better syntax: LABEL(parameter,parameter etc
??? is that new?
I think it came with 1.0.1 or so with these many updates.
Is it faster?
No, it's just another syntax form to do exact the same thing. But it saves one or two bytes in your source.
I use a lot of the old syntax. Maybe 20 times, so it would save 40 bytes. Not much, but I'd rather optimize as much as I can.
If you like my work: why not give me an internet?

Yeah, and it also makes your code esier to read I think. You cannot confuse the parameters and the subroutine name. The C++ syntax is the same so I got used to that.

I mainly do that for prettiness cause I think LABEL(param param etc) looks awesome. Optimizing your source code is not really that useful.
EDIT: REPHRASE: optimizing the source code itself, making the source code itself smaller when it doesn't change the executable's size, isn't really useful. So stuff like comments and the label syntax change thing, when it doesn't affect the executable, isn't really useful.

but optimizing source code means less scrolling when you have to edit something and you can type more stuffs:D

haha yeah, but it usually means less code readability. Depends on what you care about, I guess.

Personally what I do is split the source in multiple sub programs. That makes it easier to find what code you want and in some cases can reduce the need for comments.

Yeah, when I was writing larger programs, it was quite annoying that you have to scroll through the whole code. The next time I made multiple sub programs, but due to the fact that axe only backs the main progam up, I lost them all in a crash caused by a little error in my sub program.  >:(
Now I'm archiving them before compiling... which is quite annoying too - maybe Quigibo will add that it in future.

So I've been working on my Mario Shotgun game which, if you remember, is where this whole topic started. And I have most of the movement down, but I'm having trouble with the actually bullet coming out of the gun. My sprite looks like Mario with a shotgun, but I need to make it so that when you press the 2nd key, it looks like a bullet of some sorts is coming out, and then when the bullet hits various objects to the right of Mario, I need those objects to explode. Does any one know and easy way to do that?

Code: [Select]
if (d=94)
x->d
0->g
end
if (g=1)
d-1->d
end
if getkey(54)
1->g
Pt_On(d,y)
dispgraph
End
if pxltest d+1,y
pt-off #the pixels around it you want to destroy
end
this might work

Is the Mario game still gonna be some sort of Platformer or will it be more like a shoot-em-up but with Mario moving around the screen? Some sort of Mega Man or Metroid style Mario game would be cool.

I haven't decided, A shoot em up style would be the easiest, that I could finish in maybe less then a day, and the platformer would take longer, but would look cooler. both are cool....maybe ill start with the shoot em up, and then edit it into the platformer. kinda like a win win.

Ah ok. Well I would start with the shooter first. Before doing the platformer you should practice with 1-room based map engines and collision detection, before venturing into smooth scrolling.
