tastes are different there are enough types of assemblers out there for everyone, kickass is amongst the best, and I respect slammer for it. compilers are amongst the most complex things one may code. |

Groepas: I actually agreed with you, that some of your request would be nice to have and put them on the todo list. But since they didn't get implemented at once you got very aggressive and insulting. Do you actually expect people to hurry up using their spare time to implement the features you want, after you insult them? I thinks that your behaviour against me and several other people here on csdb speaks for it self. You really owe a lot of people an apology. |

now, now, boys. no need to get all frisky ;)
I like kickass a lot, and it would be even better if the suggested changes got implemented (like incbin). |

Burglar: Incbin is one of the things that is on the todolist. Meanwhile check this thread for how to define a macro in 4 lines that can do the exact same thing : Need a coder |

I couldnt find a better topic to post this in, but I've got a naming challenge for macros with Kick.
If I use one of the macro's of Codebase, or write one myself, I would like to use the filename of this macro to name the memory area properly in the Memory map output of Kick. But whatever I seem to do, I cannot attach the filename to be part of the name of the memory area.
There's probably a way to do it but I cant find it in documentation, this form or anywhere.
The macro might look something like (pseudocode):
.macro MacroName (filename, address) {
.pc = address "Tables"
}
I would like to add the filename as send to the macro the the memory name (MyName) so it would be something like "Tables "+filename but i keep getting errors.
What is the proper way to use one of the variables send to the macro as part of the memory area name ? |

@Lead: I've previously failed numerous attempts of doing the same thing. My conclusion is that the .pc directive can *only* take a string and not an expression as an argument for the name.
If you're reading this Slammer, +1 for supporting this :-) |

Yes I'm afraid so aswell, hope Slammer sees, support for variable names would be awesome for those that want to keep an organized eye on the memory map.
I was afraid the way I subscribe was not beeing understood by people as there was little reply. I will try to explain a bit more accurate so people know what I mean for sure ;)
Here's some coding, this is not a function I created to use in production but more as a test :
.macro getFile(fileName, loadAdr) {
.pc = loadAdr "Image"
.var picture = LoadPicture(fileName, List().add($444444, $6c6c6c,$959595,$000000))
.fill $800, picture.getMulticolorByte(i>>7,i&$7f)
}
use with :getFile("image.png", $2000)
This will correctly load a file to memory at $2000 and will show up in memorymap like this when you have more images :
Memory Map
----------
$0801-$080c Basic
$0900-$0910 Main Code
$2000-$27ff Image
$2800-$2fff Image
$3000-$37ff Image
That's where I want to keep my namings in order ;) |

Hi, I do check this thread, so any questions asked will be answered eventually. Also, I wanna stay a bit in the background to give other users room for stating their views and experiences.
In the case of the PC directive, you are right, the .pc directive only takes a string, not an expression. I don't think it will be a big deal to change so I'll see what I can do. |

Hi Slammer thanks for confirming, I understand and think you do the right thing with staying a bit in the background so others can share their thoughs aswell.
In this case though it seems that there are very little people the came across this iussue or had anything to say about it (other than Ruk). You're right on the fact that eventually stuff gets answered in this thread... I've been reading this one all the way. there's some good stuff hidden below ;) |

Lead: Its always cool to know how other people does things, and with discussions in the KickAss-facebook group and by mail together with doing a bit of demo stuff and some other projects its hard to get time to code new features for Kick Assembler. That why i really want to encourage people to help answering questions.
Btw. The official 'Kick Assembler Wish List' is in the facebook group. Feel free to drop by and enter your wishes. |
