how do i read an array with thyme?
please tell me!!

[electronicboy]

reading an array is like reading any other variable but with a slight change

Code: Select all

scene.my.array(X)

Where X is, is the value in the array you are reading.
Ps, the value starts from 0

E.g. In the array, [0,1,2,3.4]
array(0) would return 0
Array(3) would return 3

If you need more help just ask

i was doing

Code: Select all

e.other.text(0) == "MONITOR"?{e.this.text = e.other.text(1)} e.other.text(0) == "CLEAR"?{e.this.text = ""}

for oncollide, but it keeps changing it to

Code: Select all

e.other.text(0) == "MONITOR"(?)({e.this.text = e.other.text(1)})(e.other.text)(0) == "CLEAR"(?)({e.this.text = ""})

and it doesnt work.

so how do i fix this??

Like this:

Code: Select all

e.other.text(0) == "MONITOR" ? {e.this.text = e.other.text(1)} : {e.other.text(0) == "CLEAR" ? {e.this.text = ""} : {}}

or:

Code: Select all

e.other.text(0) == "MONITOR" ? {e.this.text = e.other.text(1)} : {};
e.other.text(0) == "CLEAR" ? {e.this.text = ""} : {}

[cocolover76]

Like this:

Code: Select all

e.other.text(0) == "MONITOR" ? {e.this.text = e.other.text(1)} : {e.other.text(0) == "CLEAR" ? {e.this.text = ""} : {}}

or:

Code: Select all

e.other.text(0) == "MONITOR" ? {e.this.text = e.other.text(1)} : {};
e.other.text(0) == "CLEAR" ? {e.this.text = ""} : {}

I tried both ways and it still didnt work.

If this helps you fix it, I am using Algodoo Phun Edition v5.28

I just realised that there is a deeper problem. You can't have an array in "text". "textureMatrix" would be the one to use.

[Someone Else]

For textureMatrix, you can only use float values, like 39.0.

Read viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4013 . Before I release my PC, I will get permission (I already private messaged Kutis96 to ask for permission but he didn't reply yet)
EDIT: he replyed.

[electronicboy]

I will pass a message on to kutis to check his PM over skype in the morning. well, what is morning to me
ps, fell free to send me a link >D

Have you managed to get the programing system working?
Kutis uses the eval command to remove the array out of the text.
I just cant remember how exactly it is used...
i mainly focus on helping with the actual programs and not the actual CPU...

[Someone Else]

Hmm... I am also trying (unsuccessfully) to reverse-engineer the AHOX computers.

Maybe I will try to look at a really old version, and also fool around with eval.

[cocolover76]

NOW, i am doing

Code: Select all

eval(e.other.text)(0) == "MONITOR" ? {e.this.text = eval(e.other.text)(1)} : {}; eval(e.other.text)(0) == "CLEAR" ? {e.this.text = ""} : {}

.
it accepted it, but it still does not work!!!!

and no, i CAN see the text if i change it in appearance so how do i fix this??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

edit: i might not post for a while and it will be a long time for me to finish typing this if i explain why.

[bozbez]

You're still trying to use a string as an array.

[electronicboy]

i think i know how to do it!

This will create a new variable on the cpu, called "program"
The program variable is where the program array will be stored.
this also presumes that the code is on the thyme CPU:

Put this code on a block collider (circles can have text)
The program will go in the text field on the collider.

e.other.program = eval(e.this.text)

This is based upon the eval code you have gave.

You will need to modify existing code in the processor.

E.g.

[code]eval(e.other.text)(0) == "MONITOR" ? {e.this.text = eval(e.other.text)(1)} : {}; eval(e.other.text)(0) == "CLEAR" ? {e.this.text = ""} : {}

Should be

[code]e.geom.program(0) == "MONITOR" ? {e.this.text = e.geom.program(1)} : {}; e.geom.program)(0) == "CLEAR" ? {e.this.text = ""} : {}

I see that the CPU is also the monitor

[Someone Else]

Thank You Electronicboy! It (mostly) works!

What you really want is this:

Code: Select all

e.this.program = eval(e.other.text);
{program(controllerAcc)(0) == "MONITOR"} ? {text = "" + program(controllerAcc)(1)} : {};
{program(controllerAcc)(0) == "MONITOR+"} ? {text = text + "\n" + program(controllerAcc)(1)} : {};
{program(controllerAcc)(0) == "CLEAR"} ? {text = ""} : {};
controllerAcc = controllerAcc + 1

Make sure you set controllerAcc to 0 first. That got me. Also, this is the syntax you want:

Code: Select all

[["MONITOR", "Hello"],
["MONITOR+", "World"],
["CLEAR"]]

It's an array of arrays, you need commas between commands and sections within commands. That got me, too.

I found that for this setup, you want the box with the program in its text to be fixated to a long bar, hinged to the background at the other end. The program box and the CPU should both have restitution of 1. The code box should swing into the CPU, bounce off, swing away, swing back, and strike the CPU again, performing the next opcode.

*bump*

I just found out that you can use code such as

Code: Select all

scene.my.array(scene.my.arrayaccess)

Instead of scene.my.array(--put integer here--)
So if scene.my.array=[2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64], and scene.my.arrayccess = 3, the result would be 16. This will make my new project so much easier!

[Someone Else]

That's exactly how the code in the post above uses controllerAcc.

Sorry, pointless bump, you fail.

[TC42]

Well, it had a point-- It was an accurate summary of the above code for those of use (like myself) who didn't understand a word of it

[Someone Else]

Fine.
Whatever.

[cocolover76]

I think I get it now....

Code: Select all

scene.my.program = e.other.text;
scene.my.one = scene.my.program(0);
scene.my.two = scene.my.program(1);
scene.my.three = scene.my.program(2);

So, after the above code happened, and e.other.text is:

Code: Select all

[1,2,3]

, scene.my.one would be 1, .two = 2, and .three = 3?
(I am incredbly busy, so I didn't have time to try this, sorry )

[electronicboy]

okay, firstly, the concept you have is correct, but it wont work like that (because of line one)

scene.my.program = eval{e.other.text}

Try that...

ps, if you had read the topic before posting, chances are, you wouldn't need to have bumped...

[Someone Else]

No, actually, it's eval(e.other.text).
Eval is a function, so the argument goes in parenthesis, not braces.

Sorry, I just held Page Down to get to the Post Reply because I was in a hurry so I would post it before I forgot my idea.
