USB Communication Error: Flash application has a bad signature.

:(
I'll apologize tomorrow for a bad mood today.

grrrr, I think it is because I changed the name using WabbitEmu and then I copied it from Wabbit. Gahh, nobody can seem to tell me how to fix this problem >.<

EDIT: Okay folks, see the Grammer 2 topic again (first post) for a version that is working :)

Ok! I just got all the grammer docs on my kindle,so now i have something to do tommorow. I already have some questions though. Are there only two particle effect? Also,how is stuff stored? if i have "quack" as a string, can i modify it like in Basic,or is it closer to axe?

There are currently two particle types, but I am working on adding a few more (including the worm particle I have been promising). And strings cannot be edited like in TI-BASIC, so I am assuming they work similarly to Axe.

Here is the code I was using:
Code: [Select]
:.0:Asm(prgmGRAMMER
:ClrHome
:ClrDraw
:Line('30,30,60,30,1
:DispGraph
:Stop

This has to do with an IRC discussion.

Okay, so the issue you were having there (as dicussed on IRC) was that the homescreen would fill up with 3x3 squares. The reason was that when I wrote the code for ClrHome, I filled it with that char instead of a space. I have it fixed for the next version.

Ok, glad that will be fixed. After having grammer on my calc for a while(accompanied by some spectacular crashes :) ), I have some things to say. Is it possible to add a feature that lets you control the direction of gravity for particles? Can you put grammer code in a basic program? This is really awesome, I look forward to making some epic stuff with it.

When using the program version of Grammer, you can stick Grammer code in a BASIC program. Anything after the Stop is read as BASIC code and you start the Grammer code with a number in Ans then Asm(prgmGRAMMER. This won't work so much with the APP version, yet, but if you use the program I released somewhere around here, it will... Sorry, I am highly distracted at the moment XD

* mrmprog is having fun!
Is it possible for us to have custom particle rules? This would probably be really hard, but worth the effort in my opinion.

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 XD

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 XD
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.

So I have yet another question. I've got two different control sets for my program (new one uses the Up+Left, Up+Right, etc. key codes.), and I also want to have the ability to save position by sending the coordinates to an appvar. I want it to test for the existence of the variable, then create it if need be, then require a second button press to make sure you really want to save it. I want it to have 4 bytes, the first two is the vertical coords, second horizontal. Then, when another pair of buttons is pressed I want it to recall the coordinates by pulling the first 2 bytes, storing it to the coordinate variable, then recall the last 2 and storing it to the other coordinate variable. Is this possible?
I'll apologize tomorrow for a bad mood today.
