C-Style Switch

[Charles Pegge]

Two new keywords to support this feature: switch and break

Code: [Select]


  '==============
  'C STYLE SWITCH
  '==============

  for i=0 to 4

  switch i

    case 0
    case 1
    case 2
      print "A"
      break
    case 4
      print "B"
      break
    case else
    print "C"

  end switch

  next

  'RESULTS: 0:A  1:A  2:A  3:C  4:B

Hi Charles,

Do we have no longer  "SELECT CASE"  ?

Here is another case, which makes me headache.   

Code: [Select]

/* OxygenBasic version  o34 */

Long a=10,b=10,size,j
size = a*a*2

Dim Alpha(size) As Long   '<- What ??
For j=0 To size
Alpha(j)=255
Next

Print Alpha(10)

Hi Peter,

Switch and break are extras to aid porting C programs into Oxygen .

Standard Arrays have a fixed memory allocation at compile time so must be sized with a constant, not a variable. There are several ways of creating dynamic arrays. If you need them I can show you the best way depending on the needs of the program.

Code: [Select]


Long j

% a 10
% b 10
% size a*b*2


Dim Alpha(size) As Long

indexbase 0

For j=0 To size
Alpha(j)=255
Next

Print Alpha(10)

Thanks Charles.

There are two thing ,which I find important for me.
How can I rotate an object to its centre point ?  OpenGl is in a 2D mode.

I got always 60 Frames , Why ?  I mean, Opengl is hardware!
Are "single's" so slow in OxygenBasic ?  Is there a horsefly ?

Peter,

I would rotate individual objects about their z axis, assuming your 2D objects are defined in x y coordinates.


  glpushmatrix
  glTranslatef tra_x, tra_y, tra_z
  glRotatef rot_z, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 'apply self rotation after any translation
 'plot object..
 glpopmatrix


I think the OS may be restricting your frame rate - this behaviour will not be the same on all platforms.

Check your opengl settings for your video card Peter. Vertical Sync is probably check marked on and it limits it to around 60 frames per second.
In my case it is in advanced 3d settings for my nvidia card.

Thanks Charles, K9

I forgot that we have for our graphics card 3D settings .
My frame rates are now 500! For the beginning quite good.

My graphics card is an old relict by Nvidia. If I become 60 years old then will my wife buy a newer card for me. She is so nice to me !
