Thread: New thinBasic_Oxygen Module

  1. #1

    New thinBasic_Oxygen Module

    This new version is itself written in OxygenBasic and interfaces the latest generic Oxygen.dll.

    It can be downloaded from here:

    https://github.com/Charles-Pegge/OxygenBasic

    thinBasic_Oxygen.zip contains:

    Oxygen.dll
    thinBasic_Oxygen.dll
    thinBasicOxygen module source code
    Examples (a few)
    OxygenBasic Manual
    Oxylog.txt



    Copy both DLLs into \thinbasic\lib\

    great. Just played around with VarArrayPointers-sample and to make sure it's really "Bananas" I asked back like this:
    If p Then MsgBox 0, Memory_Get(p, Peek(DWord, p - SizeOf(DWord)))
    
    now- just to make sure SizeOf in oxygen only works on variables or also on types?
    I think there are missing some Forum-sections as beta-testing and support

    Yes, both types and variables.

    Some attribute cases:

    string s[3]={"apple","banana","melon"}
    
    
    print len s[2]      '6
    print len s[1]      '5
    print sizeof s      '4
    print spanof s      '3
    print typeof s      '"string"
    print sizeof string '4
    
    
    type udt
    double d
    string s
    byte   b[2]
    end type
    
    
    udt u
    print sizeof udt '14
    print sizeof u   '14

    And that is how OxygenBasic works!

    fun example. only thing - and that's probably the same in tB - client-content vanishes when moving the window. but I'm used to place my windows in advance where I want them anyway.

    I did not find out yet how to start some plain oxygen-script - seems to be impossible from scintilla - so I'll probably stay one of those who uses oxygen through thinBasic. Assembler I don't get anyway - when I was a teenager (8-bit-times) there were only those things as CMP, LDA, STA, LDX, JMP, JSR etc. but that's a long time ago - so I'm probably no machine-coder but some basic head only. I'm still waiting for Petr to test the above mentioned Example-script from new oxygen - since it uses the same thinCore-functions. Maybe there's an advantage in system-independence through oxygen so I will develop most of these functions using oxgen then

    What would be an equate to Poke/Memory_Set in oxygen ?

    Assembler can be freely mixed with OxygenBasic statements, global/static memory, technically speaking occupies the uninitialised data section, and locals/parameters occupy the stack. All basic variables and equates can be accessed by Assembler, within the standard scoping rules.


    byte b[4096]
    addr ecx,b 'pseudo instruction to load variable address
    mov byte [ecx+7],42
    indexbase 0
    print b[7]

    Assembly code is not usually needed , and limits portability, so I would advise staying with Basic, unless you want to do some.

    Isn't the same!

    no- isn't. the last examples run fine even when moving the window - so my windows are not broken- just dirty - since they are maintained by ms daily.

    Charles,

    thanks for keeping thinBasic_Oxygen always up to date.
    I will publish very soon (hope next week) a new thinBasic update.

    Thanks Eros,

    The old Oxygen examples need to be dumped, since many of them are out of date.
