TinySB
========what is it========
TinySB is a tiny version of smilebasic, it will run on WINDOWS
It is in development because atleast (1) user/s has told me they would use it.
Some limitations will apply.
Here is a pastebin showing some commands in progress:
http://pastebin.com/bkmdjmhr
What will it do?
To start with, it will do text parsing, gcolor parsing, including hex.
It will do locate, and setcursor commands as well.
Cls commands.
Sync (Vsync)
The main function will be graphics/sprites/text/input.
It will support all 4 bg layers as well as all 5 GRP's
It will support loading and saving of NATIVE DAT file formats.
No sound will be implemented except perhaps mml if I can figure out how though that may be *difficult* considering I would need some kind of library.
It will also support sprites.
It will support touch screen emulation. How accurately I don't know.
This will be a work in progress but I can most likely finish a large portion of it in under 3 days.
It will not be able to load native GRP files at this time.
Not ALL commands will be supported but I will try to support as many as possible.
To run files you'll have to type run and the filename, which will be stored in a plaintext file I suppose.
The file will have to be parsed first, unless I invent some kind of smart search.
i'm unsure how acurate math parsing will be.
As it's going to run interpreted chances are it may in some cases run SLOWER than SmileBasic, but if you have a beefy machine or if you don't ask too much of it, it should be able to run most things.
Porting your game to it would be possible but you'd have to omit certain commands.
most Math commands will be implemented if I can get them to work exactly as they do on SB.
For now only dat files of the int type are supported but I'll extend that to support reals as well as color once the base project is completed.
That's about it.
Anymore questions? Yes I'm really doing this. No it won't be easy but it certainly will move quickly. This is easier than making a game, in some cases.
I will create update posts as this progresses, no download available as I just started this this evening.
TinySB Interpreter in the works
Root / Talk About Programs / [.]
CoinzReturnsCreated:
I've made progress!
I now have some of the smilebasic commands wrapped and working (directly)
Interpretation isn't built yet but calling some of the functions that i've wrapped directly work
Here's the result of colored text (It is using smilebasic's color constants)
more to come soon. :D
Update
Hype Hype Hype.
I don't want anyone to freak out yet, but there is a possibility that this project's development may lead to a faster development of a gameboy emulator for SmileBasic. by RaichuBender.
I have full faith an emulator is fully feasible, so long as SmileBasic can handle the framerates.
Processing of SmileBasic commands isn't implemented yet, nor is program flow control structure such as:
if, else, and, or, for, xor, to ,gosub, goto, return, dim, var, etc.
Those commands will be some of the last to be implemented due to their complexity ranges...although simplified versions of them may be implemented for early parsing testing and development.
Commands like left$, right$, cut$, copystring$ mid$, etc will be very easy to implement.
Nested for loops and statements as well as data statements may be difficult to implement.
It may be a week or two at this rate before a version of TinySB is released even if I have a demo running.
I want the first release to be as useful as possible.
Soo today I just started toying with the idea of you know.. simulated arrays.
In playbasic, for TinySB
and I kind of solved it.
so..
Yeah arrays are gonna be a thing in the early version hooray!
here's the NON smilebasic code, aka the code in playbasic that will be responsible, I have a few more algorithms to write for the 3D array to 1D index and 4D array to 1D index, but after this I should be able to use these functions for all types of arrays (not just one type) IE, strings, ints, etc
And here's a screenshot

Update: 3D array strings are re-dimmable in the function layer now.
This isn't a joke.
I just have to do:
2D string arrays (make them resizable)
1D string arrays (make them resizable--easy)
3D int arrays (make them resizable)
2D int arrays (make them resizable)
1D int arrays (make them resizable--easy)
And then for the time being arrays will be done. Floats will be last.
After that, I suppose it's onto the variables next.
Please do understand I'm only coding the support functions at this time, not the functionality for TinySB to actually do anything with them though,
testing the support functions outside of the interpreter is fun! That is to say the functions act as a software abstraction layer and I can still type them in directly (Hey I know what I'm doing I'm the one building it)
On that note, does anyone have a rip of all the SmileBasic Sounds and music I can make use of?
