  LDArray extension
Posted by: Yumda - 11-17-2024, 10:05 PM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (17)

Hi All...

This may seem like a dumb question... but

Having trouble understanding how to use the LDarray extension.  There is no examples, do you think you can give me some example?

I am having trouble to even create one using the ldarray extension, normal Sb array is fine, but just don't seem to get ldarray to work.

Thanks you all for helping and your time in advance.

Regards

  How to exit a subroutine half way through
Posted by: Yumda - 11-11-2024, 01:48 AM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - Replies (2)

Hi there:

Just not sure if this is possible with small basic.

Been trying to exit a subroutine half way through but so far does not have much success, any ideas ?

All help is much appreciated.

Implement quicksort algorithm and sort 1000 random numbers.

Interesting to see if it's easier the usual way understanding the algorithm and writing the code or getting AI to do it for you?

(translated by Google translator)

Hi all.  Shy
One day, I was sitting in front of the monitor and feeling sad. Almost no one on our forum writes anything, says anything, or asks anything.
In this situation, I couldn't even bring myself to create a demo program. I thought, why create a program if no one is interested in it.

Then I thought that I could call my Copilot for help.
Copilot proudly declared that he could write code in Small BASIC and knew the LitDev library.
I thought that if people are too lazy to write code in Small BASIC themselves, then maybe they would be interested in writing code with the help of AI.

Therefore, I suggest you a new topic where you can talk about your achievements in teamwork with AI.

( this is now fashionable Wink )

Make a Drag and Drop feature using the Mouse buttons to position a GraphicsWindow shape (Rectangle).

Extend it to rotate the shape when Shift key is down.

  Decompile to C# in SB-Prime - Checkbox Console App
Posted by: Scout - 10-15-2024, 04:21 PM - Forum: C# Moving from Small Basic - Replies (3)

The Chess Engine SB_Scout is a mixed application with a text window and a graphics window. (PDVF923.000)
As it is not a pure console application, I have disabled the checkbox "Export as Console App".
Is the following error related to this or is there another cause?

  SmallBasic Open Edition
Posted by: KristianVirtanen - 10-13-2024, 04:41 PM - Forum: C# Moving from Small Basic - Replies (21)

Hi,

This project (SmallBasic Open Edition) is part of a larger whole, where the goal is to recreate Microsoft SmallBasic, at least in its main features.

The first phase of the project, which is exactly this, is to create the same classes as in SmallBasic: Text, Math, GraphicsWindow, and so on. The project is mostly complete, although types for variables, some small tests, and so on are still required.

Note: The classes Array, Flickr, and Dictionary have not been created.

Array is missing because I have not yet decided on the final way the future compiler will handle arrays. I have a couple of different solutions for this, but I haven’t had time to decide yet. 

Flickr is missing because I am simply not very familiar with this service, and their API is completely unknown to me. 

Dictionary is a class I’m not sure if I want to spend time on, at least not personally.

Unlike the original SmallBasic, Open Edition converts SmallBasic code into the C# programming language and compiles it afterward. This brings significant advantages in terms of memory management, speed, and extensibility.

Variables will function mostly the same way as in the original SmallBasic. This is made possible by C#’s dynamic. However, the idea is that variables will require a suffix of "$" at the end of their names. Not only does this make the programs easier to compile, but I also believe it helps distinguish variables and makes coding a bit easier.

The program that tokenizes and converts SmallBasic code into C# is also mostly done. However, at the moment, it's more like a pile of sticks rather than a well-designed and structured program, so its release will be more appropriate at a later time.

Example SmallBasic program:

Code:
' Example Smallbasic program
x$ = 1
y$ = 2
c$ = "Foo"
TextWindow.WriteLine(x$ + y$ + c$)
SayHello()
Goto MyLabel:
TextWindow.WriteLine("I'm never printed.")
MyLabel:
Program.End()
Sub SayHello
    TextWindow.WriteLine("Hello")
EndSub

Converted to C#:

Code:
// Converted as C#
namespace SmallBasicOpenEditionDll
{
    public static class SB_Program
    {
        // Declare dynamic variables (similar to Smallbasic's dynamic typing)
        public static dynamic x = 1;
        public static dynamic y = 2;
        public static dynamic c = "Foo";
        // Entry point of the program
        public static void Main()
        {
            // Equivalent of TextWindow.WriteLine(x$ + y$ + c$)
            TextWindow.WriteLine(x + y + c);
            // Call the method SayHello()
            SayHello();
            // This line will not be executed
            Goto MyLabel:
            TextWindow.WriteLine("I'm never printed.");
            MyLabel:
            Program.End();
        }
        // The equivalent of SmallBasic's subroutine 'SayHello'
        public static void SayHello()
        {
            TextWindow.WriteLine("Hello");
        }
    }
}

Note: I work with this while I am working with two job's and such, so this will not move forward in fast speed. Help is appreciated here. Let me know Smile

  Training program for SB-Neuron.
Posted by: AbsoluteBeginner - 10-10-2024, 03:52 PM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (13)

(translated by Google translator)

Hi all.  Shy

So, we have found out that the quality of the responses that a neuron gives in response to input data is determined by the set of weights of the neuron's inputs and the shape of the activation function.

Almost always we hear that during training a set of weights for the neuron inputs is configured.
We know that before training we can choose the type of activation function for a neuron.

But our forum will not be worthy of the proud name "Small Basic" if we do not try to create such a training program that will SIMULTANEOUSLY configure BOTH the input weights of the SB-Neuron and the shape of its activation function.  Cool

Let's do it, gentlemen!..

  LDGraph.AddSeriesPoints(). Point size.
Posted by: AbsoluteBeginner - 10-02-2024, 09:20 PM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (2)

Dear LitDev,

if possible, please add the ability to set the diameter of the Point in the series that is created.  Angel

In practice, it turned out that this option is very necessary.

Thank you in advance and sorry for disturbing you.  Blush
