Re: Dynamic program loading in SuperBASIC

That is indeed a very interesting finding - I had not realised that lines without line numbers are executed as soon as the loading process reaches that line. The discussion on the Spanish forums is well worth a read and the uploaded video shows it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppv3Ued5...

Re: Dynamic program loading in SuperBASIC

I suppose it depends on not adding too many "progress" lines in between lines of SuperBASIC so as not to have too much effect on loading times. Correct. It is "useful" for programs with many lines, where the loading time is long, or, for example, when reading _bas files from a m...

Re: Dynamic program loading in SuperBASIC

Interesting what you say. What I explain in the link is something else, and is only used for loading programs in SuperBASIC. It is easy to calculate the charging progress. If a program has 100 lines, and we want to show the progress of the load every 10%, it is enough to put a PRINT instruction ever...

Dynamic program loading in SuperBASIC

Can you imagine that your SuperBASIC program could show a progress bar while it is loading with LOAD or LRUN, or show the user how long it took to load this program using only SuperBASIC, without needing any extension? These are some of the things that we can achieve with the method that I explain h...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

Badaman - can you set SQLux in 512x25 pixels resolution and post a screen copy? Maybe it's just an artefact introduced by the scaling routine on SQLux.
The problem persists at that resolution. The parameters used in the emulator are:

WIN_SIZE = 1x
FIXASPECT = 0
FILTER = 0

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

I have been testing QStar, Andrew's new game, in sQLux and I have noticed that, when rendering the plots, it shows some errors. This error, which can be seen in the image, is not reproduced in other emulators, such as QPC2. What could it mean?

Re: Game Launcher

This is my first QL basic program in nearly 35+ years (and first basic program on any system for about 8 years) so please be gentle! Congratulations! I leave this address in case it can be of help to you. The program needs polishing, but does not require extension. https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.p...
