warning: [W180] Unreachable code problem?

Posted by: maeloterkim - 2021-09-10, 07:17 PM - Forum: Bug Reports - Replies (5)

Hi if i compile this, says

warning: [W180] Unreachable code

but i don't know why

the version is zxbasic-1.15.2

Code:
' EXAMPE UNRECHABLE CODE

declare sub mySub() 

Dim myNumber As uByte

cls

myBucle:

    for myNumber = 0 to 7           

        mySub()                   

    next myNumber

    goto myBucle

sub mySub()

end sub

why is there 2 halt on waitretrace macro?

Posted by: maeloterkim - 2021-09-09, 07:02 PM - Forum: Help & Support - Replies (1)

why is there 2 halt on waitretrace macro?

i found in the library this waitretrace macro in the retrace.bas file

REM simple WaitRetrace macro

#ifndef waitretrace
#define waitretrace 'REM Retrace \
asm \
halt \
halt \
end asm

#endif

Is not better put only one halt for better timer control of the programmer?

if there was only one halt is more easy to control

with one halt we can do

waitretrace -> only 1 halt 1/50 seconds

2 halt      -> 2/50seconds
waitretrace
waitretrace

N halt    -> N/50seconds
for i = 1 to N
waitretrace
next i

Is posible put a ubyte variable just after DIM

Posted by: maeloterkim - 2021-09-04, 03:17 PM - Forum: Help & Support - Replies (2)

Hi

Is posible put a ubyte variable just after DIM WITHOUT ASSEMBLER maybe with AT @ or something

Example:

Code:
DIM udg(1, 7) AS uByte => {{0,1,3,7,15,31,63,127}, _

                           {1,2,4,7,15,31,63,127}}

DIM myVariable as ubyte  

I WANT THIS VARIABLE VALUE JUST THE NEXT BYTE AT THE END OF LAST UDG DIM BYTE LIKE THIS

ADDRESS       1  2  3  4   5   6   7   8     9  10   11  12   13   14   15   16        17

VALUE         0  1  3  7  15  31  63  127    1   2   4    7   15   31   63   127    myVariable 

              --------------------      DIM UDG  -------------------------------

struggle on using/implementing sprite libraries

Posted by: nitrofurano - 2021-08-25, 09:02 PM - Forum: Wishlist - Replies (2)

since a long time i was thinking how simple or possible would be using sprite engines/libraries on zxbasic-compiler (just like those used on z88dk and so on)

so i started to try this (very glitchy and inefficient, as the code shows... Big Grin )

(wsad or cursors for moving)

Code:
ink 1

border 1:ink 5:bright 1: paper 1: cls

sub putudgsprite(txp1 as uinteger,typ1 as uinteger,tad1 as uinteger)

  poke uinteger $5C7B,tad1+(7-(typ1 mod 8))+(txp1 mod 8)*32

  print at int(typ1/8),int(txp1/8);"\A\C"

  print at 1+int(typ1/8),int(txp1/8);"\B\D"

  end sub

yo=0:xo=0

putudgsprite(xo,yo,@udg01)

x1=128:y1=128

do

  cn1=((255-(in 64510)) band 2)/2 bor ((255-(in 65022)) band 2) bor ((255-(in 65022)) band 1)*4 bor ((255-(in 65022)) band 4)*2 :'- wsad

  cn2=((255-(in 61438)) band 8)/8 bor ((255-(in 61438)) band 16)/8 bor ((255-(in 63486)) band 16)/4 bor ((255-(in 61438)) band 4)*2 :'-7658

  cn0=cn1 bor cn2

  x1=x1-((cn0 band 4)/4)

  x1=x1+((cn0 band 8)/8)

  y1=y1-((cn0 band 1)/1)

  y1=y1+((cn0 band 2)/2)

  over 1  

  putudgsprite(xo,yo,@udg01)

  xo=x1:yo=y1

  putudgsprite(x1,y1,@udg01)

  pause 1

  loop

do:loop

udg01:
