I discovered the game. I believe that an experienced Small Basic user is able to do more.

LitDev,

Here's the code:

'Timer.interval= 10
'Timer.tick=OnTimerTick

'Name=LDTimer.Addtick(OnTimerTick)
'LDTimer.Interval(Name,10)

Name=LDTimer.Add()
LDTimer.Interval(Name,10)
LDTimer.Tick=OnTimerTick

Sub OnTimerTick
  TextWindow.WriteLine("Here")
EndSub

The first 2 lines are the regular timer. That works, but it has been commented out. The next 2 lines have been commented out and they don't work. The next 3 have not been commented out, but they don't work either. I couldn't find this in the old forum. So, how do you make these work. To me they are setup like the first 2 lines which do work.

LitDev,

I noticed that while checking out stepping in a program that all of the variable values don't get set at the bottom of the screen in the debug window. If I step through the below program in prime var3 and var5 don't get set. If I hover over them they do show the values. Also, if I have the variable and call stack displayed it works correctly.

Var1="This"
var2="that"
var3="and"
var4="so"
var5="on"
while "True"
  Program.Delay(30)
  EndWhile

The following program overwrites the line checklist["By Index"]="True" the On.ico icon.
How should the icons be used?

menuList["File"] = "Main"
menuList["Record"] = "Main"
menuList["Sort"] = "Main"
menuList["Help"] = "Main"
menuList["New Database"] = "File"
menuList["Open Database"] = "File"
menuList["Exit"] = "File"
menuList["Add Record"] = "Record"
menuList["Find by ID"] = "Record"
menuList["Records"] = "Record"
menuList["Exact Match"] = "Records"
menuList["Partial Match"] = "Records"
menuList["By Field"] = "Sort"
menuList["By Index"] = "Sort"
menuList["Print File"]= "Sort"
menuList["Print Label"]="Sort"
menuList["About"] = "Help"
iconList["File"]= Program.Directory + "\On.ico"
iconList["New Database"]= Program.Directory + "\On.ico"
iconList["Records"] = Program.Directory + "\On.Ico"
iconList["Exact Match"] = Program.Directory + "\On.Ico"
iconList["Partial Match"] = Program.Directory + "\Off.Ico"
iconList["By Index"] = Program.Directory + "\On.Ico"
iconList["By Field"] = Program.Directory + "\Off.Ico"
iconList["About"] = Program.Directory + "\On.Ico"
checklist["By Index"]="True"
menu = LDControls.AddMenu(GraphicsWindow.Width,32,menuList,iconList,checkList)

LitDev,

Using SB-Prime I wanted to capture variable changes while in the subroutine. These only show after the program goes back to the main loop. Is there any way to get it to do what I want it to do? I know the variables change while in the subroutine, but they don't show it.

LitDev,

I was in SB-Prime and tried to read the Debug Guide. When I click on that it takes me to a page asking if I want to buy that domain.  I think the button for the guide has the wrong link. Here is what is in the link:  litdev.co.uk/forum/HowToDebug.pdf. First part should probably be litdev.uk.

LitDev,

I noticed in the Intellisense that it says the command "LDFinances.HistoricalPrice" says that it returns nothing. That is incorrect. It returns the historical prices.

One of the very few good things that Q&A has brought to the SmallBasic language is the removal of the 64KByte limit for source code when publishing/importing.
I mean this came with the change of IDs from ABC123-0 to ABCD123.000.
Now really big and good programs can be published if someone has used SmallBasic in a specific topic.

However, long execution times occurred when loading the 167kB program Calendar PTKR773.0000, as well as when searching for "follow" between lines 500 and 1600.
Searching is significantly faster with the standard SmallBasic.
I hope it's not a big problem.


Update: The search function is fast again. I don't know what that was about.
             However, the loading function is still slow. Significantly faster in standard SmallBasic.

I was thinking about newcomers to small basic. One of the problems that they have while doing a tutorial is in getting it to work properly. This occurs because in level 1.2 things don't work as they used to. A lot of functions are broken, like Flickr or DownloadFile.With the litdev extension a lot of the current issues with 1.2 have been fixed. Microsoft no longer supports small basic. So, is there a way to get 1.2 to the level that a newcomer would need to be able to go through the tutorials without issues. 

Since Microsoft won't support changes I was wondering if litdev would be willing to make a small basic fix extension. In other words in that extension only have fixes for what is broke. I think that would take small basic back to what it used to be and make it easier for newcomers. Also, the current litdev extension has made small basic harder to learn if that extension is loaded.

Thoughts?
