This file is a textual log of changes by date prior to tracking the
|
||||
files in a public version control repository. This is for historical
|
||||
purposes only, and will no longer be updated.
|
||||
|

--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
2011-12-06
|
||||
Added PEEK and POKE shim for 230 (Hi-Res plotting page), to enable
|
||||
drawing on the back buffer for animations.
|
||||
|
||||
2011-04-20
|
||||
Re-added support for running under Windows Scripting Host and added
|
||||
Mozilla Rhino support too.
|
||||
|
||||
2011-04-16
|
||||
Total internal revamp: Now a compiler rather than interpreter. Source
|
||||
errors are reported by BASIC line number as well as source
|
||||
line/column.
|
||||
|
||||
Display defaults to 40 columns, emulates 80-column firmware more
|
||||
accurately. Character output (CHR$(), INVERSE, etc) tweaked to match
|
||||
Apple behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Files written via DOS now persist in your browser via Web Storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Floating point and integer overflows are caught rather than
|
||||
propagating infinities and NaNs.
|
||||
|
||||
DATA statements and INPUT entries parse more accurately as comma
|
||||
delimited, optionally-quoted strings. RE-ENTER? is shown on invalid
|
||||
INPUT (and can be trapped via ONERR)
|
||||
|
||||
Added HGR2 and page-flipping POKE shims, plus a few CALL shims for
|
||||
graphics. Hires graphics are now to a 280x192 bitmap, rather than
|
||||
trying to be sneaky with a 140x192 bitmap.
|
||||
|
||||
Error codes can be distinguished in ONERR via PEEK(222). Out-of-memory
|
||||
and stack-overflow conditions reported where possible (this is
|
||||
non-standard across browsers).
|
||||
|
||||
Tweaked samples that were dependent on language/environment quirks.
|
||||
|
||||
Updated code editor to (the much improved) CodeMirror 2.0. On parse
|
||||
errors, the cursor is moved to the offending line/character.
|
||||
|
||||
2011-01-29
|
||||
Fixed error handling issues, e.g. DOS errors w/ ONERR and syntax
|
||||
errors e.g. 10 INPUT PRINT
|
||||
|
||||
Added HSCRN(x,y) extension function.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix mouse-as-joystick to hit full range of 0...255.
|
||||
|
||||
2011-01-26
|
||||
No longer show paddles/joysticks automatically; rely on
|
||||
mouse-as-joystick primarily.
|
||||
|
||||
Use FlashCanvas for older IE versions, instead of excanvas, and switch
|
||||
to plotting hires pixels/lines directly rather than relying on canvas
|
||||
scaling and line drawing.
|
||||
|
||||
Added Gaussian Distribution 2D plot sample, by John Russ
|
||||
|
||||
2011-01-25
|
||||
Added compatibility shims for PEEK(78) and PEEK(79) for seeding the
|
||||
random number generator. On a real Apple these are incremented during
|
||||
the input polling loop and are a good source of entropy for seeding a
|
||||
random number generator. In this interpreter, they are simply
|
||||
generated by the JavaScript Math.random() function.
|
||||
|
||||
2010-11-21
|
||||
Added lexical highlighting in code editor via CodeMirror. Note that
|
||||
this only highlights tokens, it does not check statement or expression
|
||||
syntax. It will highlight invalid tokens and unsupported statements.
|
||||
|
||||
Mousing over the screen now updates paddle position - try the lo-res
|
||||
painting demo for an example.
|
||||
|
||||
Lots of internal code cleanup with hopefully no behavior changes.
|
||||
|
||||
2010-11-18
|
||||
Fix RETURN and POP from inside a FOR ... NEXT loop.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix TRACE and NOTRACE
|
||||
|
||||
2010-11-13
|
||||
Added SPEED= shim (does nothing)
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed SPC() and TAB()
|
||||
|
||||
Work around Chrome bug to show full error alert text.
|
||||
|
||||
2010-08-29
|
||||
Added "Echo to Printer" option to allow copy/paste of output
|
||||
|
||||
Big refactor of internals. Statement parsing and execution now
|
||||
separated. A library of statement functions are used for
|
||||
execution. Hopefully nothing broke - all unit tests still pass.
|
||||
|
||||
2010-05-04
|
||||
When run under cscript.exe, the program still blocks until the user
|
||||
presses Enter when a GET statement executes, but the entered
|
||||
characters are returned by subsequent GET statements.
|
||||
|
||||
Added Hello World Sine Wave sample by Jamie Beu.
|
||||
|
||||
2009-11-01
|
||||
Changes are now recorded in an Atom Feed.
|
||||
|
||||
2009-10-24
|
||||
Now licensed under the Apache 2.0 license
|
||||
|
||||
2009-10-15
|
||||
Fixed bug with POKE and negative addresses (introduced 2009-05-15, bleah)
|
||||
|
||||
2009-06-10
|
||||
Added Boy's Surface sample by Lukas Innig
|
||||
|
||||
2009-05-08
|
||||
Fixed running with cscript
|
||||
|
||||
Slight performance tweaks for IE c/o explicit sizing
|
||||
|
||||
2009-05-08
|
||||
Tracked down source of IE perf issues when drawing with paddles; when
|
||||
the thumb/stick moves, IE does a relayout/repaint of any content above
|
||||
the paddle in the HTML flow. If I delete the page header it's
|
||||
silky-smooth. Unfortunately, any text above the screen seems to make
|
||||
it fall off the deep end - so no fix yet without gutting the page.
|
||||
|
||||
Undid "Line breaks from PRINT now clear to the right edge" - doesn't
|
||||
repro on Apple. What was I thinking?
|
||||
|
||||
2009-05-06
|
||||
A bunch of performance tweaks based on IE8's JavaScript
|
||||
profiler. While they look good on paper, they mean diddly-squat to
|
||||
perceived performance. Don't precalc default variable values, avoid
|
||||
DOM changes that are no-ops, and (sigh) don't scan the whole screen
|
||||
looking for FLASH-styled cells - maintain a list instead so perf isn't
|
||||
impacted if there are none.
|
||||
|
||||
2009-05-01
|
||||
Expressions are now just-in-time compiled to JavaScript. Screen
|
||||
updates are the real bottleneck, though, so this isn't a big
|
||||
performance boost. Performance comparison (on my 1.73GHz machine) of
|
||||
the lores Mandelbrot set demo:
|
||||
|
||||
Google Chrome (V8 JavaScript compiler): 25% faster (21s vs. 27s)
|
||||
Firefox 3: 14% faster (64s vs. 73s) Internet Explorer 8: <1% faster
|
||||
(249s vs. 251s) So not a huge win except on faster execution
|
||||
engines. But this is just the first step... Fixed POKE 216,x shim to
|
||||
disable ONERR handler
|
||||
|
||||
2009-04-30
|
||||
Rejiggered internal value storage/passing system to use fundamental
|
||||
JavaScript types instead of {number: value} or {string: value}. I
|
||||
didn't trust JavaScript's type system when I first wrote this code.
|
||||
|
||||
2009-04-26
|
||||
Performance - made GOTO/GOSUB not do a linear scan to find the line
|
||||
(d'oh). Significant perf boost for IE.
|
||||
|
||||
Added Unit Tests sample. Coverage is not complete but it's getting
|
||||
there.
|
||||
|
||||
RND() with negative now consistently reseeds (added custom pseudoranom
|
||||
number generator)
|
||||
|
||||
FOR I = 10 TO 1 : PRINT I : NEXT now correctly prints 10 then finishes
|
||||
(was previously incorrectly inferring STEP -1)
|
||||
|
||||
2009-04-25
|
||||
Line breaks from PRINT now clear to the right edge of the text window
|
||||
|
||||
Automatically show input devices if PDL() called
|
||||
|
||||
Added Zhodani Relay Station Placement example (run after generating a
|
||||
sector with Traveller Sector Generator)
|
||||
|
||||
2009-04-24
|
||||
Fixed a bug where changing text mode (e.g. PR#3) after calling HGR
|
||||
would break split-screen mode.
|
||||
|
||||
2009-04-14
|
||||
Updated to an IE8-compatible version of excanvas. Updated my excanvas
|
||||
patch to support scaling.
|
||||
|
||||
2009-04-05
|
||||
Allow DEF FN to be invalid (errors occur in FN, per Applesoft)
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed PR#0 in Safari
|
||||
|
||||
Added RENAME old,new to DOS
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed LIST for assignment statements with no LET
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed operator spacing for LIST
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed parsing of empty REM statements
|
||||
|
||||
Program would execute after a tokenization error was encountered -
|
||||
fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
Added Traveller Sector Generator sample
|
||||
|
||||
2009-03-07
|
||||
Fixed cursor blinking
|
||||
|
||||
Added Connections, Puzzler, and Squiggle by Gregg Buntin
|
||||
|
||||
2009-03-06
|
||||
Addressed IE performance issues: sped up Text and LoRes screen
|
||||
initialization, don't use classes for characters (sigh).
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed PRINT SPC()
|
||||
|
||||
2009-03-05
|
||||
PRINT CHR$(7) now rings a BELL (if your browser has an audio/wav WAV
|
||||
handler configured)
|
||||
|
||||
Reimplemented the text display (TTY) using bitmap font, to mimic the
|
||||
look of 40/80 column text (no more copy/paste, alas)
|
||||
|
||||
Added MouseText support. INVERSE:PRINT CHR$(27);"XY";CHR$(24):NORMAL
|
||||
|
||||
The ASCII Pac-Man sample was really Unicode Pac-Man, which the bitmap
|
||||
font doesn't support, so it broke. So I cheated.
|
||||
|
||||
2009-03-01
|
||||
Added Scribble sample, by William Simms
|
||||
|
||||
2009-02-12

