Just
received the sourcecode for Yabasic on the Playstation! Get it
as a 84kb zipfile by clicking here.
(you may have to use the 'save as' function). This will perhaps only be exciting news for some of you (those
who read .c code), but those others will expect an even better
overview of and insight in what and what isn't supported by the
PS2 version to make it to these pages shortly, when I've delved
through the code myself. |

Updated
the reference section with the "library" system
parameter. You can't do much with it yet, but we try to be
complete, yes? Thanks to John Wordsworth for pointing it out. |

A
big apology everyone - haven't been able to put in much work on
the site, because I'm very busy buying a house and that's taking
up most of my time and energy. But to keep you busy I've posted
a bit of code that I
programmed earlier, which demonstrates some nice graphical
effects - nothing too extreme, but not too bad neither. Expect a
decent Q&A here soon, as I'm daily receiving some Q's, and
the A's may be of general interest. Also, I'll make sure that
the different sections will get their own menus. Expect all that
somewhere this week (say thursday or friday). |

Well,
my legs are freezing (I can't sufficiently heat this place at
the moment, when it's below 0 Celcius) and I'll probably regret
it tomorrow when I have to get up early, but I promised you this
Tekken thing and so I wrote the first part and posted it for
you. Hope you enjoy it. Hey, don't complain about the being a
little late thing - looking back it's not so bad for a
first week, now is it? ;-) |

I
went through the reference once more and added the last few
remaining commands (static, local, beep, wait, etc) and
descriptions (for read, data, restore, etc) that where missing,
and corrected a mistake (numvars -> numparams). |

Yes,
I broke my promise - no Tekken Trainer example yet. Instead, I
added
part 5 of the Beginner's Guide, "Statements and Control of
Flow Commands". This last BG installment will bring the
newbies up to speed with the principles required for the case
studies which will follow, of which programming the controller
to create a kind of "Tekken Trainer" will be the
first. The first part of that case study will come real soon - I
hope even somewhere today (that means Sunday, in case you're
wondering). First, it's rather definitely bed-time. |

Added
part 4, "Expressions, Statements, and Boolean Logic".
Also added a warning about right$ in part 3 - I realised
(fortunately before someone actually told me) that some of you
might try out the code and come up with an error, because right$
is also a function in Yabasic and you may therefore not use
it as a string variable of your own. |

Added
part 3, "Assignments and Expressions", to the
beginner's guide. Whenever I add a part to the beginner's guide,
I'll also add the title of the next part to the contents so that
you have something to look forward to. I still have more parts
prepared than you've seen so far, so don't worry - plenty more
is coming.
I hope to have the first examples
posted by Saturday, so you have something to look forward to
this weekend. The first example will demonstrate how to use the
controller, and is tentatively called "Virtual Tekken
Trainer" ... should keep you warm and on your toes, that
one. ;-) |

Noticed
that somewhere along the line I'd decided to change the order in
which I added these new updates (from "latest last" to
"latest first",), so changed that in the rest of the
updates to latest first too, the more so since the dates are
ordered the same way. |
| 01:07 |
Added
part 2, "Types of Instructions", to the beginner's
guide. |
| 01:00 |
Added
bookmarks to the reference and put links to the bookmarks in the
contents. Then had to change them to make them Netscape
friendly. ;-) |

Added
part 1 of the beginner's guide, "Introduction to Programming",
and expanded the Contents with the first
entries for the beginner's guide. |
| 23:56 |
Added
date$ and time$ to the reference. |
| 20:15 |
Added
"screenwidth" and "screenheight" system
variables to the reference. |

Submitted
the pages to Altavista and Yahoo and added a counter. Probably a
link to this site will appear on www.yabasic.de
soon too. Let's see how quickly and how many of you desparate
souls out there will find me. ;-)
Well, bed-time already. |
| 01:35 |
Updated
reference with string manipulation and variable declaration
sections. Reference is now well-nigh complete |

Birth
of this site. Site starts off with what you see right now, and a
nearly complete reference to the Yabasic language on the PS 2.
You'll also find a few basic tips about keyboards and
such. |
