Would it be neat to see xlib as a shell?

It'd be neat to see it combined with fast rpl or something similare

I am not sure, how much work would it add to code my xlib games?

Thanks, but I rather not have a pic set to the side just for using his little program :P as I have plenty of people to thank already. Also welcome to the boards!

...actualy, only the shell maker would have to put that in their credits and use room on their flash page...but it seems like it be better to make a new prgram for it that'd be a little faster than 5-10 minutes on occasion.

I now use this in every xLIB program. VERY good idea.

You might want to do

Code: Select all

:1
:real(0
:If not(Ans
:Then
:ClrHome
:Output(1,1,"PLEASE INSTAL XLIB BEFORE TRYING TO RUN THIS GAME
:Pause
:End
:If not(Ans
:Stop

Actually I do

Code: Select all

:1 
:real(0 
:If not(Ans 
:Then
:Output(1,1,"*--------------*-PLEASE INSTALL--     xLIB     -*--------------*
:Stop
:End
The Stop won't cause a memory leak there since it restores the program stack and exits. I think it also doesn't display Done.

I believe that real is affected by Ans if xlib isn't installed.
