"Inline" BASIC Extensions

Post by GCHarder »

Various BASIC extensions, like scroll down, converted to "Inline" formats.

See the enclosed Readme for more info.

Enjoy;

Greg

Updated the program, 08/30/23. Modified the Quick Print routine slightly.

This is an interresting piece of Software.
I had a quick run in EO and it's impressive.

I need to figure out how to use only one or two routines.
Maybe something for tomorrow.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

Excellent Greg as always. :D

I have some of these routines but as separate units scattered amongst other programs so to speak and to see them presented in this form is a nice touch and like Paul I will have some fun with this, many thanks.

If you can think of any other, not too complicated, routines let me know. I'm thinking a one line text scroll might be useful, for instructions etc.

I'll add a smaller demo to the main program later on.

Hi Greg
nice demos :)

Maybe the subroutine's interface to the machine code can be done more easily using LPRINT ;
if printable characters need to be passed to m/c.

Instead of poking the characters into the machine code:

Code: Select all

21 POKE L+1, CODE C$(1)
22 POKE L+3, CODE C$(2)
using
21 LPRINT C$(1 to 2);
is easier.

Then the machine code can fetch PRINTABLE(!) characters from printer buffer (address 16444....) and the length of the basic code does not need to be calculated to call the machine code (line 20).

A single number X can be passed to m/c using RAND X and fetch the number X from address 16434 by m/c.

Could be a waste of Printer paper :?:
