New
exercises |
 |
New
chapter 7 containing 3 exercises about classes and
inter bot communication (Remote control #4 to #6). |
|
CBOT
programming language |
|
The
overall documentation has been greatly improved. |
|
With
the new instruction "static" you can now
declare static variables in a class definition which
is particularly useful for inter bot communication. |
|
You
can use the new instruction "synchronized"
in class definitions to allow execution of a method
by only one bot at the same time. |
|
The
instruction "public" is now documented and
works correctly. |
|
With
the new instruction "private" you can protect
class members from being used from outside the class. |
|
New
instructions "file", "open", "close",
"writeln", "readln", "eof"
and "deletefile" for file operations. |
|
New
instructions for string manipulation "strlen",
"strleft", "strright", "strmid",
"strval", "strfind", "strupper"
and "strlower". |
|
Members
of the object class are now readonly. E.g. you can't
write anymore item.temperature=12. |
|
Built-in
CBOT Program editor |
|
The
buffer of the program editor can contain 20000 characters
instead of 10000. |
|
Ctrl
and Shift no more get "stuck" on certain
computers. |
|
Ctrl+A
selects the whole content of the the program editor. |
|
Miscelaneous |
|
When
an information exchange post is selected, the display
of the values it contains is updated in real time. |
|
goto
towards a ResearchCenter now always works. |
|
When
the background sound volume is set to zero the CD
tracks are no more played at all. |
|
In
the last mission on Terranova (Alien Queen), all ants
now move correctly. |
|
Two
new exercises (#3-9 and #6-3) with the new instruction
"send" and the information exchange post. |
|
The
astronaut can build an information exchange post. |
|
New
instructions "send", "testinfo",
"deleteinfo", "flatground" and
"abstime". |
|
New
member lifeTime in Object variables. |
|
Object.range
does not depend any more on the camera. |
|
User
levels can be installed easily in the "user\"
folder. Download
the PDF file which contains explanations on creating
user levels. Two
user levels are included in this patch. |
|
Type
"bool" is equivalent to "boolean". |
|
Several
small bug fixes in the CBOT programming language. |
|
The
"extern"
instruction is documented. |
|
Documentation
uses now the correct terms "EnergyCell",
"NuclearCell" and "GoalArea". |
|
The
default graphic mode doesn't use T&L (Transform
and Lightning) anymore which corrects certain problems
on ATI boards. |
|
Image
fading in and out works better with certain 3D boards. |
|
Help
on programming is now available in the exercices. |
|
Colobot
programs are automatically saved as soon as you quit
the editor. |
|
The
initial "nag" screens can be skipped by
pressing any key. |
