Dan	The Array Shuffle and Sort commands only work with Single-Dim arrays. I should really make them work with Multi-Dims, too, but .. good lord, the maths involved!!! Maths ? I would do it with 2~3 loops. (edit: At least for the 2d arrays.) If you look at the shuffling function, look what it is really doing: if you look at the 1d array, it is shuffling (switching position) in the vertical direction. 2d array adds a horizontal cells/columns to the 1d array. For it, all you need to do is to first randomize the columns, for each row, first. Then randomize the rows. I guess that would do it, unless some other shuffling method is preferred ?! Alternatively, you could add a 3rd pass, which shuffles the columns first, then rows. And do not torture the cgollumns: View on YouTube too much p.s. i've misspelled the columns as collumns almost every time it was written in this post ...

Jayenkai	Honestly, I just couldn't be arsed doing it at the time.. Some day.. It's on my todo list.. Imagine you have a 4 dim array with 2 cells in each.. Array(2,2,2,2) .. A,B,C,D And the sort swaps the two A's It's not just that, is it.. You have to sort all the other values, too. 1,1,1,1 has to swap with 2,1,1,1 Up to 1,2,2,2 swapping with 2,2,2,2 Now imagine Array(256,256,256,256)... I looked at that and my head went.. .... "fuck it, I'll do it another day.." It's not "technically" maths, but I couldn't be bothered explaining it, and just put it down to maths. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Dan	Yeah i know. I have found out that, if i want to understand something, and it is hard, then i should start with making it easy first. Simplifying things ... For e.g. I would start with 1d arrays, then when i know how to shuffle them, i would go to the 2d array. Then i would think a bit on how would the code work for that. A 2d array is a grid. That is easy to understand and imagine. 3d arrays can be imagined as many 2d grids in a notebook. If you think of it as (x,y,z) then each z would hold one 2d grid. 4d arrays, then, would be many notebooks in a drawer .... ok this is a bit too high for my imagination as well ... well anyway, the question would be, how much shuffling should be done to each type of array. I know that you do not need to do everything at once. But it can be helpful to imagine it today (or some day when you feel energized), and someday the solution may simply 'click'.

Dan	And something did click, here, yesterday evening about 1am. I have asked myself (now) how would i implement the array shuffling in that TinyBBasic (see somewhere in the forums). The shuffling of the 1d array is easy. Just switch positions and it is done. The shuffling of the 2d/3d/4d arrays is more complex. Theoretically you can do the random switching of the values, just like the 1d array. If you have the arrays which are holding numbers (i do not know why would someone need a 3d/4d array full with numbers) then you can simply switch places for certain amount of times. i wrote (jff) a simple array shuffler (1d/2d) in blitzbasic: Dim a(10) ;random 1d shuffle Print "1D shuffling:" Print For x=0 To 9 a(x)=x Next For x=0 To 9 c=Rnd(9) Repeat d=Rnd(9) Until d<>c b=a(c) a(c)=a(d) a(d)=b Next For x=0 To 9 Print a(x) Next WaitKey() Delay 50 Print Print "2D shuffling" Print Dim twod(10,10) Dim copy2d(1,1) z=0 ;assign For x=0 To 9 For y=0 To 9 z=z+1 twod(x,y)=z Next Next ;shuffle For x=0 To 9 For y=0 To 9 c=Rnd(9) d=Rnd(9) Repeat e=Rnd(9) f=Rnd(9) Until c<>e And d<>f copy2d(1,1)=twod(d,f) twod(d,f)=twod(c,e) twod(c,e)=copy2d(1,1) Next Next For x=0 To 9 Print For y=0 To 9 Write twod(x,y)+", " Next Next WaitKey() Delay 500 --v For 3d array i would use 6 variables, and for 4d: 8. of course, the more dimensions, the longer would the code/script need to shuffle them. therefore, for the 2d+ arrays, i would use a number of iterations instead of "for x,y,z" The shuffling for the places is easy. But ... 2d+ arrays can be used, for example address keeping. The array would hold data as Twod(index, description) which would look like Index, Description > V "John", "Smith", "Suggar Lane 10", "Worchester" "Pal", "Patine", "DeathStar 1", "Starwars universe" To shuffle this kind of array would produce a funny output, but is it meaningful ? For this kind of array, it would be practicable to switch the index places. ... anyway ... I would suggest that you implement simple shuffling methods for 1d and 2d arrays, and the user, if he needs higher dimensional shuffling, should do it by himself. Well, at least, i would do that.

