Hi clovepower ! :) Just double checking if the area from 1024 to 2047 is free to be used as video memory on the Dragon target. As far as I can tell, the compiled program should use memory from address &H2800 (10240 decimal). So that range should not be touched by the program. I suspect that, for...

Hi clovepower ! Indeed I asked because I knew it must have been easy, like everything in the IDE . :D I will post it as an issue in GitHub, which I think is easier for you to track. Yep, it's been tracked and fixed. But at the moment only for TRS-80 Color Computer 1/2/3 (as a hotfix). For the rest o...

Hi clovepower ! I do am amazed to see you already implemented this . :mrgreen: Only one thing...how do I access beta?. It is easy! :D Click on Build , then on Options . In the dialog click on Use BETA compiler . Then click on SAVE . From this moment on, the buttons to download the beta will be activ...

Hi clovepower ! the type of a single-operand expression (like a+b) is the "widest" between the operand types and operands are converted to the wider type, if necessary, before performing the calculation I'm happy to let you know that I just implemented this mechanism on the beta . If you t...

Hi clovepower ! ahhhhhh, OK, my bad then, It's not like it was exactly a "mistake". In my opinion that is a question of interpretation. Some BASICs, if I remember correctly, allow you to define multiple variables with the same type. But, again in my opinion, it's not a very "BASIC&quo...

Hi clovepower , and thank you for the message! :D 1. If a variable is explicitly declared to be of a given type, it is created to be of that type, regardless how it is initialized. You are definitely right! This is not only right, but it is precisely the behavior of ugBASIC . In the example you kind...

Hi clovepower ! Is there a way to either implement the double buffer on this platform or at least to specify the size for the screen memory / start address of ugBASIC program? To specify the screen size and starting address you can use the direct access approach, with the caveat that this modificati...

Hi clovepower ! Is there a way to either implement the double buffer on this platform or at least to specify the size for the screen memory / start address of ugBASIC program? I'm happy to let you know that the pragma for defining the starting address of an ugBASIC program has been implemented in to...

Hi clovepower ! Unfortunately, I think the fix introduced another issue For that matter I fear he has introduced more than one. But I think that, in the end, this is a good thing: because it allowed me to see that there was one basic thing that wasn't right. :) In order to better explain the complex...

Hi clovepower ! Is this a bug or intended behavior? This is a bug without any doubt. And I also know how it was introduced. Before I tell you that I have already fixed it and you can download the compilers' COLDFIX, I would like to explain how it was born. Let me start by saying that being the only ...
