For what it's worth, I added a window up scroll routine to the library. Allows text areas to be scrolled up as they fill up, without messing up other areas of the screen.

Boriel, I know the compiler's pseudorandom number generator is better than the one in the ROM.

Seen this:

?

If it's smaller, faster or better, you might want to consider

For posterity, an 8 bit result with 32 bit seed that passes diehard test for 32 bit entropy:

Anyone got a reference for how to read current ink, paper bright flash and inverse from pflags?

How about bold and italics - where can I find the current status of those?

It would be nice if overloading was supported - functions and subroutines of the same name with different parameters.

For example:

change(ubyte ink, ubyte paper) could change the attributes for the whole screen to a specific ink/paper value without clearing it.
change() sets them to the current permanent colours...
change (ubyte ink, ubyte paper, ubyte start_row, ubyte end_row) could change just part of the screen...

And so on and so forth.

Its going to be a simple fun strategy game

Hi Boriel, I currently make the ZXBC library helper for BorIDE and found some errors:
LCase.bas

Quote:----------------------------------------------------------------
' function LCase(s as String)

' Parameters:
' s: Input String

Quote:' Returns:

Quote:SC_ENTER or SC_SPACE

Quote:KEYENTER or KEYSPACE

do you think the compilation of speccy games would go faster if the compiler was written in a faster language like java?

btw yacc is available in java

press the spacebar to save and your sprites will be there in the same folder as the executable ready to cut and paste into your basic code

(the save is called .monkeystate)

EDIT - altered the colors to match speccy colors

Im making a sprite creator for speccy, does anyone know the RGB values 0-255 for each spectrum color?
