Hi,
I quickly made a first V8 preview beta (which can compile for iPAD!!!)
http://www.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe (http://www.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe)
The manual is not up to date. See http://www.glbasic.com/xmlhelp.php (http://www.glbasic.com/xmlhelp.php) instead.
Now to start testing it mercilessly...
Some problems :
Returning a value from a function in type generates a compiler error - Fixed with 8.006Cant pass a type to a function in a type - Had my TYPE's mixed up :) Compiling to Linux generates the following warning : /cygdrive/S/Compiler/platform/Linux/Lib/libGLBasicLinux.a(gf_sockets.o)(.text+0x13f1): In function `netGetLocalIPs(int*, char const*)':
: warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking - Fixed- Compiling to iPhone generates compiler errors when using functions in types
Cant compile for XBox - compiling completely fails - Fixed- Cant use a type in one file, when it is defined in another
UNTIL expression is wrong - Fixed
Downloading and testing with my project for iphone.
=D
Wohohoooo
Santas come this year on summer :P.
Thanks for your support Gernot!!
King Regards, fjsantos.

Where is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit?
It sounds like Gollum's character.. :D
Fantastic. Nice. Beauty. And, as a practical test, I was able to compile my 3D game to the larger resolution. :booze: Woo hoo ... it's iPad time!!!!
What about support fo the new iPhone4? - http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/iphone-4-announced/
The screen is doubled now (960x640), as well as some other changes to the hardware :blink: Where will this all end? Apple updating their stuff every three minutes. Devs don't have a chance to support any version properly before it's outdated. Apple will fragment their own market.
Slight problem with the Linux version : symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: undefined symbol: XAllocClassHint. I do have Ubuntu 10's X11 dev installed...
AT&T might muck things up for Apple, they're eliminating unlimited internet altogether and having two packages, 200mb monthly limit for $15 and 2gb monthly limit for $25. However, like most phone companies, exceeding these limits leads to additional fees.
Hopefully we might see Apple jump that ship and possibly open doors to other services.

I think it's not a problem at all. Just a change in the platform.ini file.

Yes. I totally agree that the double resolution is a true pain. WTF? I mean, 320x480 is really enough for an iPhone sized device. Win Mobile usually is 320x240. Was OK, too.
I think I won't support that resolution myself and stick with 320x480 for iPhone.
any other new features beside IPad support?
I see its still not possible to use the same function name in different types. Will this be changed?
Quoteany other new features beside IPad support?
There is the NOT, ENCRYPT$, DECRYPT$, REPEAT and UNTIL commands.
QuoteI see its still not possible to use the same function name in different types. Will this be changed?
It would be nice.
Has PLATFORMINFO$ been updated so that "" will return iPod/iPhone or iPad ?
function name is a bug. IPAD is returned correctly. See the xml help online.
Landscape display modes are offset now for iPhone/iPad and not displaying correctly. :'(
Can someone please confirm and flag as an important bug fix!
offset by how much? Very strange.
The offset about a third of the screen left and up. As if the width and height haven't been changed when rotated from 320x480 to 480x320 because the side is cut off.
oh. on iPhone? Did you specify the platform options to 480x320 instead of iPad sizes? (Just check to be sure).
It is the same for iPod Touch (480x320) and iPad (1024x768). I think this issue is there for the v7 also with 3D.
Simply put, DRAWRECT 0,0,480,320,RGB(255,0,0);SHOWSCREEN;MOUSEWAIT // is not centered when compiled in landscape 480x320 as iPhone. :whip:
Another slight problem is that a type cant be used in another type :
TYPE Ta
FUNCTION blah%:
ENDFUNCTION
ENDTYPE
TYPE Tb
test as Ta
FUNCTION go%:
test.blah()
ENDFUNCTION
ENDTYPE
Generates : warning : note : TYPE is not declared and error : wrong argument type : TYPE is not declared
hm... with the resolution of 1024*768 i can see the title bar and i can move the window, too. :blink:
Or is it only a problem with more than 1 display?

self.test.blah() works in my version (changed something, might not work in yours. My error was: call to undefined function "test" in that line.
Yes - that works. Keep forgetting the self command... ;/
Yes, its coming along nicely.
I haven't tried the Linux executable with 8.006 yet, but most of the other bugs seem to be fixed with the exception of compiling to iPhone :

Currently, NOT wont invert the sign of a number :
DEBUG NOT(-1)+"\n"
DEBUG NOT(1)+"\n"
Both return 0
It would be nice if a TYPE defined in one file could be used in another - at the moment it generates the usual "warning : note : TYPE Tc is not declared"
It would be nice to have a program parameter like "dockwindow" with parameters like "left, top, right, bottom, center" where you can set the start position of your game window wouldn´t it? :)
@Gernot: Would it be hard to implement this function?
greetz
Thanks for this.
I can't wait to get something running on my iPad
and how do you set the position of your glbasic window after using GetSystemMetrics() ? :blink:
Oh yes. The -_-_ replacement in the app name was required, because the iPhone program did not work if it had spaces in the name.
I fixed the other bugs and will do an live-update soon.
Thank you for the update!
One slight problem :
This loop is okay :
self.row[newSize%].TColumn_Initialise()
However, when you try to add a value to newSize% (an offset, if you will), eg :
self.row[newSize%+1].TColumn_Initialise()
The compiler generates an "error : call to undefined function : TColumn" error
Occasionally I have noticed that the editor cursor isn't displayed after a program exits - you have to select a different window before returning for it to be displayed.
GAH! I've been trying to fix that about a dozent times now. So a stupid error. In Debug mode or release?
Both!

