Thank you PT_!

I know that there are still several things that programs in BASIC can do that ICE can't, namely Strings (E.g. Str1="3A"). You have conveniently eliminated this problem and I hope to include this in future programs.

I don't understand why the Y position keeps getting higher (well technically lower, but higher on the screen), eventhough my var checks comes out as expected (which should make JUMP-1->JUMP as shown in the code).



Code:

That is because JUMP goes from 1 to 20 and backwards, and you keep subtracting it from Y, so once you reach 0 again, Y is equal to 160-1-2-3...-20-19-18...-2-1=-240. However, since you use Line_NoClip, it seems like the character is moving up again (which is true but should be out of screen). Also, be sure to replace that While loop with a Repeat.

My calculator freezes and I'm not sure why.


Code:

I'm having trouble with printing List values. For one, am I supposed to be using PrintUInt(), and if not, what? The second thing might be that its not printing the list value, but my code that is wrong. Please bear with me with all the subprograms. They were meant to help edit the program easier. In my program, when I try to print out my list value (e.g. PrintUInt(L1(3*7*ICUR))), it prints out numbers that I did not want (they seem kind of random too and dont correspond to anything thats SHOULD be in the list). Btw, if you look in my code under storing from the appvar to lists, every seventh (starting with the first) DATA slot represents the price for the land (hence PrintUInt(L1(3*7*ICUR))). Also when the number is 0, that means that it is not a land (chance, go, etc.):

They say there are no stupid questions, so...
When I use the "Input" command, it switches the screen to what you get when you run an ICE program without det(1. Am I doing anything wrong or is it a bug? Thanks in advance!

No, the Input is for the homescreen, if you want something on the screen with the gfx (using det(1)), you need to make a custom input routine.

I can PM you with a routine if you need one?

I wrote a really good custom input routine in hybrid basic before, It uses xLIBc, so if you aren't familiar with that, then you should get the sdk out, but I believe there is an equivalent command for all of the functions used available in ICE, so it should be relatively easy to translate to an ICE-usable format. You might also have to change the coordinates of where text and shapes appear to fit wherever you want them to. I really like this one because it allows the user to enter uppercase letters, lowercase letters and digits.

Code:

For reference, here is what all the xLIBc commands that I used do

Code:

Here is the DCSE8 SDk that describes how all the commands and their arguments work

Is there a way to store multiple values to a list in one line in ICE, ie. {3,1,4,1,5}->L1? Thanks in advance!

Yep, the syntax for doing so is as follows:

Code:

Here is what your line would look like

Code:

DESTINATION is the list, and SIZE is the number of bytes allocated for each element in the list, in this case, since all your numbers are under 255, we should be able to use only 1 byte.
However, since we used a size that is not 3-bytes, then the way you access the data in the list will have to be different (because 3 is the default)
Here is how you would do it:

Code:

Interestingly enough, if I split the appvar in half, my program worked. Also for convience, since the price of a building never changes, I simply just went directly from Data(3,...,...,..) to Copy(L1,DATA,...)

Read this documentation on using ICE lists, and while your at it, you mine as well read the whole thing.

I am writing a program, and I have a 'for(' loop, which goes from 0-10, but I want to store a value in a variable which goes from 0-5, then back to 0. This is easily accomplished with the Absolute value function, but ICE does not support that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You can try this:

Code:


Or something similar. Hope this helps!

I have a menu in my program where you select a number using the left and right keys. Is there a way to make them scroll like to color select in the Cesium menu, where you need to hold a key for about .5 seconds before it starts repeating? Thanks in advance!

I am not positive, but I think Mateo has not modified the OS button repeat at all so just using the normal getKey methods should work. I would advise that using things like the below example will be faster:

Code:

If you use the above example, you are bound to have much faster key presses than the cesium color menu. However, if you use the below code, I believe it to maintain the OS mode better:

Code:

Thanks a lot for your quick replies to my somewhat hard to understand questions!
