Import/Includes and globals?

[EdzUpParticipant]

It seems MonkeyX2 v1.0.5 doesnt like imported classes is there a way of doing the whole thing.

 

Main.monkey2 looks like

Monkey

Namespace myapp #Import "<std>" #Import "<mojo>" #import "Ultim" Using std.. Using mojo.. Class MyWindow Extends Window Method New() Ultim.Initialise() end Method OnRender( canvas:Canvas ) Override canvas.DrawText( "Hello World",Width/2,Height/2,.5,.5 ) End End Function Main() New AppInstance New MyWindow App.Run() End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

Namespace myapp   #Import "<std>" #Import "<mojo>" #import "Ultim"   Using std.. Using mojo..   Class MyWindow Extends Window Method New() Ultim.Initialise() end   Method OnRender( canvas:Canvas ) Override canvas.DrawText( "Hello World",Width/2,Height/2,.5,.5 ) End End   Function Main()   New AppInstance New MyWindow App.Run() End

 

And the ultim class import looks like this

Monkey

' ' Ultim.monkey2 - Copyright (C)EdzUp ' Programmed by Ed 'EdzUp' Upton ' Class UltimClass Method Initialise:Int( ) Return( 0 ) end End Global Ultim:UltimClass = New UltimClass

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

' ' Ultim.monkey2 - Copyright (C)EdzUp ' Programmed by Ed 'EdzUp' Upton '   Class UltimClass Method Initialise:Int( ) Return( 0 ) end End   Global Ultim:UltimClass = New UltimClass

What im trying to do is include the file in the main source like I could with all the other systems and call Ultim.whatever to call the relevant functions from the Ultim class so if I add a Audio class to the Ultim class that links to another AudioClass class with Audio:AudioClass … then I would use Ultim.Audio.x. This way I can build a framework to use in monkey2 and actually use some of its power.

I think a tut on including classes from other files would be a brilliant idea as this beasty is a lot different than any other BRL language to date.

Define a namespace at the top of ultim.monkey2 e.g:

Namespace ultim

In your main.monkey2 your import should be:

#Import "ultim.monkey2"

and then you need to put the following at the top:

Using ultim..

Alternatively, just delete the Namespace defined in main.monkey2 and fix the import statement, as above.

Ah thanks impixi will have a look at that

Here’s a little zip with a working example of multiple imports.
Runs fine with 1.0.7 but should be ok with earlier versions.

main:

Monkey

edit:added a global class declared outside of main so use import-1.monkey2

Here your code corrected and running..

Monkey

[crayon-5cba87ff43309974536406 inline="true" ]Namespace myapp #Import "<std>" #Import "<mojo>" #import "Ultim" Using std.. Using mojo.. Using Ultim..

the Ultim.monkey2

Monkey

[crayon-5cba87ff4330f938295834 inline="true" ]Namespace Ultim Class UltimClass Method Init:String( ) Return "Ultim" end End Global UltimC:= New UltimClass

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

[crayon-5cba87ff4330f938295834 inline="true" ]Namespace Ultim   Class UltimClass Method Init:String( ) Return "Ultim" end End Global UltimC:= New UltimClass

[/crayon]

Note that I renamed things called Ultim to Ultimsomething because you can’t have the same for a variable and a namespace/filename.

[EdzUpParticipant]

abakobo: thanks for that im still in newb land with MX2 so it will takke a while for mw to get upto speed but I will persevere with it

EDIT: I now have the namespace set to UltimEngine and instead of UltimC its Ultim which looks a bit more cleaner but thanks once again for the help, im new to all these namespaces didnt use them in C++ either as there it was std:: etc :).

I feel ya.. The last time I really used C/C++ was with Borland in the 90’s. For the last IDK 12-15 years I’ve just been using BRL products. But, once you get a hold of a few basic concepts Monkey 2 comes into focus pretty quickly.
