Re: gtBASIC

The emulator does allow you to test with a simulated controller, if you press CTRL+H you will see the AWSD SPACE Z . / keys map to the controller, these are fully handled in the same way as a real controller. This means that you can detect any combination of them using code similar to what Axel post...

Re: gtBASIC

There is a bunch of them, including transcendental's. The compiler generates static data using these functions at compile time. There are two reasons to use these static initialisation functions: 1) They generate no code on the Gigatron, so they are generally very cheap, (in terms of CPU cycles). 2)...

Re: Playing gtmidi Files

Sorry typo, there's different ways of referencing MIDI files, one is through MIDI ID's, (the one we are using in this example), so the play command should look like this:

Code: Select all

play MIDIDV, 0
P.S. I'll add better error output for this in the next release.

Re: Playing gtmidi Files

Because the sound is playing in the background, yeah you need to do something else, i.e. loop and draw some graphics, get some input, or just a busy loop, etc.

Re: Playing gtmidi Files

It's pretty simple to convert .midi files to .gtmidi and even easier to play them back in gtBASIC. 1) Make sure you have gtMIDI and miditones built and available at a command line/terminal. 2) Type gitmidi at the command line and it will tell you exactly what to do. 3) For the Gigatron the maximum c...

Re: ROM adventures (dev7rom)

Ok, whatever, you don't want to let it go, here's some facts: 1) You were mad that ROMvX0 was taking too long. 2) Either you or Hans leaked it, (probably multiple times), when it was a private repo for about a year. 3) You wanted to control ROMvX0 by having me "give" you all my code so you...

Re: ROM adventures (dev7rom)

And for the record after you showed me this new stuff, (which is great btw), you said you would not create a competing ROM, but within weeks you had. The reason "I saw competition" is because you created it and then started flaunting it, remember this comment "well what are you going...

Re: ROM adventures (dev7rom)

I got very excited and decided to share it immediately with Hans61 and at67 because I see that it offers a lot of potential for constructing native support for rich graphics capabilities, something of great interest to at67. I believe he saw competition rather than contribution. Come on dude, I've ...

Re: gtBASIC

As mentioned here, https://forum.gigatron.io/viewtopic.php?t=409, ROMvX0 pre-release versions can be, (and in this case are), incompatible with each other with respect to .gt1 files. This is because the instruction set and/or instruction ordering is subject to change, the way around this is to alway...
