Re: Missing Feature Checklist

Sooo is there any way to set an array to a determined list? Like DIM AX(5) = {1,2,3,4,5}?

Re: [News] BBC BASIC Beta Testing - 2009/03/06 r720

Yeah, the way i tested it was this. I made program RND Repeat Print RND(7) Wait50 Until False ran it, and recorded the first 6 numbers it gave. Then i saved, closed, and restarted BBc Basic. I repeated this 20 times and got the following statistics for how much each digit appeared in each iteration ...

Re: [News] BBC BASIC Beta Testing - 2009/03/06 r720

Hi again, i hope i'm not being a nag, but I found an interesting quirk, although i'm not sure its a bug, and i'm not sure anything can be done, as it might be part of the original program. :puzzled: The RND behaves strangely when first used, and I'm not talking about being initialized by run, I mean...

Re: Editor?

Bwang has a point. Everybody I've talked to about BBC Basic is all for it and very enthusiastic until they find out how the editor works. It seems to be a major turn away factor :(

On a side note, are programs stored as tokens or characters?

Re: [General] Designing Programs with Physics

:) I once wrote a pixel based physics engine in Ti Basic. Given a pic, and a starting position/velocity, it would simulate physics for a single pixel. I eventually incorporated this into my arcade version of Peggle http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/419/41981.html The physics might not be...

Re: Interested

Unarchiving is easy, yes; archiving, no. You have to go via the TI-OS to copy data to the archive, and as BBC BASIC leaves the calculator in a state that is not compatible with the TI-OS (custom interrupt handler, allocated memory, use of all registers including the shadow registers) this would cau...

Re: Interested

The TI-OS does not make it possible to take control of this process, so you cannot archive variables within BBC BASIC (you can, however, read archived variables transparently). :? What about the countless programs such as CelticII and Darkerlines tiny unarchiver that are floating around. I know it ...

Re: Rain Competition Results

Another win by default? This is getting strangely repetitive... I am cursed!! :P

But yeah, you can use my code if you want! Its too bad we didn't have more entries. All the others were good :)

:D and I have a breakout game coming up! I just need to figure out menus and such. I'm surprised that nobody else is making any sort of games for BBC Basic, it really is quite powerful. EDIT: lol, i just went anr read the readme, and i spelled Tetris wrong two different ways in the introduction! &qu...

Re: [News] BBC BASIC Beta Testing - 2009/03/06 r720

well there are currently still many other ways of not letting yourself type *bye. Like *FX 12,1 *FX 11,1 ;) And it seems that if you knew what you were you were doing, you could enable it in the begining of your program, and then disable it back at the end. Its just that 2nd and Alpha are probably t...
