Question about Intro.bas (Random Function)

[Descolado]

Hi folks

 

Sorry my english

 

I'm trying create a game using the INTYBASIC (I don't have much free time). I'm having trouble with speed sprites (slow down one sprite without slow down others).

I'm trying run the INTRO.BAS in INTYBASIC 1.2.4, but there are 9 errors. Looking in INTRO.LST, I found errors in lines with RANDOM function (nine lines with this function). Can I change the RANDOM function to RAND function?

Builds fine with my copy. Are your prologue and epilogue assembly language files correct?

The Random function was added in version 1.1

 

V1.1 Jul/14/2015 o New RANDOM() function

 

My guess is that your compiler files are, as GroovyBee states, not at least version 1.1 or you have a mixture of old files and new

 

The most current version 1.2.4 is here:

It also appears you aren't using the SDK, it might be a better starting point.

I downloaded the INTY SDK, I updated to Intybasic 1.2.4:

 

 

 

where I am going wrong?

First, if you are using the SDK, start the command prompt with the icon called:

IntyBASIC SDK Command Console

 

Then I would type IntyNew IntroTest

or something to create a new Projects folder. Copy your Intro.bas into that folder.

 

IntyNew should have put you into the IntroTest folder.

If not then CD to it

 

Then type

IntyBuild Intro.bas

then type

IntyRun Intro

You'll probably get errors

 

I suspect you didn't update the Prologue and Epilogue ASM files.

 

In the IntyBASIC\lib folder

there are key files used by the compiler:

intybasic_epilogue.asm

intybasic_prologue.asm

and this file is used by Intro.bas

constants.bas

 

Copy the same files from the 1.2.4 IntyBasic1.2.4.zip and overwrite the ones in the lib folder.

 

Also, take any .exe from the 1.2.4 version and copy to the IntyBASIC\bin folder

 

Also update the manual.txt in the Documents folder

 

 

 

Now IntyBuild should work and the RANDOM error should go away.

If not make sure you are in the IntyBASIC SDK folder at the command prompt and type

 

dir /s >dirlist.txt

 

open the file in notepad and search and replace the personal info you whited out with something generic and post it

The latest version of the file intybasic_epilogue.asm should have the following lines as the last few lines of its revision history (located near the top of the file) :-

        ; Revision: Nov/21/2014. Added Intellivoice support routines made
        ;                        by Joseph Zbiciak.

The latest version of intybasic_prologue.asm should have the following lines as the last few lines of its revision history (again, located near the top of the file) :-

    ; Revision: Aug/06/2015. Turns off ECS sound. Seed random generator using
    ;                        trash in 16-bit RAM. Solved bugs and optimized
    ;                        macro for constant multiplication.

If your files don't match then you'll need to update them.
