Problem with def and NOT

[+Random Terrain]

I started switching over to def in my latest program so it would be easier to read, but it doesn't work because of NOT. Here's an example that works:

 

  a{0} = !a{1}


loop

  drawscreen

  goto loop

 

 

Replace that with def and it won't work:

 

  def Test_00 = a{0}
  def Test_01 = a{1}
  def Test_02 = a{2}
  def Test_03 = a{3}
  def Test_04 = a{4}
  def Test_05 = a{5}
  def Test_06 = a{6}
  def Test_07 = a{7}


  Test_00 = !Test_01


loop

  drawscreen

  goto loop

 

 

I even switched to the latest version of bB posted here:

It didn't help. Did I discover a bug?

 

 

Thanks.

I didn't mention anything but I think I encountered that with my "4 Way Scrolling Platform Engine" example. Sadly, I just worked around it and forgot about it 'till now

I'd think it *should* work, so I'd say it's a bug. Here's a possible workaround:

 

  def Test_01 = a{1}
  def !Test_01 = !a{1}

I can't test it right now, but I think it might work.

The problem seems to be with spacing.

 

This doesn't work:

 

  def Test_00 = a{0}
  def Test_01 = a{1}
  def Test_02 = a{2}
  def Test_03 = a{3}
  def Test_04 = a{4}
  def Test_05 = a{5}
  def Test_06 = a{6}
  def Test_07 = a{7}


  Test_00 = !Test_01


loop

  drawscreen

  goto loop

But this does:

  def Test_00=a{0}
  def Test_01=a{1}
  def Test_02=a{2}
  def Test_03=a{3}
  def Test_04=a{4}
  def Test_05=a{5}
  def Test_06=a{6}
  def Test_07=a{7}


  Test_00 = !Test_01


loop

  drawscreen

  goto loop

bB is supposed to ignore extra spaces, but somehow they are not being ignored in defs.

At least there's an immediate solution. Thanks! I'll update the bB page.

It didn't work until the spaces were removed, but when the spaces are removed, it isn't needed anyway. Thanks.

Oddly enough, when I was making my first post I was wondering if the spaces around the "=" would confuse bB, because I seemed to recall a similar issue with "const", although I thought that was fixed for "const", so I went ahead and put spaces around the "=".
