Thanks - apart from reminding of my days of typing in ZX81 programs
from magazine listings and then trying to save space (defining
variables from text values, I seem to recall was one method) you
have inspired me to fire up my copy of QL2K and try your listing
out. I had to use an editor to strip out the CR characters as you
suggest and then QLAYT.EXE to link the file into my win1_
directory.
It mostly works until density% becomes 5 at which point it fails at
line 310 with "bad parameter", presumably because it is trying to
do a RND(1 to 0).
Any suggestions?
Well spotted!
(snip)
Should work with changing that line to 310 IF RND(1 TO 6-density%)=1
THEN
which should make sure it gives a snow density of 1 to 5, whichis
what I'd intended.
Just tried it on QemuLator and that seems to work.
I suppose next step is to make the snow get plotted with OVER -1 so
that the XOR effect could work over a background picture.
Just noticed as well how much QemuLator slows down while I'm typing
this email - the snowfall has become, well, almost standstill snow!
Dare I say " that's snow good" ;o)
