That looks neat

Merry Late Christmas!

2nd post...
For any 3D game you need to know the distance between two objects, there is this function I made:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


FUNCTION Distance3D: x1,y1,z1, x2,y2,z2
RETURN SQR( POW(x2-x1,2) + POW(y2-y1,2) + POW(z2-z1,2) )
ENDFUNCTION


Enjoy!

My first post! Woo! 

When I call GETCOMMANDLINE$() the commands are separated by either quotes (if they contain spaces) or just by spaces. Here is a function that will separate each one into elements of an array.

Check it out. 

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


FUNCTION CmdLine: cmd$,e$[]

LOCAL a%,b%,exit%,pos%,endpos%

cmd$=REPLACE$(cmd$,CHR$(92),"/")

DIM e$[0]

WHILE 1

IF pos>LEN(cmd$)-1 THEN BREAK

SELECT ASC(MID$(cmd$,pos,1))

CASE 34 // if the value is an open quote

b=INSTR(cmd$,CHR$(34),pos+1)
IF b<pos+1
endpos=-1
exit=1
ELSE
endpos=b-1-(pos)
ENDIF

DIMPUSH e$[],MID$(cmd$,pos+1,endpos)
pos=b+1


CASE 32 // if it's a space
INC pos,1


DEFAULT // if it's any other character

b=INSTR(cmd$,CHR$(32),pos)
IF b<pos+1
endpos=-1
exit=1
ELSE
endpos=b-1-(pos-1)
ENDIF

DIMPUSH e$[],MID$(cmd$,pos,endpos)
pos=b


ENDSELECT

IF exit THEN BREAK
WEND

ENDFUNCTION