Jayenkai	I was actually considering some kind of reference list for the first dimension, so that you could quickly sort that, then it points to the true element in the array. Whatever method I ultimately end up going for, it's going to have to be super-quick. Array stuff is already painfully slow in places. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Dan	Ah, i see: another array which holds the numbers for the shuffles.

Jayenkai	Over on Twitter, @Retro70sChild posted pictures from one of those 80's Usborne computer books, and within the 3 pages pictured, was one page containing the entire code for a mini BASIC Skiing game.

The Inkey$ has been switched with GamePad controls, the "wait for a key" loop has been replaced with a WaitGamePad, and there's been delays added to slow it down from an insane speed. Another fairly substantial change is in the actual Print command for the gameplay. The original book relied upon the Tab() command to move the text cursor around the screen, but JSE currently doesn't have one of those. Instead, I've plonked the character onto a second line of text. It does the job.. But.. Yeah, it works a treat! Super Retro Coding FTW!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I couldn't think of a good way to separate them without them breaking, so instead opted to just have everything happen together. In the future I might "fix" that, but I imagine in most of the cases when you're scanning for "Key Down" then it really shouldn't matter.. Right!?! Hmm.. .. Which is even odder when the symbols ARE sent as separate buttons, so a ; key is different to a : key, and so on. Either way, it's probably not a good idea to trust/rely on the results of KeyDown. With all the browser/system/keyboard layouts and more, and without an exact button layout, you really shouldn't ever assume that this command will give the correct outputs. That said. It does kinda work, so.. there's that. You can use the above proggy to find numerical values, or you can use ASC("symbol goes here") to .. hopefully.. get the right key. .. Maybe.. .. .... Sometimes. Gawd, I wish Javascript was more specific about this stuff. For Blitz2D/3D compatibility, the Keydown(200) returns the up cursor, 203 the left, 205 for right and 208 for down. .. But then KeyDown(57) isn't space any more.. 32 is space, and 57 is the number 9. RAWR!!!! I tried my best. It's as good as you're getting! Stop complaining!!! Also, if Dan could give this a go, and let me know if it's doing "Chr = Letter on his keyboard" or "Chr = Letter on a QWERTY keyboard", that'd be great. Maybe hold A and see what shows up!! I think* it should be "right", but I did do a lot of stuff to make WASD always function, and I think that might've caused this part to mess up. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

The Symbol editor now has an import button on the top right, which can load spritesheets of 32x32 pixel sprites. It'll convert them to the default symbol palette, and save them as those handy Symbol-Code lines. Magenta 255,0,255 will become transparent, and if your image already has Alpha in it, anything below half-transparency becomes fully transparent and anything above, solid. Try not to go crazy with this feature, those Symbols get smegging huge when you use this! And as always, the more imaginative you are, the better. I don't want to see a bazillion bland dull and uninteresting sprite-rip games!! Be creative. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Pakz	Have you taken a look at the competition? Those fantasy consoles have gotten really good. Lots of features inside those. Bigger ones like Gamemaker and Godot might also have some things that might be interesting to add to yours. I like it that yours can simply be posted inside this forum and be run with the press of a button.

Jayenkai	This whole endeavour was pretty much spawned when you posted a Godot Example, back in February. In order to get it to run on the "simple online version" there was a whole bunch of struggling with files, downloading things, naming them correctly, putting them back into a zip, uploading the zip to their server.. It just didn't work for "a quick example" That's pretty much why this whole thing was created, and I've done my best to keep everything "Forum postable" as a result. Other than that one experience, I haven't actually looked into anything newer, and I'm trying not to give myself too much "work".. Everything, so far, has been "the thrill of figuring things out", and I think that's what's kept me interested in the project. Heck, when was the last time I worked on something for .. MONTHS!?!?! I'm currently still having fun adding oldskool stuff. Right now, I'm trying to decide the best way to do Paper, Pen and Ink commands. C64, BBC, Speccy and CPC all seem to do those commands in subtly different ways, so I need to pick and choose the best methods and figure out how best to implement them, so that .. for the most part.. code can be copy+pasted from old 80's examples and mostly work. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
