_JKDOS

@ybasic I am sure it's working as intended, otherwise, I'd be having trouble with my implementation in my project. :)

Tratax

Here's my wishlist: CRT filter like we have with Nintendo's NES/SNES Mini Classic devices :)

Eearslya

The ability to make our own variable-argumented functions, similar to how print and printAt can take any number of arguments.

Kat

@Tratax you're in luck! I don't know very much about it myself but we do have a CRT shader :) check these help pages for the info

@Eearslya This will very helpfoul, but sometimes some flexibility in types for function arguments helps to not have to implement overloads which are essentially the same code just with the types changed

Eearslya

@ITzTravelInTime I think you misunderstand, I wasn't asking for functions that can only take specific variable TYPES, but for functions that can take a variable NUMBER of arguments.
e.g. printAt(0, 0, var1, var2, var3, ...)

MikeDX

@Eearslya we do need that for sure!

Discostew

@Eearslya Well, you can kinda do it right now using an array.

count = myargs( 0, 0, [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] )

function myargs( item1, item2, itemarr )
return len(itemarr)

@Eearslya I see thank you for the clarification

Tratax

@Kat That, is amazing - I'm heading home on the train and cant wait to get on the switch and try this out! Sorry, I should have searched before assuming it wasn't built in haha

Kat

@Tratax No worries!

Dave

@Tratax whilst you can't discern much form the very short clip size limit on the Switch's upload feature, I did a little video using a CRT shader on some maths patterns, you might get an idea for parameter values from it - you can make some truly bizarre effects with it!

_JKDOS

I'll give this a try.

We need an elseif or elif

if (a) then
    // do a
elseif (b) then
    // do b
else
    // do else
endif

I'd also like to see a switch case someday. Might look like this.

switch (expression)
    case value-1
        // do this
        break
    case value-2
        // do this
        break
    default
        // do this
endswitch

@_JKDOS As you already know, the latter of those two is on the list of things to come. The first is unlikely. But, request noted.

_JKDOS

@Martin Thats awesome. I would think getting the switch condition would be more unlikely, so I count myself lucky

Discostew

Functions to help us determine what type a variable is, like isInt, isFloat, isString, isVector, and isArray. Dunno if isStruct would be workable.

Eearslya

@Discostew For structs, maybe even a generic isA that we can pass a struct type to.

Aceba1

Intellisense?
Parameter context / reference for commands?
Summary-comments that appear when a type or method associated with it is selected or hovered over?

Eearslya

getDrawTarget(). Useful for functions that draw to images. It would allow them to save a reference to the current draw target and restore it before they return, so the rest of the program doesn't end up confused.

pico8-jihem

Can you add a strSplit(<string>,<string separator>) function that returns an array of strings ?
result=strSplit("this+is+my+text","+")

after execution, result = ["this","is","my","text"]
