Graphic bug I can't understand!

GLOBAL b = 3 WORKS, Ocean ! You can do that....


NEVER call functions with GLOBAL:

GLOBAL b = foo() //<----- BAM, doesen't work!

it would be nice if GLB supports that nowadays...   I have stopped using that idiom altogether - it's a trap I fell in once too often...

It has been working now for a while again so I started using it.

don't do that in GLB (assigning a value when initialising/defining variables) as this is only guaranteed to work when used in conjunction with the RGB() function...

Constants should be used for things like that...

You can assign GLOBAL a = foo(), but you are not able to use strings or any of the GLBasic commands inside. The problem is, that this foo() is called in the constructor _before_ the GLBasic engine is set up, whereas
GLOBAL g
g=foo() // this assignement is done during runtime.

I tried that, but the program didn't actually run

Code: [Select]

GLOBAL a%=foo()

DEBUG a%
END

FUNCTION foo%:
RETURN 12
ENDFUNCTION

Regarding the scope of Global Local
From tests this is what i gathered:

2 files in a project
main.gbas //the main code file
include.gbas //included file

Global  declared in main.gbas is available to main.gbas and include.gbas
Global declared in include.gbas must have an assignment otherwise the compiler throws variable is not explicitly defined error
once declared with an assignment it's available to main.gbas and include.gbas

Local declared outside a function/sub in main.gbas is only available to functions/subs in main.gbas
Local outside a function/sub in include.gbas  is not allowed

Also using GENSPRITE() as described in the manual

Code: [Select]

GLOBAL gImgFoo = GENSPRITE(); LOADSPRITE "foo.png", gImgFooused to cause problems when declaring and assigning has this changed ?
or do we still have to do

Code: [Select]

GLOBAL gImgFoo
gImgFoo = GENSPRITE()

okee

RGB is the only command that be used with variable initialisation.

[matchy]

Oh yeah! Even this works...

Code: [Select]

CONSTANT rnd_color=RGB(RND(255),RND(255),RND(255))
CONSTANT rnd_red=RND(255)
