  Small Basic Program Conversion to C#
Posted by: jrmrhrb00 - 12-09-2024, 01:05 PM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (9)

What can a person do when they have a small basic program that they want to convert to c# and the conversion comes up with a bunch of error messages that you don't understand that originates from visual studio. The program runs fine in small basic. The problems occur after conversion. This is an issue with visual studio. It generally gives potential fixes that never work and the explanation of what is wrong is way beyond my comprehension.

Most of the time I end up just leaving the running program in small basic and give up on converting to c#. I know that is not the ideal way of doing it, but what else can a person do?

  Missing .jpg files

In the article for how to Graduate to c#. It mentions 3 .jpg files. I can't find them.

Stones.jpg

I assume they're on the forum somewhere, but I don't have a clue as to where.

Sorry for being a bit off-topic. Can you clarify? How does crowd marketing work, and can you provide an example? Also, is there any useful software for this?

If i have a program and call a subroutine in that program from the UI thread, will it still be on the UI thread or does it run on a different thread?

  Small Basic 1.2
Posted by: jrmrhrb00 - 11-23-2024, 12:26 AM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - No Replies

I was doing a little research on small basic. Level 1.2 was released on Oct. 1, 2015. Small Basic was actually an idea way back in 2008. That is when Microsoft started developing it. To see how I figured this out in your url type "Way Back Machine". It will load a web page. Then click on Wayback Machine again. It loads a new page and from it, it wants you to enter a url. Type in Smallbasic.com.at the top of that it shows a calendar. The first entries for the calendar start in 2008.

If you select one of the entries in the calendar it will bring up a smallbasic.com webpage. Look at that page and find where it says "need help". Click on that and it takes you into the old forum. Some of the links work in the forum and some don't. It depends on if it was archived. So, we can get into some parts of the old forum through the "Way Back Machine"! The "Way Back Machine" is basically an archive of what was on the internet at that point in time. Not everything was archived, but a lot of it was.

  SB.js
Posted by: z-s - 11-22-2024, 05:51 AM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (6)

this is work in progress for SB.js for executing the sb on browser.
put your sb code in the div section:

PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<
html lang="en">
<
head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>SB.js Executor</title>
</
head>
<
body>
    <h1>SB.js Executor</h1>

    <!-- Small Basic code goes here -->
    <div class="SB">
        x 2
ar_ind 
1
        y 
x
        TextWindow
.WriteLine(y)
hello[ar_ind] = "hii"
TextWindow.WriteLine(hello[1])
    </div>

    <script>
        arrays = []
// Run the SB code when the page loads
        window.onload runSBCode;

        // Main execution function
        function runSBCode() {
            // Extract code from the div with class "SB"
            const codeDiv document.querySelector(".SB");
            const code codeDiv.textContent.trim().split("\n").map(line => line.trim());  // Split by newline
const arrayRegex = /([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)\[\s*([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)\s*\]/;

            code.forEach(line => {
                if (line) {

    const arrayMatch line.match(arrayRegex);
                    if (arrayMatch) {
                        const arrayName arrayMatch[1]; // Extract array name
                        if (!arrays.includes(arrayName)) {
                            eval(`${arrayName} = []`);  // Initialize the array
arrays.push(arrayName);  // Store the array name
                        }
                    }

                    // Check if the line is a TextWindow.WriteLine command
                    if (line.startsWith("TextWindow.WriteLine")) {
                        // Extract the content within the parentheses
                        const match = line.match(/TextWindow\.WriteLine\((.*)\)/);
                        if (match) {
                            const content = match[1].trim();
                            // Replace TextWindow.WriteLine with console.log
                            const jsCode = `console.log(${content})`;
                            eval(jsCode);  // Execute the JavaScript code
                        }
                    } else {
                        // If it's just a normal SB code line, try to eval it directly
                        try {
                            eval(line);  // Execute the Small Basic line as JavaScript
                        } catch (e) {
                            console.log(`Error in executing: ${line} - ${e.message}`);
                        }
                    }
                }
            });
        }
    </script>
</
body>
</
html
and see the result in console but only array ,variables and TextWindow.WriteLine() is currently working nothing else.
   

good ui and more coming soon.

  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
