Cobra Demo Released

[mike_g]

Just incase any of you guys dident know, demo for the Cobra programming language is available.

I am having a poke about with it at the moment and thought I'd mention it. Link Here

Cheers Mike Please let us know how you get on with it. A Cobra section for the board is a possibility if there are enough people here using it.

I have been dabbling with it. But am getting division by zero errors.

Thanks and cheers Mike_G for the news of the demo.

To be honest I havent got much further than "Hello World" myself. I like the IDE and some of the samples but so far I havent found the language too intuative. I probably just need to get used to it a bit first. I was going to have a go at making a simple game for a compo but that sites gone down for the moment

Thanks and cheers Mike_G for the news of the demo.

Then don't divide by 0 

Kidding show us an example Clyde.

I can help with that You get a divide by zero error when you try to divide an integer by 0.

Better?

@Wham: There's a little something in the General Code + Techniques bruv.
@Shock: Cheers.

What is slightly lacking is content in the help ( maybe this is as it's a demo version ), as I'm unfamilar with alot of the commands.

None the less, Top trumps for releasing a demo version.

@Clyde : In your cobra star prog 

the StarX[a] = Rand(-30000,30000) will at some point evaluate to 0  and  TX=( StarX[ a ] / StarZ[ a ])+( XRES2 ) will therefore be divided by zero at some point .I think that's where your problem is

[Stonemonkey]

I think it's the division by StarZ[a] , make it reset the values if StarZ[a]<=0 as well as the points going offscreen.

EDIT: <=0

[Clyde]

Thanks all.
As a make shift fix, I used this in the code:

Code: [Select]

If Starz[ a ]>1 Then   
     
            TX=( StarX[ a ] / StarZ[ a ])+( XRES2 )
            TY=( StarY[ a ] / StarZ[ a ])+( YRES2 )
