 PlayBASIC V1.65C3 BETA #7 (Retail Compiler Only Beta) - (Avail for Registered Users ONLY)  (27th Sep , 2023)

     V1.65C3 Beta #7 is the current build of the compiler .   This also includes a build of the Runtimes  


      Build 7 fixes the SIGN bug for floats where it would do conversion of the float to integer which would round it.. Normally this isn't a problem, but it is for values near zero.   That logic has been replaced now.    So if you pass an Integer it performs the comparison on Integers and if you pass a float it occurs on the Floats..    (bug found by Stevmjon)

  ; Older versions of V1.65 will give odd results in this code

a# = -1.9
b# = 0
c# = 1.9

print "value -1.9 = sign: " + str$( sgn(a#) )
print "value 0    = sign: " + str$( sgn(b#) )
print "value 1.9  = sign: " + str$( sgn(c#) )
print ""


a# = -0.9
b# = 0
c# = 0.9

r=sgn2(a#)
print "value -0.9 = sign: " + str$( r )
r=sgn2(b#)
print "value 0    = sign: " + str$( r )
r=sgn2(c#)
print "value 0.9  = sign: " + str$( r )


print ""

print "value 0    = sign: " + str$( sgn(b#) )
print "value 0.9  = sign: " + str$( sgn(c#) )

endfunction result

 PlayBASIC V1.65C3 BETA #8b (Retail Compiler Only Beta) - (Avail for Registered Users ONLY)  (29th Sep , 2023)

     V1.65C3 Beta #8b is the current build of the compiler .


      Build 8 replace the implementation of the RoundUp and RoundDown functions.    I honestly don't know how these were originally intended to work as there's little to no definition of them..   So these changes will no doubt break old programs that use the original behavior; so careful what you wish !  :)

 

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

   openscreen 1000,1000,32,1

   loadfont "courier new" ,1 ,24
   spacing = 150

   text xpos            ,ypos,"Value:"
   text xpos+spacing*1   ,ypos,"RoundDown()"
   text xpos+spacing*2   ,ypos,"RoundDown2()"

   text xpos+spacing*3   ,ypos,"RoundUp()"
   text xpos+spacing*4   ,ypos,"RoundUp2()"
   text xpos+spacing*5   ,ypos,"Floor()"
   text xpos+spacing*6   ,ypos,"Ciel()"

   
   ypos+=30
   for lp =-20 to 20
      Value#=lp/10.0
      text xpos            ,ypos,Value#   
      text xpos+spacing*1   ,ypos,RoundDown(Value#   )
      text xpos+spacing*2   ,ypos,RoundDown2(Value#   )
      text xpos+spacing*3   ,ypos,Roundup(Value#   )
      text xpos+spacing*4   ,ypos,Roundup2(Value#   )

      text xpos+spacing*5   ,ypos,Floor(Value#   )
      text xpos+spacing*6   ,ypos,Ceil(Value#   )
      ypos+=20
   next

sync
waitkey





function RoundDOWN2(ThisVALUE#)
   if (ThisVALUE#>=0)
      Result= ThisVALUE# - 0.5
   else
      Result= ThisVALUE# + 0.5
   endif
EndFunction Result




function RoundUp2(ThisVALUE#)
   if (ThisVALUE#>=0)
      Result= ThisVALUE# + 0.5
   else
      Result= ThisVALUE# - 0.5
   endif
EndFunction Result

  

      Build 8 is also using the latest update the memory manager at runtime.  These changes were moved across from recent compiler work so that that front and back end can use the same mechanics..  They've only been in place for a day but seem to be running as expected.  Some other tweaks can be found in the debugger with the Stack info as well as stack overflow detection is a bit better also.   Previously if your code overflowed the runtime stack; the runtime would hang..  now if your lucky you might get an error.  It'll try and give you a line number; but generally those errors will only get caught as at sync or runtime refresh.   The later occurs when a program executes more than 6 million instructions and needs to check system messages.    


     Anyway, have fun..

 PlayBASIC V1.65C3 BETA #9 (Retail Compiler Only Beta) - (Avail for Registered Users ONLY)  (3rd Oct, 2023)


      Build 9 restores  RoundUp and RoundDown functions to make that of V1.64 revisions.    The newer versions are still available just renamed as  RoundUp2 and RoundDown2

      A few other functions are available also;  such as Poke2Bytes / Poke3Bytes / Poke4Bytes   and a few that appear to be undocumented commands.   One handy one seems to the RgbFLT(R#,G#,B#)  which is a floating point version of the RGB() function.  In this version the R#/G#/B# fields should range between 0.0 and 1.0

     The runtime has a few more tweaks with the internally bound command sets... I want to remove that block of instructions form the runtime;   But i've more work to do with that; some of those instructions also had a few legacy hooks into the how the older VM stored programs..  which was a bit of worry;  but I think they weren't in use; so this step shouldn't really break anything.
