It currently only does one Tilemap type, but it does it well. I am going to post a new version of my tilemap editor in its topic and I hope the speed knocks your socks off. Anyway, here is the command syntax and download:
Pt-Change(0,MapLoc,TileLoc,MapWidth,MapX,MapY,TileLogic
0 is the map type (I plan to have other tilemap routines with different syntaxes)
MapLoc is a pointer to the tilemap data. Tilemaps are formed in rows first, then columns
TileLoc points to the 8x8 tile data
MapWidth is the number of tiles wide your map is. The minimum is 12.
MapX is the X offset into the map data to start reading at
MapY is the Y offset into the map data to start reading at
TileLogic is the sprite logic method to use when drawing the tiles. If you want to play with the DataSwap option, back up your sprite data and copy it to a tempvar XD

Also, sprites cannot be in hex form :/ (it would slow things down a tad)
Here is a screeny that shows off some randomly generated maps :D

So what I am working on now is some stuff for circles. I have two ideas for pattern input:

Circle(Y,X,R,t,ON,OFF
ON will be the number of pixels to draw on, then OFF is the number of pixels to draw off. For example, you can draw a circle where 2 pixels are on followed by 3 off, then two on, et cetera.

Option two is:
Circle(Y,X,R,t,Pattern
Pattern will either be a byte or word that contains a bit pattern. So 85 which is 01010101 in binary will draw a circle with every other pixel off.

I prefer the second option as it is much faster, easier, and smaller. I am most likely going to go that route, but I need to figure out if the input should be 8-bit or 16-bit...

Here is a mini example...
As a note, this actually makes a grayscale circle, but I made Wabbit have only 2 shades so you could see what was happening XD

EDIT: I should also note that I rewrote the circles drawing routine. I am pretty sure it is smaller now and it is still as fast :)
EDIT2: Nevermind, it is about 1 to 2 circles slower per second with the added code above D: Still, 45 circles per second >:D