I may actually be able to get the pitch feature of beeps to work in TinySB if someone can provide me with a soundpack.
Thanks!

Update:
I've got BG layers Implemented ... sort of.
The tiles themselves are hard coded (basically they exist as a place holder tiles for whichever GRP is mapped to the bg layer)
So far with the BGOFS and BGPUT commands, along with a function called DRAWBGS' which will happen every frame since that is what SmileBasic does, it's looking pretty good.
So i've finished with the 1D ints, the 2D ints, the 3D ints, and same with 1D strings 2D strings, and 3D strings.
I've got BG layers sort of implemented (as functions)
The function layer is coming along.
What's missing!
ALOT!! ALOT is missing. At this point it's just a toy engine, it can't interprete anything yet.
That's why in the screenshots you might notice the code is still (rather directly referencing functions or declaring variable names directly)
It's now possible though (to use the functions to get the array values and store things like the BGOffset into arrays) again using functions that do it because interpretation doesn't exist yet... but that's ok it can emulate some of what SmileBasic does.
and guess what! Just this afternoon I finished up some of the G_color commands. they technically work if something were to be thrown at them they'd return rgb color codes (which are used to change text color and background color)
Soo it's coming along clickity clickity clackity !!
EDIT
Just to show off, here's a screenshot of 2 BG's more filled in , moving independently in the function engine:
Research:
So it looks like the color command doesn't ever accept an RGB parameter.. that is strange to me.
Gcolor maybe?
Nah it's more complex you have to use fontdef or something to get font colors outside SmileBasic's normal constants.
Update
Finally something interesting happened.
The image speaks for itself, I have colored text foregrounds and backgrounds working (globally) now using the text constants I programmed first
I seem to have a handle on this! that's surprising.
EDIT have to post this omg:
This just looks cool
Update
It's about time alright people what's working what isn't
Working:
BGOFS(layer, X, Y) Equivalent to BGOFS layer, X, Y
Color_#(#TCOLOR, #TCOLOR) equivalent to (Color HexValueOrTColor value, HexvalueOrTColor value)
COLOR_1#(#TCOLOR) equivalent to Color (HexvalueOrTColor value)
COLOR_2#(#TCOLOR) equivalent to Color( , HexvalueorTcolor value) <notice the comma
Locate(X, Y) Equivalent to locate(X, Y) lol
vsync_empty() or Vsync_ equivalent to Vsync without a value
Vsync(value) equivalent to giving a value to vsync
Cls (not wrapped yet but pretty darn obvious)
BGCLR(layer) equivalent to BGCLR layer
BGCLR() equivalent to BGCLR (clears all layers)
BGSHOW(layer) equivalent to BGSHOW Layer
BGHIDE(layer) equivalent to BGHIDE layer
print_string (equivalent to print) <--This is special because it uses global text color settings to print the colored strings
Gcolor_#( #color) equivalent to Gcolor #value like Gcolor #RED
A few other color commands and BG commands have been wrapped but aren't fully functional yet
BGPUT(layer, TileX, TileY, tilenumber) Equivalent to BGPUT layer, X, Y, BGDATA
Aside from all the cool wrapper functions I have DIM isn't integrated yet.
Inc obviously exists but isn't wrapped yet. It will probably look something like Inc(variable_name$) which will be wrapped
to another function that parses strings, or variable math etc.
I hope soon to get goto and gosub working as well as @LABELS and on X Goto or On X Gosub though i'd rather get
sprites and text out of the way!
So yeah this has been a success (so far) and I have a lot more functions to wrap SmileBasic commands into before I can build the interpreter.
Keep your hopes up, this is going well.
I will eventually have more commands working, and once I have enough I can build the interpreter itself which will read the commands
like SmileBasic reads them
(That is if you typed BGCLR 3 it would clear BGLAYER 3)
Sprite commands will be kind of last but they're coming.