Operator NOT inverts a boolean expression, not inverts the sign. Any number not zero is evaluated to true and the zero is false. Then, I think your test is ok.
NOT(-1) --> NOT(true) --> false --> 0
NOT(1) --> NOT(true) --> false --> 0
Yes - I would like NOT to work on both boolean operators and arithmetic ones
that exists. bNOT().
Ooh - yes! Forgot about that...
One other thing - I have noticed that the editor lists functions in types twice - once with % and once without
[EDIT]
Fixed.

Dont forget JPEG's :)
NETWEBGET doesn't seem to be working in V8 on a Windows 7 or XP machines - Scramble is just returning an empty scores.ini file, for example.
Could someone else test as its quite possible my router playing around :)
Also, can you try the NETWEBGET$ instead? It sounds like one of those "try to read before you write" bugs on Windows 7.
Both seem to be a problem - NETWEBGET returns 0, whilst NETWEBGET$ doesn't create the output file.
[edit]fixed.
I'm not sure SHELLCMD works on Linux on Ubuntu 10 - the clipboard routine doesn't seem to work.
When used to print some text, some font sizes dont produce readable characters. I've included one font as an example.
[attachment deleted by admin]
the font is square and thus considered as 128 characters. Sorry. A bug in the font creator?
Looks like it :)
As a temporary workaround, just make the bitmap slightly higher and it should work :-)
Will future versions feature auto rotation, so the iPad can be help in either horizontal position and the display will correct itself?
I think I read somewhere that a game got rejected because it didn't do this.
Might just have been an arsey tester though
rotate it yourself. I'll post a code snippet for that.
Cool, thanks for answering.
It's great fun running code on the iPad, thanks again!!!

thanks.
ops... and is possible (feature request :)) to add type folding too?
thanks again!
Or, how about adding a general code folding directive, like Visual Studio:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9a1ybwek.aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9a1ybwek.aspx)
Like:
#region Region Title
... code ...
#endregion
This would be handy for organizing larger projects / files by grouping common routines as one region.
Ha, but then what about nested regions?!
aw, cool.
Or the ability to add custom keywords and custom folding.
In purebasic, I use ;Segment_SomeDescription and ;EndSegment for folding sections of code.
Very useful, and keeps things looking tidy.
regards,
Dave
nobody has the same problem with the IDE? (compile error with function folding?)
I haven't tried it myself.
But, could it be specifically only when you use CALLBACK functions?
The error states:
C:\DOCUME~1\GregBUG\IMPOST~1\Temp\glbasic\gpc_tempg.cpp: In member function `DGInt __GLBASIC__::geTimer::LogicUpdater(DGNat)':
And your function definition for LogicUpdater is:
CALLBACK FUNCTION LogicUpdater: GamePhase%[Edit]
Can you even have CALLBACK functions nested in a TYPE?
Quote from: gregbug on 2010-Jun-30

a little update...
the compiler only generate errors when "close" one of this function:
CALLBACK FUNCTION LogicUpdater: GamePhase%
FUNCTION UpdateLogic: GamePhase%
FUNCTION ge_InitEngine: LogicHZ% = 200
FUNCTION ge_FreeEngine:
mmmm. i'm going crazy... :rant:
With callbacks, this works :
TYPE TT
CALLBACK FUNCTION moo%:
DEBUG "Yes\n"
ENDFUNCTION
ENDTYPE
LOCAL t AS TT
t.moo()
But not this :
TYPE TT
CALLBACK FUNCTION moo%:
DEBUG "Yes\n"
ENDFUNCTION
FUNCTION moo%:
ENDFUNCTION
ENDTYPE
LOCAL t AS TT
t.moo()
I had no problem compiling with folded code -there is an error in the ge_FreeEngine function : ENDFUNCTIONG "No\n". Fix that to something more valid, and all should be fine :)
does a callback within a type work? Dude, that's not intended. Use a PROTOTYPE instead. Much cleaner.
I haven't tried a CALLBACK in a TYPE and the proper function outside it yet - will be interesting to see what happens :)
Apple needs to slow down on its product releases otherwise you are never going to be able to go on holiday. =D
I haven't had the chance to download yet, so my appologies if this is already the case. Any chance of distributing the manual as html rather than the chm format?
Gernot did say the total package size would be too big...
You can view it online, though.
I had hoped my XML system could deal with it, but unfortunately it wasn't (found a bit of a limitation with it :) )
By the way, do you know of any programs to convert bitmaps/pngs etc to just binary data, for the MEM2SPR command ?
Write one. You can use SPRITE2MEM for that.
Where can I get the latest beta ? The first post points to 8.006 (which I already have)
I'm still running 8.002. Is the internet update on for the beta?
I'd prefer to have a download twice the size if it meant I could get the help in html rather than chm format.
And though the internet version of the help pages is the most up to date, I don't like having to be hooked up to the net, so a downloadable html set of help files is definitely my preference.
Once you've downloaded them once, wouldn't the GLBasic update tool allow you to then just update the individual pages that had changed since the last update?
yes. No idea if there is an update, though ;)
QuoteI'm still running 8.002. Is the internet update on for the beta?
Unfortunately no. However, download the file from the first page as that is 8.006
A simple question (or not)...
Are currently GLB V8 Beta compiling at native screen for iPad?
I have tried a simple test changing res at project settings.... I no see anything on screen, but apps are running (It play music... :P)
TIA, Hark0
I think 8.006 can...
Does NOT work with IF? :x
Also waiting for compressed sound support ;_; (If ever)
Yes, NOT works with IF
Doubtful with compressed sound support - you might need BASS or FMOD for that.
Quote from: MrTAToad on 2010-Jul-09Doubtful with compressed sound support - you might need BASS or FMOD for that.
That's what everyone tells me :/
But I won't kill off multiplatform support and accept some troublesome license, while still not beeing able to play any ogg's or streamed compressed sound at all :x
Quote from: MrTAToad on 2010-Jul-09
I think 8.006 can...
Ok I make another test....
EDIT: I tried other test. My steps:
1- New app with GLB 8.006 beta
2- Project settings set to 1024x768 for iphone.
3- Code with simple "hello world" text print...
4- Project runs perfect on Win32.
5- Compile for iphone.
6- Replace *.pch and modify Bundle field at *.plist
7- SDK Base missing on Xcode modified to iOS 3.2 device release
8- Compiling...
9- Singing...
10- Installed on iPad device...
11- App not work.... d'ont load.... (zoom icons in zoom icons out effect on screen)
What am I doing wrong?
I've missed something?
I have to change something in Xcode?
It has to activate the option "convert IPAD application" in Xcode?
TIA, Hark0
By the way, with INLINE, I have been using \ for splitting lines. Unfortunately with the latest update, \ is no longer accepted, and I have to change them to _
In addition, I found that, with a V7.250 project, I can compile the program, but aside from "start debug session" appearing in the output window, the program wont run.
However, I have no problems with V8 project :)
Did a quick test and landscape for iPhone/iPad is now working fine now. :)
I use this to check the correct device compile setting in GLB and XCode.
LOCAL width,height;GETSCREENSIZE width,height;PRINT "Platform,Device,Width,Height",0,0;PRINT PLATFORMINFO$("")+","+PLATFORMINFO$("DEVICE")+","+width+","+height,0,10;SHOWSCREEN;MOUSEWAIT
Result (iPad Portrait):
Platform,Device,Width,Height
IPHONE,IPAD,768,1024

grazie.

It does seem that repeated calls to SPR2MEM causes it to fail for some reason. I have the problem in my graphic to data conversion program.
The program loads a sprite, gets its size, calls SPR2MEM, writes the data to file, deletes the sprite and then proceeds to the next file.
There is more of a problem in release mode - it happens in release mode, but not so often.
Eeek - its worse than I thought : Add a DEBUG statement after SPR2MEM and all is fine, but remove it and you get the error after the first use.
Sorry...
Please can anyone help me to compile IPAD? What steps should I follow?
(For iPhone I have no problems)
TIA
It should be the same as compiling for the iPhone, but set the resolution 480 x 320 or more...

Add a SLEEP in between. I have the impression that your virus program is blocking files when quickly trying to access them... You had that problem with the GCC/GPC, too.

Alas, its not the AV this time as I disabled it...
OK, Send me some sample code then.
The Type-not-declared problem seems a bigger one. I should have not touched this.
I will have to rewrite a big portion of my source code to deal with all this.
Unfortunately it needs to be done, otherwise extended TYPE use will be limited... :good:

My steps are correct? I delete Xcode ALLWAYS before compile...

And on Xcode I compile for target family ipad... iphone or ipad/iphone?
See my steps at: http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=4604.msg35501#msg35501

EDIT: Downloading & installing 8.036. Testing for iPad. :)
EDIT2:
Nothing, it does not work :rant: :'(
Call me silly but I'm not able to compile for IPAD. I have no problem on iphone, but IPAD does not work.
I am using the latest SDK from Apple and the latest beta version GLBasic (036).
Someone can get a step by step guide for donkeys? :blink:
Thanks in advance.
I'm not at my mac at the moment, so I can't tell you exactly what you need to do, but.
In the Xcode project, open up the Targets (in the Groups & Files section)
In the list you get, scroll down and you will see something that says target device (not 100% sure), change this to iPad and you should be good to go.

Strange, sounds like your app might be crashing.
Try creating a new GL project and just enter this code
SETSCREEN 1024,768,0
WHILE TRUE
DRAWRECT 100,100,824,568,RGB(255,0,0)
SHOWSCREEN
WEND
Compile it for the iPad and it should just show a red rectangle.
If this works, then there may be a problem in your code, if this doesn't, then there may be a problem with xcode.
Hope this helps
:S
Hark0, as you have mentioned by your post that your code has graphics. Post your code so we can help you! Does my code work? If you can compile for iPhone, then it's virtually the same for iPad. Just make sure you compile at 768x1024 (or 1024x768) by setting it in the Project/Options and not with SETSCREEN.

If this works, then there may be a problem in your code, if this doesn't, then there may be a problem with xcode.
Hope this helps
Can you tell-me step by step the XCODE procedure?
I have a folder from GLB named Xcode...
HOW At this point I continue... setup xcode, set target, etc... maybe there are my error....
TIA, Hark0

Hark0, as you have mentioned by your post that your code has graphics. Post your code so we can help you! Does my code work? If you can compile for iPhone, then it's virtually the same for iPad. Just make sure you compile at 768x1024 (or 1024x768) by setting it in the Project/Options and not with SETSCREEN.
My code occupies 18 DIN A-4 pages... =D
I tried with this:
WHILE TRUE
FOR n=0 TO 768 STEP 5
DRAWLINE 0,0,n,1024,RGB(255,255,255)
DRAWLINE 768,1024,n,0,RGB(255,255,255)
NEXT
SHOWSCREEN
WEND

