Super noob ColSplit question
Hi everyone !
![]() Trying to do something very simple with Blitz 2 on my A1230/AGA/Indivision. Not done proper development for... 20 years ! (used to do stuff in C for MOS) I was just checking the behaviour of the ColSplit function. I was surprised that even with a super simple example, I was getting an odd behaviour. Basically, after the bitmap and slice definitions, with a simple : For A=0 to 15 ColSplit 0,A,0,A,A*15 Next What happens is, one bar is missing - so one of the bars is twice as big as the others. The others look correct. But, with other value of the last (Y) parameter, it looks correct (all 15 regular bars). For instance, with A*10 instead of A*15. ![]() ![]() Last edited by mahen; 27 May 2024 at 11:22. |

(BTW... Should I stick to the regular Slices or switch to the Coplists from the "new" Display library ?? There is very little info about the latter in the documentation...)

looks like it doesn't like the numbers 207-211 (for when a is 14)
changing ColSplit 0,A,0,A,A*15 to If A=14 ColSplit 0,A,0,A,(A*15)+2 Else ColSplit 0,A,0,A,A*15 End if Seems to work |

Thanks for your reply !
Hmm... So there would be forbidden values which are not documented ? Strange... Meanwhile I tried to build my example with the latest AmiBlitz 3 beta : it crashed during compilation ![]() Also, I tested this example with compatibility stuff like killaga, nofastmem etc. just in case, no difference. Edit : I tried to switch to the Display library to check if it made a difference. Seems ColSplit is not compatible with Display library but only with Slices ? Edit 2 : man. DisplayRainbow supersedes ColSplit, right ? For some reason, no mention of this function in the book I read (Guide to Blitz Basic, which is more comprehensive than "BB Manual" overall, but not for the Display library apparenty.

And I think DisplayRGB for individual values. see here https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=69550 and https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=93921 |

Great, will give this a try !
I'll switch to the Display library. Still interested to know what is wrong with the ColSplit function if it rings anyone a bell ![]() |

Hi ! Been tinkering with the Display lib, understood and played with your example etc. Pretty cool ! Actually works better than the Slice+Colsplit, which, in my tests, induced flickering...
2 things bug me : - I have some corruption at the top of the screen when I use the ShowRainbow command with a palette of which indexes 254 and 255 are set with AGAPalRGB (not zeroed). Must stop at 253. Not a big deal but is that normal ? (what I call corruption is, the first lines are filled with the bad colour, the last one I guess, as if there was an overflow, timing issue or something) - I output text with BitmapOutput and PRINT. Even when altering the palette or using the Colour command, the text is ALWAYS black. Altering the index 1 of the current palette or setting a different colour makes no difference. Even after removing all the Rainbow stuff and making a minimalistic example. Any idea ?! Of course, I did use InitPalette, AGAPalRGB, InitCopList, Bitmap, DisplayPalette, CreateDisplay, DisplayBitMap, BitMapOutPut and tripled checked all arguments. Thanks so much for your help ![]() ![]() Last edited by mahen; 28 May 2024 at 21:53. |

Blitzbasic 2 is bit more complex(mean bit harder) than Amiga Amos to learn.
Once you learn how own framework sprites(and understanding how copper work,playfield effect) working up and running with no crashing then you are on way to used recode work whichever game you making ![]() Good Luck mahen ![]() |

Glad you're getting there!
Difficult, without seeing the code+images etc, to diagnose but if the text is black it'll be being displayed using a pen that is currently black. Alternatively the coplist has been opened with the wrong flags so the wrong colours get displayed? maybe draw a few filled squares on the bitmap using all the available pens to see what the palette is, it might be the palette hasn't loaded/set correctly... |

Oh man. Found. The initcoplist had a 1 colour argument. I assumed it was 1 bitplane hence 2 colours. I wonder what a 1 colour screen actually means ?!
I was sure I had tried other values several times but apparently not ! Cannot believe I spent hours on this !! ![]() Last edited by mahen; 28 May 2024 at 23:15. |

Hi !
![]() Been making progress. I thought maybe I should show you a bit of code in the probable case I'm doing stuff in a horrible way ! So here my code. Hmm... I wrote everything in French for my own pleasure but maybe I should switch to English if I am to ask for advice... :-/ Here is what the code does : - it monitors MIDI events from the serial port - it detects chords (for the moment only triads) - it adds "enemies" on the screen which for the moment are just displayed as copper bars of random size/position/speed - to defeat an enemy you must hit the right chord on the MIDI keyboard with the proper inversion when specified between parenthesis That is all for the time being. Here are my problems : - for some reason, it triggers an exception (crash) when I invoke "CLS" from my affichageListeEnnemis{} function (which displays in text form the "weak points" of the enemies -- ie the chord you have to hit) BUT CLS does work when invoked before the function. I don't understand as NPrint does work properly from the function. - performance issues. As soon as there are many big enemies. Look for "; Affichage des ennemis" in the code to see the spot. This is where I prepare the palette #1 for the ShowRainbow effect to display the enemy as a copper bar. MAybe I should use more temporary variables to reduce the amount of computations ? (my target machine is my A1230@50) - it's not visible in the game but when using ShowRainbow, I can see sometimes the wrong colour at the end of a line -- it can show the colour of the next line at the end of the previous one. Happens on the first line of copper bars, here is an example on a 1 line bar : ![]() Any comment is welcome ! Code:
