Previous wiki software returned html entities instead of actual characters, but the new host has an updated version of mediawiki that does the contrary for some special characters.
- Allows using _DROPPEDFILE as an array ranging from 1 TO _TOTALDROPPEDFILES.
- Using _DROPPEDFILE as an array doesn't reset _TOTALDROPPEDFILES (unlike when reading _DROPPEDFILE$ sequentially with no parameter), so it's necessary to call _FINISHDROP after working with the list of dropped files so it'll be reset.
New statement:
_ACCEPTFILEDROP [{ON|OFF}]
Enables a program to accept files being dropped from a folder.
New functions:
_TOTALDROPPEDFILES
Returns the number of files that have been received via drag/drop.
_DROPPEDFILE$
Returns the list of files that have been dropped. The function sequentially returns the file list and decreases _TOTALDROPPEDFILES with every read.
The statement works as INSTR does but starts from the end of the passed string (or from the specified position) and looks for the passed substring while moving backards.
Takes after VBScript's InStrRev: https://www.w3schools.com/asp/func_instrrev.asp
Closes #51
Existing syntax:
colour~& = _RGB32(red, green, blue)
New possible uses:
- Instead of passing identical rgb values to achieve a shade of gray, pass only 1 parameter for all color components:
colour~& = _RGB32(51) 'same as _RGB32(51, 51, 51)
- _RGB32 can now take an optional alpha parameter, which makes _RGBA32 obsolete (although it still exists for retrocompatibility):
colour~& = _RGB32(255, 0, 255, 30) 'same as _RGBA32(255, 0, 255, 30)
- If you want a shade of gray and also to specify the alpha level, you can pass just two parameters:
colour~& = _RGB32(51, 30) 'same as _RGBA32(51, 51, 51, 30)
In summary:
- 1 parameter = red, green and blue simultaneously set.
- 2 parameters = red, green and blue simultaneously set plus alpha level.
- 3 parameters = red, green and blue as usual.
- 4 parameters = red, green and blue plus alpha level (same as _RGBA32).
Syntax:
_ALLOWFULLSCREEN [{_STRETCH|_SQUAREPIXELS|_OFF|_ALL}][,{_SMOOTH|_OFF|_ALL}]
Existing _FULLSCREEN statement is not bound by _ALLOWFULLSCREEN's settings, only the ALT+ENTER key combo.
_ECHO is more of a macro than a new statement, as it'll perform the following actions:
1- Save current _DEST;
2- Switch to _CONSOLE;
3- Print the passed string (only strings accepted);
4- Switch back to previous _DEST.
None of the PRINT features such as USING, numeric variables, retaining the cursor are implemented/planned for this statement.
Closes #29
Running a compiled program in standard "attached" mode had no real use as it had been planned (as once stated by Galleon) to allow future integration of a debug mode that never came to be. It is not practical as is. This change makes F5 (and consequently the Start option in the Run menu) start the program automatically in "detached" mode (equivalent to Ctrl+F5 in previous versions), which means that the resulting binary will be run with SHELL _DONTWAIT instead of simply SHELL, allowing the newly launched process to be independent from the IDE.
