Peripheral Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Came across a minor bug. The check to prevent keypad #0 from being used if the word was already chosen: IF try_number = 0 AND #backtab(CUR_BTAB_POS) <> HYPHEN AND \ word_chosen = 0 THEN ran afoul of a quirk in IntyBASIC's macro processing and operator precedence. After expanding CUR_BTAB_POS, the generated code performed the first AND operation as if written (try_number = 0) AND HYPHEN ... The result was that subsequent pressing of keypad #0 could replace the chosen word with empty characters, leading to an unplayable game. I've notified @nanochess The work around, and general take away, is to be very excessive with use of parentheses in complex conditionals, e.g.: IF (try_number = 0) AND ((#backtab(CUR_BTAB_POS)) <> HYPHEN) AND \ (word_chosen = 0) THEN The fix, v5.1, is attached. I also took the opportunity to add some comments around the packed words, for example changing PACK_WORD("A", "B", "A", "T", "E") to PACK_WORD("A", "B", "A", "T", "E") ' "ABATE" for easier grepping of words (used only for curiosity sake, and never, ever, to help play the game!) Ideally we could write PACK_WORD("ABATE"), but then we would need a substring or charAt feature in order to access the individual letters. Perhaps IntyBASIC already supports that and I'm unaware? Finally, I encountered one of my more interesting games when testing this out, in the attached gif. Perhaps we need to rate this game "M for Mature". intlev5.1.rom intlev5.1.bas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
