It's not important, but it might be handy.
Maybe something like this:
Code: Select all
Structure Player
Name.s
X.w
Y.w
Direction.w
EndStructure
Player1.Player
With Player1
Name = "Player 1"
X = 100
Y = 100
Direction = 90
EndWith
NewList Players.Player()
AddElement(Players())
With Players()
Name = "Player"
X = 100
Y = 100
Direction = 90
EndWith
Example of some code i'm writing right now:
Code: Select all
Box(Window()\X,Window()\Y,Window()\Width,Window()\Heigth,RGB(92,92,92))
Box(Window()\X+1,Window()\Y+1,Window()\Width-2,Window()\Heigth-2,RGB(148,148,148))
Box(Window()\X+2,Window()\Y+2,Window()\Width-4,16,RGB(128,128,128))
It would look much bether like this:
Code: Select all
With Window()
Box(X,Y,Width,Heigth,RGB(92,92,92))
Box(X+1,Y+1,Width-2,Heigth-2,RGB(148,148,148))
Box(X+2,Y+2,Width-4,16,RGB(128,128,128))
EndWith

I found it in other (OOP) languages, and was pretty handy...

It's on the todo list but will requiers the '\' before the variables:
Code: Select all
With Players()
\x = aa
\y = vv
EndWidth

Right, to not confuse with normal variables...
Great!

I can live with that, thanks Fred

Hum, just to say that the "\" character is really slow to write, that would consume time in the programming
(Ok, I'm joking, but seriously I would rather have "/" or something like that
)

Silly.
\ is already used in PB for structures, so why introduce anothe way to do the same?
Other languages uses . but I find \ pretty handy...

Why is it slow? It's not like you need to press Shift to type it... it's got its
own key on the keyboard... typing $ is slower because you need Shift.

on a danish keyboard you have to press AltGR+the button to make it
so its likely that way on other european keyboards too.

Errm, apart from this being kinda redundant, I have to use [Alt-Gr] and [?]
EDIT: ah, thefool was (much) faster

Instead of a "\" could we not have a "." instead. This then follows the same convention as other languages and makes code a lot easier to read.

Yes, this is not a bad idea.
As thefool said, it's not that easy to type it, need to push altGr and 8 on my keyboard...

I see... on English keyboards you just hit the "\" key alone.

on my iBook keyboard, there is no key/key combination for this at all
Dunno what the Apple people thought here, but it just isn't there...

In italian kb I have the \ key
Instead, ~ is not present, and have to press ALT + 126 to obtain it.
Lukily it's not too used here