I hope everyone is ready. I may add BGMUSIC because I have a dump now thanks to some people.
4D array support won't come yet I did too much of that.
Things to look foreward to
*Basic Sprites
*Variable and assignment declarations (eventually), although arrays are pretty much ready.
*BGVAR is already built in but functions to wrap it aren't yet. Keep waiting.
*BGLOAD and BGSAVE are coming next ->Target array. That is why I did arrays first. Rejoice! This will be easy (with arrays completed as data structures)
*Input. Although , it will take a different form than expected for temporary times.
Oh yes, BGPAGE and BGSCREEN are coming as well because now that I've implemented BG's it isn't so hard.
*Button command is coming. I will use an external text file so you can map the buttons to whatever you want on your keyboard.
*TouchScreen Input coming soon.
*BGSCREEN to define bg's to be drawn on bottom screen and not top will come.
*Loading of PNG's (in place of GRPS) is coming, all you'd have to then do is convert your PNG to a grp when exporting.
This won't be able to export your project to NATIVE SmileBasic code. But it will be able to *Run* native SmileBasic code.
**Not all commands will be supported but I really intend to support anything I can.
That's it for now! Phew.. what a fun night this was coding all this.
I'm still at it.. I ran into the dumbest bug. Nothing new to report sadly, the pace seems to be crashing down as I keep running into bugs.
Oh well, I made backups of the most stable version.
Should anything happen or my files get corrupt I can hope to god they can be re opened safely.
MOST of the program stack is complete.
It runs this now:
put("@loop") //This might happen after label parsing.. //put a color command in the stack put("COLOR #TRED, #TGREEN"); //put a locate in the stack put("locate(5, 9)") //put a print in the stack put("Print hello") //here we're going to try parsing the first loop put("goto @loop") //Call the Psub to create the label indexes find_labels() do if pc>program_stack_size locate(9,25) print_string( "END OF PROGRAM at " +str$(pc) ) frame_render() //render the frame including bg/sprite etc sync waitkey waitnokey end Endif parse_command(pc) frame_render() //render the frame including bg/sprite etc step_() //step the program stack sync cls rgb(0,0,0) loopI've done good. I still need to implement things like CLS and stuff, but the parsing is coming along. Print is parsed (but it needs further parsing down the road) Assignment operators just aren't coded in yet but you can use put now in the engine OUTSIDE Runtime to inject valid commands into the program stack It autoincrements the program stack size for you so you don't have to think about it. This will be a more than helpful debug tool. I have a loop that calls step()_ step starts from 1 to the end of the program stack YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!! if it finds a label like @mylabel and later a call like @gosub (not tested yet) it should essentially push something onto the program stack (the pc address to return to) and then when it finds return it should POP it off the stack and go back to the last pc address in the array (after the array is resized) so the stack array resizes dynamically to avoid having issues with the runtime. Uhm I think I've basically got the bare bones of the engine completed and it runs real code now. Hooray.
Cool!
Update
I decided to get to work on the variable and string stack (the single use variables and strings)
First, this happened:
After that things kind of went smoothly.
The variable stack isn't even working. It's behaving oddly.
I can't figure out why but I'm on it.
So I guess I'm adding normal variables now.
Parsing assignment of variables, strings, and arrays will be after this.
Math assignment of variables won't be ready for a while so INC and DEC will be implemented until the math stack is complete.
A run command will be implemented in the early release so that you can do something like run "C:/Myfile.txt"
and it will try to run it as if it's a SmileBasic exe.
No news yet on when that will be ready but probably a few more days as I have quite the free time chunks.
Spoiler
The image was edited to dramatize the issue.Update
Well, I've done it again. I took TinySB one step further and got the variable stack implemented.
Here this is using the function layer (not the interpreter layer) to demonstrate the variable stack works.
This means I can safely do variable assignment and address any variable on the stack safely.
Here's some interesting debug information about the programming running inside PlayBasic emulating SmileBasic.