Strange, sounds like your app might be crashing.
Try creating a new GL project and just enter this code
SETSCREEN 1024,768,0
WHILE TRUE
DRAWRECT 100,100,824,568,RGB(255,0,0)
SHOWSCREEN
WEND

testing setscreen
AND..... NOT WORK! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
My procedure:
- Write SRC on GLB 8.036. (simple "hello world test").
- Test and works on win32
- Set Res for iphone at 768x1024 (or 1024x768).
- Compiling multiplatform for iphone.
- Modify Bundle field for sing app.
- Modify *.pch (empty file).
- Set project to RELEASE device.
- Set to 3.2 device.
- Tried for ipad, tried universal....
Nothing!!!! :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:
EDIT: Triing to compile xcode source without GLB... for testing ipad deployment etc etc etc
EDIT2: I created a NEW Xcode project (without GLB) ALL Xcode... simple "utility application" sample with rotated info panel.... compiled and works 100% on ipad.... The problem is on GLB ¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

I don't mean your full code, just your test code like "PRINT "HELLO iPad",10,10;SHOWSCREEN;MOUSEWAIT".
Anyhow, this is what I do for iPad only:
0. Plug in and sync the iPad to the Mac.
1. Open the XCode project (that's created by GLB)
2. Select "Release" in the project.
3. From the menu Project/Edit Active Target "appname".
4. Set
Base SDK to iPhone 3.2.
5. Set
Targeted Device Family]/b] to iPad.
5. Set iPhone OS Deployment Target to iPhone OS 3.2
6. Set the Code Signing Identity (if need be).
7. Hit "Build & Run".
:good:
I just tried that and work fine!!!!

Oh good! Hope to see some good stuff.
I'm not exactly sure when OS4.0 arrives for iPad but should be soon.
Can someone update the FAQ for "iPhone/iPod" please?
My idea are preparing a tutorial for my blog (with snapshots etc)..... If you want I translate and copy these tutorial for this forum.
YES?
NOT?

I've added it to the "Compiling for iPhone" section...
Thank you all once again.
This forum gets better everyday!
:good:
Should I upgrade to 8 Beta? Or wait till it uses the updater instead of requiring full downloads every time you've updated it.
Taking into consideration I have a really slow DSL connection thanks to miles of 80 year old copper wiring and an exchange right out of the middle-ages (possibly a slight exaggeration :)).
I've just learned that its also possible to upgrade the Beta version. Just download and install 8.006 and use the normal upgrade function.
Yes, take V8. the problem is, once V8 is released, you need a new setup to use newer updates then. So watch for when it goes release.
I presume it'll be best uninstall the previous versions before V8 as well ?
What algorithm is ENCRYPT and DECRYPT using? I'm mostly asking so I don't recreate it in my library (which has the usual standard crypto hashes and stream ciphers). :)
Also, where the heck is the info on the changes to types that everyone except me seems to have? Might make what I'm doing in my game easier. Maybe. I use a lot of types. =D
Blowfish, 128 bit
Cool. :) I'm a bit of a Bruce Schneier fan -- one of my favourite books in my (now drastically reduced due to the Internet and books not remaining current for long) computer book collection is 'Applied Cryptography' (it's out of date, but still an interesting read). Might want to mention that it's Blowfish in the documentation though.
Hi!
I have tried the lovely v8 beta version and all seems to work wells but NETWEBGET$.
I have discovered on this command when compiling Exodus, that don't seems to work properly on iPhone devices (ios4.0).
If I turn off wifi (not internet connection), it's seems to work well, but if my wifi is turn on, then game hangs on loading screen (on network command).
This is a resume of log:
Exodus[72] has active assertions beyond permitted time:
{(

Anyone got same error?
Anyway, v8 is really a great update!
King Regards, fjsantos.
My experience also with v8 NETWEBGET$ on os4 is it does visit the webpage (visit logged) but then freezes. :'(
Can you PM me the url / params you exaclty use?
Of course, I have just pm you! ^_^.
@matchy: Same for me, visit is logged and then hang up!
Thanks so much for your continuous support Gernot!
King Regards, fjsantos.
KittyHello, I've PM sent you my web page submit function code!
WEBGET$ is fixed then?
The final beta is out http://www.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe (http://www.glbasic.com/beta/glbasic_sdk.exe)
It supports Windows CE devices and the Pandora.
So this is a beta, not the full release? I mean if I download this and install it, I'm going to have to download and install the full release later?
If so I might wait for the full release then -- not like I can test any of the new devices anyways. :)
Testing GLBasic in XCode 4.
Here the Results.

A couple of things :
- When opening a new project, the editor doesn't check to see if the current program has been modified, and thus needs saving before loading the new project
- With INIPUT, using a value of "" doesn't get rid of the key
- Get "warning : note : TYPE TVector is not declared" when using Types that are in another file...
- When compiling for iPhone, I get :
/cygdrive/s/Compiler/platform/iPhone/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-libtool: file: gpc_temp1.o has no symbols
/cygdrive/s/Compiler/platform/iPhone/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-libtool: file: C:\Users\Nicholas\AppData\Local\Temp\glbasic\output.bin(gpc_temp1.o) has no symbols - it succeeded, so I presume thats just a warning message - The Setup:Pack & Go program doesn't load
it's still not possible to use the same function name in different types :(
Thus it makes no sense to use them imho
Its a shame, but not a great loss. I append the type name to the function to get around the problem.
in my opinion it's a great loss. I won't use them otherwise as it's less work to use "normal" functions then. But as Gernot told us, it will be a great challenge to change this. It's a task for the pre compiler I guess. I hope he will be able to change this in the final version :booze:
Gernot just a small thing, v8 doesn't seem to save changes to the syntax highlighting.
When I change background colour/keyword colour it changes for the file i have opened
but not any other files in my project but then when i restart it's gone back to the original
colours
using v 8.050
Thanks
okee
That's probably the same problem as in v7, close all open files except one, change colors, close GLBasic, open again and it should work. Also make sure you only are running one instance of GLBasic.
Yeah, thanks Moru, sorted.
One thing I can noticed is that you cant seem to call an extended type from within an extended type when the two are in seperate files :
File 1 :
TYPE B
b
g AS Tg
FUNCTION foo: a%
DEBUG self.g.Tg_moo()
ENDFUNCTION
ENDTYPE
File 2 :
TYPE Tg
FUNCTION Tg_moo%:
DEBUG "gg\n"
ENDFUNCTION
ENDTYPE
gives "error : call to undefined function : B__g.Tg_moo"
Did I really have the impression I could make this work!? Oh my...
I think the best approach is now to leave all that to the GCC and parse the GCC error and point to the GLBasic line where it occurs.
Yes, that's propably the best.
QuoteDid I really have the impression I could make this work!? Oh my...
Of course! You can get anything to work!
Gernot, who else, if not you :)
Just need to get rid of that inaccurate warning message now...
Couple of other things :
- The fmod_player example wont compile as it is as the INLINE c commands (specially if) are converted to uppercase - files with INLINE do have a tendancy to do this.
Hm. Not for me. Can you reproduce that?
Hey Gernot, what does this actually mean?
// Mac/iPhone:
// NETWEBGET hung for good.
Does that mean it works properly now or that you've removed it?
It's now working on the Mac on the LAN, but still not on the iPod Touch. :(
Oh noes! What can that be again... I'll have to investigate further. Still locking?
Freezes after web visit on iPhone. Can someone verify?!

But i think you know that problem :D
Gernot, I don't know the inner workings of your compile process (or ANY compile process!), but to allow TYPES to use the same function names, like Schranz0r is asking, could you get the compiler to automatically prefix all function names with the type name?
For his example you would rename internally his functions to: TTest_init() and TSubTest_init().
(Like people in the forums suggest you do on your own.)
Of course you would have to determine which actual function to call when you encounter it later on in the source code, by knowing what TYPE it is referring to.
@Slydog: I think that C++ do the same way, prefixing the functions with the name of the class of struct. This must be the way.
Gernot, this is an interface bug I think: when you select GP2X in the project options is saved as GP2X-Wiz. When you enter again in the options you see this. Works ok with other platforms.
Yes, it's on my TODO. It's a bug. Bad one.
Ah Ok, nice to know :happy:

Interesting :)
Any chance of having a SPACE$ (or PADSTRING command - create a string of a defined character, x many times) ? A intergrated decimal to hex (and vice versa).
SPRITE2MEM memory problem seems to be fixed, which is good!
Compound ?IFDEF statements not only execute the code within the ?IFDEF statement, but also any non-valid ones.
For example, :
?IFDEF WIN32
?WARNING "Windows"
?ELSE
?IFDEF OSXUNI
?WARNING "Mac"
?ELSE
?WARNING "Here too!"
?ENDIF
?ENDIF
Displays both Windows and Here too!
I notice that if you call a function in an extended type, unless you add self. to it, the compiler generates a
Quotecall to undefined function
error.
However, if you define a standard function (with the same name), the compiler somehow finds the function in the type and calls it (and you dont need to use self to do it). I presume thats a little buggette :)
And of course, called functions in a type dont turn blue.
This is the code I'm testing it with :
TYPE Ta
FUNCTION moo%:
go()
ENDFUNCTION
FUNCTION go%:
DEBUG "Type function\n"
ENDFUNCTION
ENDTYPE
LOCAL a AS Ta
a.moo()
END
FUNCTION go%:
DEBUG "Standard function\n"
ENDFUNCTIONI notice that the "warning : note : TYPE xxx is not declared" message is still displayed...
did anyone realize that with version 8.064 is't now possible to use the same function name in different types ?
Yeah!
have do update today :P
WOHOOO ;)
Its coming along very nicely...
Good enough to use on a commercial project yet?

Ian
Well, IMO better than V7 already.
Thanks Gernot, time to update I suppose!

There is a slight problem with SELECT and values return from functions in extended type - the only problem is I cant get a small example to do the same :(
For some reason this code :
CONSTANT GAMESTATE_ERROR% = -1
CONSTANT GAMESTATE_INITIALISELEVEL% = 1
CONSTANT GAMESTATE_LOADLEVEL% = 2
CONSTANT GAMESTATE_INITIALISEPLAYERS%= 3
CONSTANT GAMESTATE_INITIALISEGAME% = 4

CONSTANT GAMESTATE_PAUSELOOP% = 6
CONSTANT GAMESTATE_DOMOVEMENT% = 7
SELECT players[currentPlayer%].DisplayPointer(level,mouseBuffer)
CASE STATE_MENUSELECTED% // Selected ingame menu
gameState%=GAMESTATE_PAUSELOOP%
DEBUG "hdhd\n"
CASE STATE_DOMOVE% // Do movement
DEBUG "Do Move\n"
gameState%=GAMESTATE_DOMOVEMENT%
DEFAULT
DEBUG "Error should be : "+players[currentPlayer%].DisplayPointer(level,mouseBuffer)+"\n"
ENDSELECT
Always displays the Error should be message.
The code it calls is :

