    Are you on Windows?

    In BlitzMax we needed to work around the 8K limit (older versions 2K)  restricting command line arguments.

    As a workaround you may be able to move your projects and monkey2 closer to root as I think Monky2 uses a lot of absolute paths.

    Rethinking this maybe a Monkey2 Awareness Weekend might be the thing.

    The more code I write in monkey2 the more I want to sing it’s praises.

     

    The one thing I noticed about the global game jams is they are a time when people are open to learning new tools, up-skilling etc.

    It will be bugged. There are some scary memory copies in the color array handler that have not been implemented for the tag array

    Hmm. I have had nothing but pleasure from the standard Debian Jessie release and chose to respect the Raspbian team as gods.

    Currently my Pi2 is hooked up to mouse, keyboard, Yamaha Dx7 (first ever MIDI instrument brought to market?) another USB Akai controller, Korg Micro Kontrol, stereo and low res DVI monitor.

    I do play with boot config.txt a bit when switching monitors and perhaps I did add the gpu_mem setting…

    I am using the DX7 keyboard as a standing desk and doing more and more coding in BigTed on Pi each day. I was going to post a video this morning but vsynth locked up after a few minutes when I may have bumped the scan midi bus button.

    Anyway, I was being a bit optimistic about release schedule so am now aiming for later this week to release a monkey2-pi-03 but am giving it a good thrashing and looking forward to upgrading to pi3 where hopefully it will perform quite spritely.

    The zoom on this demo is going to be quite something as the traverse algorithm can hopefully be applied recursively with ample opportunity for bake to texture cycle…

    After writing a new language, doing all the docs, coding a new UI, writing an IDE, building a website, deploying a new module manager you would think the guy has more time on his hands!

    A few things:

    Alt F4 should quit BigTed if it hasn’t crashed.

    To find monkey2 the bigted binary should be copied and run from monkey2/bin.

    There is an issue where bad values end up in bigted.state.json’s windowRect which I need to fix.

    If you cat /boot/config.txt what is your GPU_MEM set to? Which Pi do you have?

     

    Would you be able to test my binary Pi releases here to make sure they work –

    Hi Adam,

    Horizontal mouse scrolling was added here

    https://github.com/nitrologic/m2/commit/ac94e68c4a7394c25b0f72f4dae2f8fd75f0de1d

    Re tags, if you have made docs the F1 key should give you quick help / auto find for the token under the cursor.

    BigTed (sibling of Ted2) is nearly ready for use on pi, not long now.

    Awesome, getting RequestFile to call my proxy RequestFile directly sorted it out.

    Thanks for the help.

    I feel lazy for asking but I just wanted to check, in the following I am pressing Ctrl-O to open file which causes I thought the Run code to happen in a fiber.

    I think I am getting confused thinking anything in Lambda form is in it’s own fiber.

    Hi Adam, to use monkey2 from the command line you need to invoke the mx2cc_platform command as found in the bin folder.

    I have created a thread on the Pi programming forums here.

    I had several issues with github binaries so went with the 1.0 exe.

    I just tried and this worked for me:

     

    download monkey2-v1.0.0.exe

    run inside Downloads folder and aim at Downloads folder to decompress

    go to resulting monkey2-v1.0.0 folder and run pink Monkey2 (Windows).exe

     

    well, it worked for me
