DeltaList(0->GDB1

For(Y,0,7)
For(X,0,7)
1->{Y*8+X+GDB1}
End
End
It looks like you define a single byte of data for GDB1 when you use the Data(0) command, but then you write to 64 bytes of data when you are in the For() loop.  This is likely corrupting several parts of your program, including the Text you are wanting to display.

You can use the Zeros(#) command, which creates # empty bytes of data.  Also, "F"->{Address} doesn't work, as "F" returns the *address* of a string, not the string itself.  What you probably want is 'F'->{Address}, as 'F' returns the byte that represents the referenced character.

It looks like you have the same issue initializing the Str1 variable?  Maybe it would help if I knew what it is you are trying to do?  And ah, I see the name of the command has been changed from Zeros() to Buff(), check it out in the commands list.

Everything in Axe is just raw data. You could draw a list of numbers as a sprite, you could read a string as a list of numbers, you could print sprite data as a string. None of those would have any meaningful output, but I'm just trying to get the idea across that, to Axe, data is just data.

One implication of this is that the Buff(#) command, which is probably det(#) in an environment like TokenIDE without the custom Axe tokens, can be used to allocate data for any purpose. For GDB1, it looks like you want it to hold 64 bytes of data. So you would initialize it like this:

det(64)→GDB1

To initialize a string that holds 16 characters, however, you need to allocate an extra 17th byte. This is because strings need a terminating null character to mark the end of the string. This is why you saw the behavior of printing Str1 resulting in both the 16 numbers and "HELLO!" because Str1 didn't have a terminating null character, so the print method printed the next string in memory as well. Defining a string like "STRING" automatically adds the terminating null character, which is why the printing stops after "HELLO!". Anyways, to initialize a string that holds 16 characters, you would do this:

det(17)→Str1


Hopefully this will help with the issues you've been experiencing!

Thanks, knowing that really helps, and nice explanation too! I would give both of you positive post ratings, but either I don't know how or it won't let me because I have too few posts.
