Re: FUZE BASIC is now on Rosetta Code

For the case of printf() ... The ()'s are there because it's a function in a separate library and not part of the compiler. C is actually very simple and doesn't have any built-in functions (exception: sizeof which technically isn't a function but it looks like one) so anything like a print functio...

Re: FUZE BASIC is now on Rosetta Code

I'm very happy to hear that you have a long list of ideas for continuing work on RTB. I look forward to your innovations, hopefully in the not too distant future. I hope you will consider the fact that BASIC was THE language for 8 bit machines and just because computers evolved to become faster and...

Re: FUZE BASIC is now on Rosetta Code

By the way, genius solution using line numbers in the editor and not in the code. Clever. I am however a bit puzzled by the use of "CYCLE" from a non-BASIC language, but it's perfectly acceptable. I mean, why not? I'm no purist. It's nice to have a dash of color and history to liven things up and m...

Re: FUZE BASIC is now on Rosetta Code

True, Fuze has a GUI editor. And true, it's faster to type than reach over to a mouse. I just like to have all of my project files in one editor. With my current project, I have a PHP/HTML file, a CSS file, an XML file, and an RTB file all open in Geany. I can make code changes and simply click the...

Re: FUZE BASIC is now on Rosetta Code

Gordon, Is there a way to run RTB so that it loads a file without running it automatically? Or when it runs, if it hits an error it doesn't close?

Re: FUZE BASIC is now on Rosetta Code

I'm just a fan of efficiency at any level. Where's the art, man?! Me to. But often the most expensive thing we have to make efficient is development time not run time or memory space. Agreed. In our dragon's den (programming dept), every project starts with my personal motto; "Do it ugly, make it p...

Sure, the tech is less expensive and more powerful, but the new programmers I've had on my teams are INCAPABLE of writing efficient code.

Re: FUZE BASIC is now on Rosetta Code

I come from the old 1K memory school as well. Now a days I don't care so much. If my Javascript creation takes 100MB on a Pi that is only 10 percent of what's available. It' dirt cheap compared to those 1K machines we were building back then. It's a lot faster. It's a lot smaller and consumes less p...
