Marcio D. Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Vision BASIC v1.1 for the Commodore 64 has just been released: https://visionbasic.net/vision-basic-1-1-has-arrived/ What's new: - Support for GeoRAM as an alternative to REU, for the expanded RAM required to run Vision BASIC. - Support for battery-backed GeoRAM variants (e.g. NeoRAM) to store a copy of C64 RAM, enabling instant access to Vision BASIC and loaded programs at all times. - New commands in the add-on pack for accessing GeoRAM memory in your own programs. - Custom NeoRAM cartridge available for purchase as part of a Vision BASIC package. - Improved default Vision BASIC editor colors. - Compile speed doubled when compiling on a C64. - Compile speed quadrupled when compiling on a C128 in C64 mode. - New commands: GSAVE, CATCH, ALLMOBS, DEF, POLL, LABEL. - Existing commands improved: LISTER, BLANK, NORMAL, VIDLOC, PANX, PANY, PADDLE, VERSION, RND, RANDOM, BYTES. - New format for user-defined commands to improve assembly language programming. - Asterisk (*) now allowed for declaration of assembly program starting address. - System clock no longer resets during program compilation. - Filename length now restricted to 12 characters during program compilation to disk, allowing proper appending of file extension. - SHIFT - RUN/STOP key combination no longer causes potential data loss. - Overflow of variable information in designated RAM space is now detected. - RUN/STOP - RESTORE delay implemented to avoid accidental exit out of Vision BASIC editor. - Improved startup experience for PAL users unable to use the on-disk fast loader program. - Variable names can now be of unlimited length, provided everything fits on a single program line. - Vision BASIC manual now includes a command index. - BUTTON command now supports the programming of 2-button and 3-button game controllers - e.g. joysticks, gamepads.

+evg2000 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 How does the DL of an update work? when I log in, it says I have 3 DL left. If there are 4 revisions in the future will the count reset, or at some point will I not be able to get an update? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Okay, so I DL the update and it went from 3 to 1. That was odd. Only one DL happened on my machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one DL happened on my machine Sounds like a glitch in the download system. Please bring this to the developer Dennis Osborn's attention by writing a brief message in the private forum that's accessible once you log in. Dennis is super helpful and quick to answer questions. You'll definitely need more than 1 remaining download if you want to grab upcoming fixes over the next few weeks - e.g. v1.11, v1.12, etc. ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