I've made line segment correlations between the code and the debug window as well as the printed screen:
Why does this matter
So YAY variable assignment and declaration is now possible.
Spoiler
To make it simple think about what it would be like if you did something like: A=A+1 Without a decent variable stack or one that malfunctions, you'd end up with a whole bunch of the same variable called A But since the search is only ever linear, it would only ever set A to itself. A=A would be the result with a bad parser. What does a good parser make a difference in? Pretty much.. it makes programming possible. The math stack wouldn't even be possible without this. Unless you want to print out literal equations only.Just a sidenote:
Here's what it takes to make a basic style interpreter:
Pre-Constants
System Types
Support Functions (This will get even bigger !)
Sub-Layer Functions
Without all of the previous none of this would work or atleast a large portion of it would throw errors or do nothing
This is the crazyness I've been working towards for a while.

tfw you specifically put a cap on the code lengths before it scrolls and you totally did it wellWait whaaaat. Is it hard to view
Update
Alright, I have started on the math stack. Sort of.
It's a bit messy but it can get the inner most parenthesis recursively.
The next step is solving math within the parenthesis.
I'm not using tokens per say.. but this method is fairly interesting.
The way it works is we have a function called getchar which returns a single character in a target string based on it's location in the string.
Then, we have another function which checks that string against a single character to match it.
This match string function is going to be the most useful despite it's simplicity.
The function then loops, and starts with a starting pointer and ending pointer, as well as a variable called rightneeded.
Rightneeded keeps track of how many right parenthesis we need based on left parenthesis found.
The logic is quite intuitive but wouldn't be the most obvious solution to start with.
So what it does is, it has two nested loops.
The first nested loop finds the first occurence of the character "("
The next nested loop finds the first occurence of the ")" character.
While it is searching for the first occurence of the ")" character,
if it finds a "(" character then it will increase the variable rightneeded.
If it finds another ")" character than it will decrement the variable rightneeded.
Finally there is a nested if statement inside the main loop body
The nested if statement has two ifs, the first for if the ")" character is found.
Upon finding it, it also needs to seperately check if the rightneeded varaible is less than or equal to 0
If it is, we basically found a pair.
The reason we do it this way is so that we can recursively send the same string to the function (again!)
and get back the next location of the next set of outer most brackets.
Only thing is... it finds sets.
So for now the expression A=(5+1)
Would throw 3, 7
And display
"(5+1)"
as the found string.
this is infact exactly the functionality we need for the math stack.
It allows us to break down complex cases of bracket sets into simpler forms.
Also, we can deal with "(5+1)" NOW, and worry about the rest of the equasion later.
Which is exactly what we want.
We can later make a function that checks if there's any parenthesis left in the expression at all.
If there are, we can check for operands first and whether they occur before or after the parenthesis.
Basically we can assume that if something isn't an alphanumeric character, or an operand that it's a number.
That said, we can take our parenthesis string and in theory split it by it's operands into tokens.
this means we can actually tokenize the parenthesis string without worrying about the whole input string from the getgo.
We can then perform calculations on the tokens and return a replaced version of the input string.
Since I'm using recursion we can then assume that if you remove the parenthesis from the first set.
That the function will find the next set!
So we can make an iterative loop that gets the parenthesis strings, checks if there are any parenthesis left,
and then send the innermost calculations to the math stack.
This is the *easy* part.
But atleast this is a large chunk of the start of the issue.
Here's the code in PlayBasic that i've made which does this.
I'm going to for simplicity sake code the entire math stack outside the main TinySB project and then import the code in directly when it's ready.

Alright, so good news.
I've created a recursive function that uses the other recursive function to get what is within the brackets.
This can probably be used within another function to preserve the source string although I just need to replace the brackets
in the source string with null characters such as ""
Maybe, it's simpler than I thought and I just overcomplicated it in my head..
Recursion is really very powerful 0_0
Here's a screenshot of the progress, and somehow I'm doing this even though I don't even really fully understand the subject.
