Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

VAR SAVE/RESTORE working perfectly  

In b11, booting to a prompt, the SD-busy LED would remain ON until I addressed the SD. Now it is off in b12  

Loving the CMM2  

Thanks again  

Edit: Correction, I had somehow pushed the LED away from the window. It still remains ON until I do something like "FILES"

Not a problem, just FYI.

  Quote  The red LED will also illuminate when a USB
keyboard is plugged in and successfully communicates with MMBasic – it then reverts to normal activity on
the first read/write to the SD card.

Moved from separate thread (my bad)  



Is it supposed to work with SPRITE SHOW?



MODE 11,16,0,frameint

'left setup code out for clarity

fi%=0
do:loop while fi%=0
SPRITE SHOW 1,50,50,0


Sub frameint
fi%=1
End sub




I get screen flicker for both SHOW and HIDE.

Update: No flicker in MODE 9,16

In the editor:

SPRITE NEXT is fully colour coded  

SPRITE HIDE/SHOW: HIDE/SHOW remain white

You have been spoiled by MMEdit!
The CMM2 editor knows the keywords/commands.
SPRITE NEXT is white because NEXT is a keyword in its own right.
If SHOW and HIDE are added they would be white where ever they appear.
I will have to see how many others fall into same category and think about it.

Short answer I don't know never played with it.
Can you post some working code in the original thread.
Maybe you need PAGE COPY?

The PAGE COPY command is very highly optimised to run as fast as possible. It also has an optional parameter which
is documented in the user manual.
I: means do the copy immediately. It is the default and most efficient but risks causing screen artefacts;
B: means wait until the next frame blanking and then do the copy. It is the least efficient but is absolutely
determinate in its effect and no screen artefacts will ever be seen; and
D: means carry on processing the next command and do the copy in the background when the next frame
blanking occurs. This is efficient but must be used with care as subsequent drawing commands may or may
not be included in the copy depending on the timing of the next screen blanking.

Hi Gerry, PAGE COPY was always my plan but I'm currently on G1 and don't have that option for mode 11. The flicker won't be a problem for me, the report was just an FYI.

Man, I'm loving the SPRITE stuff. I always associated sprites with games and so I skipped over but heck no. These work for pop-up menus, buttons, etc. Fantastic stuff

I was wondering. What was happening with the CMM2 version?
