 |
|
EDIT: Here's the updated lib, release in a proper manner with a .a and everything. Sorry it was such a crap release before guys.
Download the library here (6.6kb):
http://fileanchor.com/26612-d
Commands:
SNO_LARGE - Prints a number to screen without e- or e+
SNO_FLOAT - Prints a decimal number to screen without e- or e+ (has a decimal point)
EXENAME - Give the name of the EXE (Added because FB only has EXEPATH)
IS_EVEN(expr) - Is the expression even?
IS_ODD(Expr) - Is the expression odd?
Wheel_PSET - Draws a wheel using PSET
Wheel_Line - Draws a wheel using Line
Wheel_Image - Draws a wheel using an image in PSET mode
Wheel_Alpha - Draws a wheel using an image in Alpha mode

Are you serious? Let me see what's going on. I just switched to my Apache server so I might be doing something wrong...
EDIT: It *should* be fixed...I was beginning to wonder why the only logs were from me. |

@Both:
Hurray! Lol. I hope someone besides me can find a use for it. I know I could use it for intro-scenes or little movies on a game.
Animations for attacks are just one of a few things I plan to use this for ^_^;;
Maybe I'll make a Sonic the Hedgehog thing where he's a theif lol. You hit him all of everyone's jewelery comes out ^_~ |

Updated:
Redid most of the lib. It's only 6.41 kb now (Although on your disk, that will take up 8kb ^_~)
Added EXENAME - Like EXEPATH, but this prints only the exename + extenion.
Changed SNO_PRINT:
SNO_LARGE prints very large numbers without an e+, no decimal point
SNO_FLOAT print a number with a decimal point, and then the digits after it, without the e- |

^_^;; Working on the others? They're not too hard to figure out.
EXENAME is done like so:
Print (dir(Command$(0)))
SNO_LARGE is done like so:
#define SNO_LARGE(expression) Print Format(expression, "################")
SNO_FLOAT is done like so:
#Define SNO_FLOAT(Expression) Print Format(expression, "#.################") |

thank you for your hint ;))
Do you play with logarithms to get the digits for SNO_.. ?
[Edit]
You see, I mean without including vbcompat.bi..

No. Format is a command that comes with VBcompat.bi, which comes with FB:
| Code:
|
|
#Include "vbcompat.bi"
Dim test_num As Double
test_num = 1/44
Print format(test_num, "#.###############")
Sleep

hihi, I do know the Format[$]-Command, I translated the description to german..
Concerning ExeName: Don't you think that | Code:
|
|
Mid(Command$(0), Len(Curdir$)+2) |
is a bit faster than ?

I just did some tests, and niether proves *much* faster than the other on my computer.
The tests vary too much. Sometimes MID is faster, and sometimes my method's faster. I've never used MID myself, so I don't know the mechanics and why it may or may not be faster in some cases.
1001 uses of each, profile results:

@ytwinky - I'm not picking on you here. I am being picky.. And I cannot address the Linux side of this.
There are problems with both methods in Windoze (?elsewhere?). Try this code compiled and executed from the exe dir, then try it from another console from another dir:
| Code:
|
|
Option Explicit
Print "Command0: ";command(0)
Print "CurDir: ";curdir
Print
print "Method1: ";Mid(Command$(0), Len(Curdir$)+2)
Print "Method2: ";Dir(Command$(0))
Dim p As Integer
p=Len(Command(0)):While Mid(Command(0),p,1)<>"\":p-=1:Wend
Print "Method3: ";mid(Command(0),p+1,255)
Sleep
|
Method1 fails when invoked from another dir. Both fail when ".exe" is not part of the call (dirty little trick in Windoze - if the filename extension is known then it need not be specified, and there is no way to otherwise chmod a file as executable).
Output from other dir:
| Quote: |
C:\>e:\freebfiles\onkey\exename-01.exe
Command0: e:\freebfiles\onkey\exename-01.exe
CurDir: C:\
Method1: reebfiles\onkey\exename-01.exe
Method2: exename-01.exe
Method3: exename-01.exe
C:\>e:\freebfiles\onkey\exename-01
Command0: e:\freebfiles\onkey\exename-01
CurDir: C:\
Method1: reebfiles\onkey\exename-01
Method2:
Method3: exename-01
|
Method3 fails, sorta, you still have to check for that missing ".exe" on Windoze. I'd rather use regexp but am having diff with the Windoze version (my fault, surely). Method3 can't work on (shudder) Linux without slash-mod.
Method1 and Method2 work when the exe is invoked using "Start Run" or from Explorer, which is what normal users.. use. I don't mean to pick. |
