Need starter help with intyBasic

That's strange. It should say "Compiling..." when it invokes IntyBASIC, then "Assembling..." when it invokes the assembler.

 

It seems to be failing before calling any of those. I don't recall right now off the top of my head what else the INTYBUILD tool does, but I wonder if it is failing at calling an actual shell command.

 

I'll take a look when I get home tonight.

 

Don't worry, we'll get this sorted out. :)

All I get is "the system cannot execute the specified program"

that seems to be the problem right there.

 

Hmmm. Can you take a look at the "IntyBASIC SDKbin" folder and see if IntyBASIC.EXE is there.

 

It's strange because the PATH variable seems correct, which should allow the shell to find the program.

I know this is cheating a bit, but I wanted to create the old style Mattel title screen. I used Paint.Net to make it. I figure as a newbie it may take me a while to learn the ins and outs of the code to make it the right way.

 

 

That's definitely not cheating! In fact, the upcoming version of the SDK will include the ability to generate a default title "classic" screen when you invoke INTYNEW to create a new project.

 

If you'd like, I could send you a copy of the "title.bas" source as an example, so you can see how it is generated in IntyBASIC. :)

That would be fantastic. I would love to see how its generated.

 

Alright, see attached.

 

title-classic.bas

 

Notice that there are four "placeholder variables" in that file that you will need to replace with the proper values. In the new SDK, these are injected automatically by the INTYNEW tool when creating the new project.

 

These placeholder variables are:

  • %%TITLE_LENGTH%%
  • %%AUTHOR_LENGTH%%
  • %%TITLE_NAME%%
  • %%AUTHOR_NAME%%

Just look for them in the source code and replace them with your own values. (The "LENGTH" variables are the actual lengths of their corresponding strings. This is because the previous version of IntyBASIC did not support the "LEN" function.)

 

The output looks like this:

Let me know if you have any questions.
