Very cool, is there any command to parse numbers from binary? How about creating a binary array?

Some updates, I need to find a way to make “LerpSpeed” function work more natural, now if you notice the object is moving in a “metro-line-style” (X or Y or Diagonal).

I had talked to Mark about it and mentioned that it’s purposefully designed that way. Meaning that only selected lines could be indented.

[coconParticipant]

I did not think of that. Indeed you wouldn’t “trust” the user messing with the original context of mojo in case something goes wrong. Nice one!

[coconParticipant]

I noticed that the special quote character (left from the number 1 on the keyboard – accent grave) used in the documentation is converted into code meta tags due to website configuration. Normally instead of a meta tag it should be like this:

Monkey

@param 'a'

1	@param 'a'

It might be very interesting for an easy and free solution.

Also I would like to try Krita at some point to see if it’s good for making art. These are some groundbreaking techniques.

Hi Mark, I don’t know why are there two gl contexts in your design, one for GLWindow and one for Window. Is it mostly for resource organization? Essentially the BeginGL/EndGL performs that swap.

On what Adam said, it would be very interesting to use custom user shaders at will. It reminds me of Minecraft where is heavily modded on shaders, beyond any initial plan. I think that this gets closer to a material/shader system (like Unity does).

Here is now a silly hack to make it work, theoretically it should work, but I have not compiled it yet.

In the file mojo.graphics.canvas

Monkey

' This is the default shader of the Monkey renderer (only for shapes) Field _shader:Shader ' This user shader field is added and two methods as well ' to assign/deassign a value to the object.

Wow! You provided us the whole game, lots of thanks.

[coconParticipant]

If you think that you want a secure, efficient, and modern operating system, you get other ideas. The tables have turned.

[coconParticipant]

I am still amazed by looking at the Blitzmax forums that there are lots of fans of the language still using it.

[coconParticipant]

Wow, basically you can make Ted a multi language editor that way, clever mod.

@degac

I would like to add some changes to TED2

You can code anything you want in a “dummy” class (that accepts a string parameter in an update method) and I will be able to convert it to a text view plugin. I had in plans for something like this to create a super lazy variable instantiation, but I had forgot it, I noted it down btw in a TODO list.

If you want to write the plugin write a new class as shown here:
https://github.com/blitz-research/monkey2/blob/master/src/ted2/textviewkeyeventfilter.monkey2

In my branch everything is put here:
https://github.com/coconcode/monkey2/blob/experimental-plugins/src/ted2/plugintextview.monkey2

What should I do if I want to add support for cpp-coding and replace some filters

At this moment the most easy way to solve it would be this, I consider later on to change the naming conventions back to the original.

Monkey

Class PluginTextView Protected Field fileTypeSupport:String() End Class PluginTextView_PluginForCPPAndMonkey Extends PluginTextView Protected fileTypeSupport = New String[] ("cpp", "monkey") Public Method ValidateFileTypePlugin(fileType:String) 'pseudocode ' Return fileTypeSupport.Contains(fileType) End End ... ... Function FilterKeyEvent(event:KeyEvent, textView:TextView) ... For Local p := Eachin Plugin.PluginsOfType<PluginTextView>() If event.Eaten Exit ' pseudocode ' If p.ValidateFileTypePlugin(MainWindowInstance.GetTheCurrentOpenedTypeFileType) p.OnFilterKeyEvent(event, textView) End Next

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

Class PluginTextView Protected Field fileTypeSupport:String() End   Class PluginTextView_PluginForCPPAndMonkey Extends PluginTextView Protected fileTypeSupport = New String[] ("cpp", "monkey")   Public Method ValidateFileTypePlugin(fileType:String) 'pseudocode ' Return fileTypeSupport.Contains(fileType) End End   ... ...   Function FilterKeyEvent(event:KeyEvent, textView:TextView) ... For Local p := Eachin Plugin.PluginsOfType<PluginTextView>() If event.Eaten Exit ' pseudocode ' If p.ValidateFileTypePlugin(MainWindowInstance.GetTheCurrentOpenedTypeFileType) p.OnFilterKeyEvent(event, textView) End Next

@Mark Sibly

Perhaps the TextViewKeyEventFilter plugin should be replaced with a simpler

This makes sense, since it would make plugins more powerful that way, can’t wait to try it.

 

 

Now about the status of my work, here are plugins so far.

PluginTextView_CursorMoveHome Name: "Toggle cursor between the the first word and the start of the current line." Shortcut: "Home" PluginTextView_CursorMoveWord Name: "Move cursor to start or end of each the word." Shortcut: "Control(Shift) + Left or Right" PluginTextView_LineCopyCut Name: "Copy or Cut a complete line when there is no text selection." Shortcut: "Control + C or X" PluginTextView_LineComment Name: "Toggle comment for lines." Shortcut: "Alt + C" PluginTextView_SelectWord Name: "Select a word." Shortcut: "Ctrl + D" PluginTextView_MouseSelect Name: "Select text while holding shift and clicking on the text." Shortcut: "Shift + Left Mouse Click" PluginTextView_MouseDoubleClickSelect Name: "Select a word by double clicking." Shortcut: "Left Double Click"

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

PluginTextView_CursorMoveHome Name: "Toggle cursor between the the first word and the start of the current line." Shortcut: "Home"   PluginTextView_CursorMoveWord Name: "Move cursor to start or end of each the word." Shortcut: "Control(Shift) + Left or Right"   PluginTextView_LineCopyCut Name: "Copy or Cut a complete line when there is no text selection." Shortcut: "Control + C or X"   PluginTextView_LineComment Name: "Toggle comment for lines." Shortcut: "Alt + C"   PluginTextView_SelectWord Name: "Select a word." Shortcut: "Ctrl + D"   PluginTextView_MouseSelect Name: "Select text while holding shift and clicking on the text." Shortcut: "Shift + Left Mouse Click"   PluginTextView_MouseDoubleClickSelect Name: "Select a word by double clicking." Shortcut: "Left Double Click"

 

The only plugin that suffers a bit “PluginTextView_MouseSelect” since you might try to move the mouse a little or release the shift key to actually see the text get selected. (Later on I might try experiement with some async code, perhaps with fibers or timers, who knows. I need that part executed 500ms later after the last event fired so the effect is done. Alternatively, perhaps making the UpdateCursor method of the TextView public and call it might work.)

 

No more no less there are some other ongoing efforts for creation of cool plugins (if you know any other post it here), a good attempt for cross-contaminating codes.