As soon as the value is put in a variable, all is okay...
currentplayer is always 0, and the players array is defined.
QuoteAs soon as the value is put in a variable, all is okay...
By that, are you saying that this works?:

SELECT state%

Thats right. :)
Whats annoying is that a small example doesn't exhibit the same behaviour which must mean a memory/stack error somewhere... :glare:
One other thing - you cant use calculations in an extended type array :
TYPE TTest
FUNCTION moo%:

LOCAL test[] AS TTest
DIM test[4]
LOCAL index%
index%=1
DEBUG test[index%-1].moo()

oh dear. Try an alias so far.
The link in the first post is to version 8.050, but the current beta is 8.064.
I understand that you just download the older version, and run an update from GLBasic and it will find and install the lastest beta.
Except, my computer at work might have a firewall setup (or other security) and GLBasic keeps saying I have the latest version.
Is there a manual / alternative way to install the 8.064 update? Is it available as a file?
Not a problem as I do my programming from home, would just like the new Extended Type features at work in case I need to do a quick edit to see / test something.
And, am I the only one who gets errors clicking any of the links in the 'Web' menu?
It comes up as this (in Firefox):
http://\\www.glbasic.com\main.php/?site=news&lang=en (http://\\www.glbasic.com\main.php/?site=news&lang=en)
The slashes are the wrong ones (plus 2 additional).
No problem, as I know where to go by hand, just wondering.
The links work here okay - what browser are you using ?
I use Firefox (3.6.3).
I'm in Canada, could it be a regional thing (it shouldn't because URLs are universal).
Or other setting? (ha, but what? Security?)
Do your URLs come out as: (slashes backwards, with preceding slashes too, without the 'http://')
\\www.glbasic.com\main.php (http://\\www.glbasic.com\main.php)
That may explain my update problem too perhaps, as maybe the update URL is causing a problem.
But I also use Firefox on both my home computers and update works fine.
But, I can't remember checking the 'Web' menu's other links, I'll try tonight when I get home. (I'm 6 hours behind Germany!)
[Edit]
In case it matters, I use XP at work, and Windows 7 at home.
Mine come out as :

With the latest beta... I'm using Chrome
Yep, the links work fine from home, but I'm using 8.064 (and 8.050 at work because I can't upgrade).
So does this mean v8 is out of beta now? Just saw this at the top of the forum: *NEW* Current Version: 8.078 release (get setup).
Where do we get it from? I realise I might be a bit early in asking this as from the looks of it Kitty hasn't had time to update the official website download yet. :)
If it's not out of beta, I'm guessing I just go to the usual beta download link.
did you already try the normal update function within the editor? This worked for the last beta updates.
You can't update from v7.XXX to the new v8.XXX via the usual "INTERNET UPDATE" method - GLBasic produces an error message and bugs out (on Windows 7 anyway). Looking at the site's log file, versi 8.050 was non-beta and it's been updated a couple of times since. The new download is available here - http://www.glbasic.com/main.php?lang=en&site=download It states that it's v7, but it is actually v8.
right, I took it that some version of 8.0xx Beta was already installed :)
Yes, but not for the latest version (assuming the version number is correct :) )
Editing my post about 6th or 7th time...
Kitty, I've been testing GLB_ON_PAUSE and GLB_ON_RESUME which you implemented per my bug report here (http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=4863.0).
First: unlike GLB_ON_QUIT, typing the sub name in lowercase isn't automatically being converted to upper case and recognised, but assuming you put them in upper case, they're being recognised.
Also, these subs don't get called when in debug mode. Is that by design for some reason?
Now, my main issue is, what am I supposed to PUT in GLB_ON_PAUSE?
Here's why I'm asking: With my test code on windows, I successfully put it into pause, but then the app would absolutely not come out of pause. So much so, that using task manager to shut it wouldn't. I managed to shut GLBasic Editor, but the app was still open! No amount of convincing task manager would close it, all it did was bring the app window back up, albeit the title still said <paused>. Worse still, it limited my mouse movement to some little corner of the screen. In the end, I had to reboot my pc!
Now, I *think* I may know why...
in my GLB_ON_PAUSE, after writing a timestamp to a log file, I did:
WHILE TRUE
HIBERNATE
WEND
Because I figured I had to *do* something while paused... but as we know, using SHOWSCREEN while the app is a background task on iPhone kills the app stone dead. But I forgot that if you write a while loop with no showscreen, it tends to kill the app (didn't know if you knew that? always happens to me). And that's why I think my app killed itself so badly - it was paused, but crashed, and could neither continue execution nor be made to exit. Mind you, it'd really help if it could be made that if I screw up the code that badly it didnt require a reboot to continue!
I'm about to try it without a while loop at all. I'll update here in a few minutes or longer if I have to reboot again! :p
EDIT 4: Ok. If you put a while loop in GLB_ON_RESUME *with* showscreen, the app hangs before it ever starts (I wanted to print 'press a key to continue...' or whatever)
So, my test code atm, JUST writing a log file with a time stamp when I pause, when I resume and when I quit is working fine, but it hangs quite nastily if GLB_ON_PAUSE or GLB_ON_RESUME has any kind of loop.
[EDIT 5: Ok, the mouse problem reoccurred when I tried to circumnavigate the problem with using a while loop in GLB_ON_RESUME by using a PRINT, SHOWSCREEN then MOUSEWAIT instead. It seems to create problems. The mouse cursor gets locked to a part of the screen, and at the same time, it exhibits the same crash problem. Basically, SHOWSCREEN in GLB_ON_RESUME is a definite no-no - it causes the app to crash before it even executes the first time, and apparently so is MOUSEWAIT. Also, GLB_ON_RESUME is being called the instant the app starts (and failing if I have a loop in there).]
I think I can work round that by setting flags and testing the code elsewhere, but (a) some clarification on what you can and cant do with GLB_ON_RESUME and GLB_ON_PAUSE would be nice, and (b) if you can, prevent nasty hang protection if I do something I shouldn't in code!
Does GLB_ON_PAUSE only fire once and halt at the end of code execution within it? therefore I don't need any kind of loop? And after GLB_ON_RESUME, the app would continue from where it left off? If so, in practice, I don't need ANY code, if I just want to pause and resume from where I was? Right?
If that's not how they work, please explain! Thanks.
Even if that is how they work, I think there's a few problems with them atm.
[EDIT... whatever... I've lost count... :
Oh hang on... because of how it's explained in the user manual, I assumed that GLB_ON_RESUME and GLB_ON_PAUSE were only called *IF* AUTOPAUSE TRUE was set... but that's not the case. They're being called ANYWAY. So it may be the combination of AUTOPAUSE and having SHOWSCREEN/MOUSEWAIT that's screwing things up. But I digress... I'll await some responses from Kitty!]
-----
Here's some lame but useful test code, especially since you cannot debug these new SUBs. It includes 3 commented out ways to kill your app (and possibly your pc...), and also conclusively proves that GLB_ON_RESUME is being called BEFORE the app starts the first time through. Do feel free to try with and without AUTOPAUSE TRUE set, too!

