Variables using Type declaration

 

I found a strange behaviour when using type variable (array of type). Let's explain...

 

I increment a type variable element by some value:

 

monster[0].x := monster[0].x + 2;

 

This code runs ok.

 

But using a procedure, which consists of incrementing such variable, doesn't work correctly.

The example works when commenting (remarking) the call to MoveMonster at the end of listing example.

 

This is modified example from Mad Pascal repository:


uses crt;

type
	monsters = packed record
   	  x: byte ;
	  a: cardinal;
	  y: byte;
	end;

var
	monster: array [0..3] of ^monsters;
	i: byte;

procedure MoveMonster(p : byte);
begin
  monster[p].x := monster[p].x + 2;
end;

begin
  for i:=0 to High(monster) do begin
    GetMem(monster[i], sizeof(monsters));

    monster[i].x := i;
    monster[i].a := $ffffffff;
    monster[i].y := i * 2;
  end;

  for i:=0 to High(monster) do
    writeln(monster[i].x,',', monster[i].y);

  // Let's move first monster
  writeln('');
  writeln('Let''s move first monster');
//  monster[0].x := 2;
  monster[0].x := monster[0].x + 2;
  writeln(monster[0].x,',', monster[0].y);

  MoveMonster(0);
  writeln(monster[0].x,',', monster[0].y);

  repeat until keypressed;
end.

Github, master branch

 

new feature, variable as REGISTER (utilized zero page, 16 bytes)

 

var

 a: byte register;
 b: word register;

 

be careful, the compiler also uses these areas (Fillchar, Fillbyte, Move)

Wow, this is the first time I see the new github style documentation. That is really awesome and good to read! The support for the players and modules as resource is also great.

I tried to click the "edit on github" button to report a minor fix: "null side" instead of "zero page". But the link results in "404 - https://github.com/tebe6502/Mad-Pascal/edit/master/docs/map.md".
Might of course be due to not being part of the repo...

Hi,

i'd like to create an array of records, like this:

Quote

type
    tNPC =  record ai,x,y,z: array [0..2] of byte;
                           t: array [0..3] of byte;
                           person: byte;
                           dialog: byte
    end;
     

var 
    npc: array [0..7] of tNPC;

 

which MP says it does not support:

Quote

Mad Pascal Compiler version 1.6.6 [2021/09/19] for 6502
Compiling City.pas
City.pas (33,25) Error: Only Array [0..2] of ^RECORD supported

maybe i'm missing something basic in pascal; but i couldn't figure out yet how to create an alternative datastructure that would be as easy to access and manipulate like with the example above ? ( like:  write(npc[0].x[1]); )

 

--> sorry: yes, i missed something basic: question solved by reading this very thread:

 

-->  npc: array [0..2] of ^tNPC;
 

just that nested arrays of records don't seem to be accessible?

 

write(npc[0].person);  -> ok

write(npc[0].x[0]);      -> Error: Can't read or write variables of this type

hmm, just tried the example for for/in/do with your latest github master branch mp.exe.  is the code not in yet?

program for_in_do;
 var
    days : array [0..6] of string =
    ('poniedzialek', 'wtorek', 'sroda' ,'czwartek', 'piatek', 'sobota', 'niedziela');
    a: string;

begin
	for a in days do 
		writeln(a);
end.
