Wee Basic 0.6 Released

Summary

Good news for me and myselves. The new version of Wee Basic has arrived.

Where exactly are we on this road map to hell? Wee basic now has:

- backgrounds
- sprites
- sounds
- microphone
- key presses (keyboard and most hardware keys)
- stylus touches (touch recognition and coordinates)
- motion
- primitive graphics
- basic printing and coordinate printing
- both screens can be used
- core basic commands
- usable editor with save/load, using text files

(But don’t pee in your pants yet my lovelies).

Version 0.6

Fixed:

- editor has been completely revamped thanks to Alan’s txtwriter source code. See http://ds.spacemonkeymafia.com.
I modified some of txtwriter’s basic editing code for the Wee Basic editor.
- bug in boolexpressions (for if/while) using strings

added/changed:

- added motion commands (untested)
motion (keyword initializes motion – throws an error if no motion card detected)
motx, moty (motion coordinates)
example:

motion
let x=motx
let y=moty
print 1 “Motionx: “+x
print 1 “Motiony: “+y
end

- playmp3 now has optional settings
Syntax is playmp3 <filename> <volume>,<pan>,<bitrate> (each is an integer or number variable)
You can still use playmp3 without options if you want to keep it simple

As usual, download wee06.ppt and change extension to zip – enjoy. Usual rider – use at own risk.