By the looks of it, PAUSE is called once when the window loses focus (and not just minimised) whilst RESUME is called twice when the window has focus again. No idea why its twice :blink:
Would be nice if those two subroutines were available in debug mode.
As far as I can tell, it looks like the program will stay in a suspension loop once the pause routine has finished. It might be best to treat these like ON_QUIT and not do any graphics or such like once called.
Here's a little test program for you :
GLOBAL a%,b%,c%
AUTOPAUSE TRUE
a%=0
b%=0
c%=0
WHILE TRUE
PRINT "MAIN LOOP:"+a%+" ON_PAUSE:"+b%+" ON_RESUME:"+c%,0,0
SHOWSCREEN
HIBERNATE
INC a%
WEND
SUB GLB_ON_PAUSE:
INC b%
ENDSUB
SUB GLB_ON_RESUME:
INC c%
ENDSUB
You will notice that the ON_RESUME variable increases twice after a window has been restored. However, if you compile for full screen then the ON_RESUME variable only increases once.

I would agree this makes sense for GLB_ON_PAUSE, but I would have thought the point of GLB_ON_RESUME was that the program has resumed execution now, and therefore it would be entirely reasonable to display a 'click to resume' screen or something. I mean, ok, I can set a 'hasResumed' flag in GLB_ON_RESUME and jump to a pause screen from elsewhere in the code, but still, it seems that really, GLB_ON_RESUME actually HASNT resumed when it fires, or surely a SHOWSCREEN wouldnt have such dire consequences for your app?
The reason for doing the code example I did is because it's most close to what I actually want to do. That is: on an iPhone, I want to support PAUSE and RESUME from multi-tasking. Which, by the looks of it, for a straight PAUSE/RESUME, I literally wouldn't need to execute any code, other than save the game state.
Why even do that? Well, what if they put it into pause (ie, multi-tasking bar) and then never resume the app, but kill it instead? I can't save if they never resume. So I want to save on pause, and IF there's a savestate file, reload ONLY when the app is restarted afresh, NOT on RESUME. Although since GLB_ON_RESUME is called when the app is started fresh, I explicitly have to code round that.
That's not to mention that iPhone seems to treat ANY exit as a pause, rather than a quit, if the device is multi-tasking capable.
I think I still *could* do right now, assuming it works on iPhone. Just got to be extremely careful about how I code it to not do any of the things that will crash the app!

right, I took it that some version of 8.0xx Beta was already installed :)
Yup which it is. However running the updater on mine (currently version 8.064) it says it's up-to-date. What Ian has posted was the information I was after ie. that even though the download webpage says 7 it is in fact 8. Download limits + slow broadband speed = I like to make sure before I grab 130Mb or so. :)
PS Congratulations Gernot on such an awesome amount of work you've done on the upgrade from version 7 to 8. :good: :booze:

