Hello again!

A while back (over a year, actually) I uploaded a scene containing a computer I had made called the AHOX Lithium.
It was an attempt to create an Algodoo Computer that could run something along the lines of Microsoft Basic!

Since then, I haven't actually worked on any computers for a while and for a time I thought I wouldn't build another one.
But, people have been asking for a new one, and I had some ideas lying around!

So, here it is!
The AHOX Beryl, named after Beryllium, the element that comes after Lithium!

Its similar in many ways to the Lithium, but under the hood I have done quite a bit of optimization work and I have added several features, a few of which were honestly long overdue, such as being able to backspace in text prompts.

The case design is inspired by the iMac G4 and was originally going to be an "all-in-one lithium". However, I never ended up uploading it -- so I decided to remake the case for the AHOX Beryl!

This computer runs a homebrew language called AHOX Basic, which is a basic-like language built for Algodoo Computers! It's not nearly as capable as a real Basic distribution, but it does work.

All instructions are in the scene.
Have phun!

1.1 HOTFIX (4/18/24)
Fixed split expression
Updated BoltOS to BoltOS 2.1, adding support for inline command arguments and fixing bugs related to protected files.

Nice, you remembered to put "split()" in the Ab manual!
Suggestion - For BoltOS, you can use split() in a certain way to create commands like "delete text.txt" or "rename program.prg xperience.prg"
Also, what do you mean "Import functions from a file on the hard drive"

Overall, quite nice!

Ugh.
Unfortunately, split isn't working properly and I'm now remembering why I didn't include it in the Lithium Manual.

I gave it a basic test and for some reason it worked in the test, but its still not working properly. Worse yet, if I right click on the processor and enter the script menu after it fails to run, it crashes Algodoo! )|(

I am going to have to release a hotfix unfortunately along with the new version of BoltOS.

Alright, I have added your request to BoltOS!
Thank you for your feedback!

Also, please explain the "import" opcode in more detail, I don't fully understand what it means.

Import basically appends a program to the currently running program, allowing you to use functions from the imported program within the currently running program.

I hope this helps!

However the next PC could be named after Boron or maybe Carbon too(i looked up the periodic table)

I made and uploaded my first AHOX program on algobox!

Turns out that the AHOX Writer recreation's menu library uhh DOESN'T WORK. Can you move the program counter to a variable (e.g. goto var0) or move the program counter to an item of a list(e.g. goto k(2))? That's the main problem I'm having. The failedCommand is:
IF key("E")=1 then goto k(3)
IF you can't tell, k(3) is the 4th item of a list called k.

Whoops! There should be a system variable for the program counter!
Try using @pc - I might have forgot to add it to the manual :lol:

Hope this helps!

Edit: Ohhh wait, I see what you mean. Derp :bonk:

I thought I added variable functionality to goto but upon testing it it appears I didn't.

I should probably get around to doing that eventually then...

Fixing "goto" was very simple! All I did was change the "goto" function to:
opcode == "goto" ? {
_isANumber(_solve(parts(1))) ? {
numb = (math.toInt(parts(1)) / 10);
numb + 0.0 == (math.toInt(parts(1)) / 10.0) ? {
_pc = (math.toInt(parts(1)) / 10) - 2
} : {
_error("Invalid GOTO expression", 1, 1)
}
} : {
_jpFunc(parts(1))
}
You may have noticed that the ONLY change I made was at the starting if statement, where I changed parts(1) to _solve(parts(1))

And, I BARELY changed _jpFunc too. The changed line is:
funcLoc = _findFunction(_solve(funct));

Edit: fixed grammar

@user35867 The next computer will in fact be called the AHOX Magnesium! :lol:
