ugBASIC forum

Hi cguardia , and welcome! :) The problem is that the result is not displayed correctly. Sometimes I get something that looks like a zebra pattern, and other times the tiles seem to be drawn incorrectly or with the wrong data. Color processing on the Commodore 64 must conform to the limitations of t...

Hi lucat77 , and welcome! :D is there any mechanism in ugBASIC — a flag, a pragma, or a target configuration — to suppress deployment of unused subsystems (video, audio chip init, etc.) for a target? Something like a minimal/bare-metal mode for targets where the program manages all hardware directly...

Hi mjassocies , and welcome! How do you do fine scrolling on a text-only screen? On the Commodore 64 (with or without REU) and the Commodore 128, you can use the shift register on the VIC-II, as well as perform coarser software scrolling, and use double buffering to avoid flickering. To achieve this...

[Italian and French follow] :arrow: ENGLISH An interesting competition is held at the beginning of each year: the BASIC 10Liner Contest . Run by Gunnar Kanold since 2011, you can submit game or programs written for any BASIC for 8-bit home computer for which an emulator is available. Some of the en...

Hi pioj ! Is there any example to print bitmap font characters or custom-defined ones provided by a new charset? Yes, of course, there are some basic examples here and here for this type of task. I recommend updating your compiler first, as a related issue with COLDFIX was fixed just this afternoon,...

Hi pioj , here I am again! :D Also, a few examples make use of PNG images but you should clarify when they need to be 2,4,or 16 color for them to work in the guide. Image processing is hardware-dependent. The ugBASIC language provides no abstractions for image processing, ensuring maximum performanc...

Hi pioj , and welcome on the forum! :D Hi guys! I'm joining this topic because I've found discrepancies in the COLOR constants (iex. COLOR WHITE), as they don't seem to match for every platform supported. Check the image, may be related to the thread... First of all, thank you so much for the exampl...

Thank you, I updated the code in the IDE so this is the latest First of all, thank you for the example, which allowed me to highlight a bug in the multicolor image conversion routine. So, first of all, I ask you to update the compiler on your online IDE (I don't know if you're using the binary vers...

Hi retrogamecoders , and welcome to the forum! :D I'm new to UG and recently added it as a compiler option to my online IDE, but I am failing at adding tutorial examples for users First of all, I'm flattered that you've added ugBASIC to your IDE, and I hope I can help you with the tutorial! Assuming...

Hi Apidya ! :D 55 KB is available? That is nice and would be nice to have commands like MemoryAvailable as then you make somethings on screen and it would you tell you how many Memory kb you got left. If you are using the UGBASIC-IDE, you can obtain already this information by selecting the "ad...
