Zip plugin doesn't create a new file on MorphOS

Zip plugin's OpenArchive() doesn't create a new file if it doesn't exists already. It fails with "Error opening zip archive ram:test.zip!". Happens on MorphOS, but apparently it does work on some other platforms... haven't tested on any other now. A work-around is to create an empty file b...

Re: Extract file content into string without creating a flie

But when extracting the file it does not work to extract it into the virtualfile by using secretfile2$. When using the actual filename the physical file will be created and the secret data is exposed. Is there a way to extract the encrypted file content into strings without creating an unencrypted ...

Re: How to tell if a file is a valid sqlite database?

@ NathanH Here is some code I use to check a SQL file. Sorry about nitpicking your code, but I think you should use some Local variables and not expose all variables from functions to Global :) For example, the p_GetDB() function could rather look like this: Function p_GetDB() Local Record = 0 Loca...

Re: Safe to Return from Repeat-Until?

Yes, it's safe. Return finishes the function call and never returns to it. Maybe it would be better for code readability to have Return at the end of the function and exit from the loop with Break, but it shouldn't do any harm to do otherwise either. Here's what Lua documentation tells: https://www....

Re: Amiga Platforms

Wiki is old Which Wiki do you mean? MorphOS Library wiki should be up-to-date, or can you tell what wouldn't be there? This is an Ibook g4, which seems it should work regardless(?) As the previous wiki tells, "all G4 iBooks" are supported. Looks like I got my hands on an Imac G5, Yay!!! :...

Re: Grid Movement

I would keep the game logic as single unit grid (1x1 pixels basically), then you can have a simple table that contains what's on every block in the game and make calculations with in (when you implement more complex stuff like finding paths etc.). Movement or checking what's on the next block would ...

Practixally only morphos is the cost :-)
Or half of the cost, because MorphOS costs 79 euros :)

I've got my dozen of MorphOS compatble computers for 40-100 euros each.