|
||||
|
||||
2008-10-19
|
||||
Added TEXT ADVENTURE sample by Floyd McWilliams.
|
||||
|
||||
Allow string literals to be terminated by end-of-line (suggested by
|
||||
Mike Kienenberger for compatibility)
|
||||
|
||||
2008-09-18
|
||||
Fixed a case where syntax errors were ignored
|
||||
|
||||
2008-09-17
|
||||
Fixed input focus to work in Google Chrome
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed READ to support multiple variables, e.g. READ I,J,S$
|
||||
|
||||
2008-08-23
|
||||
Added Save/Load buttons that let you save your work to a cookie
|
||||
|
||||
Added DRAWING PROGRAM sample by Brian Broker
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed power operator (^) which wasn't being parsed correctly
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed subtle bug with string comparisons (result was double-typed as
|
||||
number and string)
|
||||
|
||||
2008-05-01
|
||||
Fixed NEXT I,J,... to terminate multiple loops - thanks to Scott
|
||||
Alfter for pointing this out
|
||||
|
||||
Bowing to popular demand, it now supports ? as an alias for PRINT
|
||||
|
||||
2008-03-15
|
||||
Implemented ONERR GOTO line and RESUME, including POKE 216,0

||||
2008-03-14
|
||||
Code cleanup c/o jslint.com
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
some point.
|
||||
|
||||
2007-12-08
|
||||
Implement file writing (to client-side VFS only), including APPEND
|
||||
operations
|
||||
|
||||
Added DOS DELETE command
|
||||
|
||||
GR does implicit HTAB 1 : VTAB 24
|
||||
|
||||
PEEK(49168) has the same effect as POKE 49168,N
|
||||
|
||||
As a convenience, PEEK and POKE at 49200/-16336 (speaker toggle) now accepted, but a no-op
|
||||
|
||||
As a convenience, spaces now accepted before = forCOLOR= and HCOLOR=
|

2007-11-22
|

||||
2007-09-16
|
||||
Added full screen lores support via POKE 29234,0

Added paddle buttons: Home = 0 = Open Apple, End = 1 = Solid Apple,
|
||||
Page Up = 2, Page Down = 3
|
||||
|
||||
Added Caps Lock (defaults to on; real Caps Lock key toggles it; this
|
||||
means it usually ends up in an inverted state)
|
||||
|
||||
Round numerical results to 8 decimal places (hacky)
|
||||
|
||||
2007-09-10