Quite a few operating systems like to cause trouble when a windows focus is lost (DirectX being one of them). For Apple machines, like ON_QUIT, you've probably only got a few microseconds to do anything before your program is forced to be minimised.
Setting a flag for the main program to deal with is probably the best way of maintaining compatibility (and ease) across all platforms.
Would be good to get it up and running for Mac and Linux too!
Hi,
I download the version 7.341, how to compile for iPAD ?????
In version 7.341 the Polyvector don't show, in old version work fine ...
Download the new SDK. It's V8. There's an forum thread about iPad - just search.
The GLB_ON_PAUSE is just a "trigger" function to tell you that it's going to pause now. DO NOT LOOP HERE!
You can reset a time here, or put a global gPaused% flag.
The GLB_ON_RESUME tells you that the app is about to restart. Both command happen within a SHOWSCREEN if that matters. They can be called twice, yes. Just set global flags and maybe allocat
Does that mean your normal code keeps running after a GLB_ON_PAUSE is triggered?
(and therefore need to implement GameState logic, like GS_RUNNING = 1, GS_PAUSED = 2, etc to be called in your main loop)
Or does all your code stop until a GLB_ON_RESUME is encountered?
The main code carries on execution
Yes. Otherwise I had no idea about when it's resuming and stuff. Windows programs always run, they just idle sometimes.
Ok. I'm a bit confused. So GLB_ON_PAUSE executes its code, then returns to your main code? But, certainly to be consistent cross platform, you should definitely not do a SHOWSCREEN anywhere (an iPhone app is killed off if it attempts to draw to screen when it doesnt have focus) ... so I'll have to implement a completely seperate 'lostfocus' routine in addition to my 'normal' pause routine, because that of course shows the 'paused-click to continue' type stuff and SHOWSCREENs.
But the thing is, in my experience, if you have ANY kind of loop WITHOUT a showscreen, that can kill your app too.... so my original question remains... what do I *do* while paused, even if I'm going to do it outside those subs, even if I want to do nothing but wait for the app to resume so I can display stuff again?
For example. Here's some really simple test code as a basic framework to include losing and regaining focus... except it crashes (app becomes non-responsive under Windows)... it never resumes from pause (and of course I can't step through it to debug!). So what should I be doing instead?
Just to clarify my point about a loop crashing if no showscreen... IF you add SHOWSCREEN to the lostFocusLoop in this code, it no longer crashes under Windows... except that's no good to me at all on an iPhone, because that WILL crash it!
GLOBAL a%
GLOBAL b%
GLOBAL hasLostFocus%
mainLoop:
WHILE TRUE
IF hasLostFocus = FALSE
INC a%
PRINT a%,0,0
PRINT b%,0,20
SHOWSCREEN
ELSEIF hasLostFocus = TRUE
GOTO lostFocusLoop
ENDIF
WEND
lostFocusLoop:
WHILE hasLostFocus = TRUE
INC b%
WEND
GOTO mainLoop
SUB GLB_ON_RESUME:
hasLostFocus% = FALSE
ENDSUB
SUB GLB_ON_PAUSE:
hasLostFocus% = TRUE
ENDSUB
Ok, here's the background:
Windows programs work like:
while true
GetMessage()
HandleMessage()
wend
Now, that does not fit into the procedural approach GLBasic has. So for your convenience I do:
while true
run, run, run
showscreen
wend
where "showscreen" internally does:
flip_backbuffer()
while(PeekMessage) {GetMessage(); HandleMessage()}
The "HandleMessage", however is where the "lost focus" hapens. There I kick-call the GLB_ON_PAUSE SUB to notify you. The game will not return from the showscreen command until it's unpaused again. (assuming AUTOPAUSE TRUE).
Did that clear things?

Not really, to be honest. I may just be being thick.
Given the example I posted above, how can I make a version of that basic framework that will work on my windows machine for development that will also work on an iphone? Ie, if I'm paused, 'do nothing', when I'm resumed... resume.
Or are you saying that for the purpose of development, I now need to have evaluations and code based on platform, then strip all the windows specific stuff out for final iphone deployment?
I guess all I'm really asking for is a working cross platform example of how to use these subs. Because everything I've tried so far just crashes.
Like this?
GLOBAL gPause=FALSE
game:
if gPause
DisplayPauseMessage();
showscreen
keywait
else
UpdateGame()
DrawGame()
showscreen
endif
GOTO game
SUB GLB_ON_PAUSE:
gPause=TRUE
MUSICVOLUME 0
ENDSUB
SUB GLB_ON_RESUME:
MUSICVOLUME 1
ENDSUB
Well, yes, except that doesnt work on a multi-tasking iPhone. Just tried it. It doesn't display the contents of my DisplayPauseMessage(), or wait for the keywait/mousewait, and the program executes from the beginning again (I just increment a variable and printed it, so it's pretty obvious to see if it continues from where it left off on resume or whether it restarts the whole app).
Which is pretty much what the symptoms were before GLB_ON_RESUME and GLB_ON_PAUSE were implemented.
Oh, and still gives the same 'Background GPU access not permitted' error if connected to xcode debugger.
EDIT: oh wait. that's because on the iPhone you HAVE to have AUTOPAUSE TRUE set for it to work, whereas on the PC, it works exactly the same without AUTOPAUSE set as it does with
EDIT2: Oh. No, still doesn't work. I'm not even going to try and describe the symptoms because it's different every time I run it. But most of the time, the app still crashes out completely per my original bug report
Do you have an 3GS or iPhone4? The others don't support multitasking.
We're testing on a 3rd gen iPod Touch 32gb but also have access to an iPhone 3GS. If it didn't support multi-tasking, we couldnt be testing putting apps to the multi-task bar and resuming them!

You can't update from v7.XXX to the new v8.XXX via the usual "INTERNET UPDATE" method - GLBasic produces an error message and bugs out (on Windows 7 anyway). Looking at the site's log file, versi 8.050 was non-beta and it's been updated a couple of times since. The new download is available here - http://www.glbasic.com/main.php?lang=en&site=download It states that it's v7, but it is actually v8.
Yeah I get the same problem in XP. It says something about the updater program terminating in an unusual way and seems to be tied to the mscrvt8.dll (I think).
I'm just going to back up the glbasic game source files, uninstall the old ver and install v8
That's the way to go. You can't live-update Version X to version Y. There's new compilers and stuff included.
Dont forget to update the text on http://www.glbasic.com/main.php?lang=en&site=download - it still mentions V7 :)
um? Update your cache?
Yes, its correct now :)
Ermm, can somebody, who tested, clearly state that whether iOS4 multitasking is working in V8 with AUTOPAUSE feature? My IPod Touch is 1st gen and IPad doesn't have iOS4 yet so can't test it myself.
Depending on it I want to upgrade my games to support this feature!
Thanks...
