Line continuation character?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Line continuation character?

| Hi, Easy one! Does anyone know what the line continuation character is for Blitz3D? I searched the installed help files for 'continuation' but no joy. Cheers, LW. |
| ||
| I assume your looking for an ASCII code. Can i ask what this is for? |
| ||
You mean like this;Graphic3D 800, 600, 0, 2 : Setbuffer BackBuffer() If you mean this, the character is : semicolon |

| Hi, I didn't explain very well. Colon thing is interesting though, but what I mean is I have a line of code that is pretty long and using IDEal I can switch word wrap on to see the whole line, but I thought there was a char to split a line (anywhere along the line) to so can break up long lines of code to be more readable, for example... text 0,0,"Hello World" ...could be... text 0,0 < < ,"Hello World" Where '<' is the split character. Perhaps I'm thinking of another language ;-) Cheers, LW. |
| ||
| This was recently asked and Blitz3D does not have a line continuation character. It sucks but there you go! |
| ||
| hmmm... that would be an interesting addition to blitz 3d but I dont think it can do that in its current state... perhaps a less used symbol such as ~ could be the split character? |
| ||
| Ah well, no worries. Ta, LW. |
| ||
| or why not like this lol, that makes it.. kind of... shorter |
| ||
| In BlitzMax it's the _ that does this... But IIRC B3D doesn't have one. |
| ||
| At least you can have an infinite line, in Blitz3D u.u |
| ||
| Cheers folks. |
| ||
| At least you can have an infinite line, in Blitz3D u.u Eventually, when a line becomes extremely long, it will automatically start a new line. |
| ||
| Yeah that happened for me today actually! Luckily I managed to JUST get it squeexed in in the end :) Return Pi*(MajorAxis+MinorAxis)+((3*((MajorAxis-MinorAxis)/(MajorAxis+MinorAxis))^2)/(10+Sqr(4-(3*((MajorAxis-MinorAxis)/(MajorAxis+MinorAxis))^2)))) Sure, though, worst come to worst, it's always possible to split it up somehow. What would be better than a 'continuation character' would just be whitespace (bluespace?), but then I guess a lot of other things would break. |

It's nothing Malice, take a look at my particle creation function.Function ParticleNew.tPart( parent, sound$, x#, y#, z#, frame, spd#, spdVar#, spdChange#, rndSpdX#, rndSpdY#, rndSpdZ#, size#, sizeVar#, sizeChange#, sizeMax#, alpha#, alphaVar#, alphaChange#, weight#, weightVar#, rotMode%, rotVal#, horAlign%, R%, G%, B%, colorVar%, xStart#, yStart#, zStart#, xWidth#, yWidth#, zWidth#, shapeMode%, innerAngle#, outerAngle#, circularDegree#, lifeTime%, GroundHeight#, Elasticity#, MaxBounces%, pulseStr#, blendMode%, fadeRadius#, delayTime%, duration%, emissionRate% ) ;Here is the usage bubble.tPart = ParticleNew( camera\cam, "Media\sound\nefes.ogg", .5, -1, 1.5, 1, 0, 0, 0, .001, 0, .001, .1, .2, 0, 0.1, 1, 0, 0, -.2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 3360, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3000, 1000, 50 ) |

| wow mortiss... u seriously use that... haha I would just give up on remembering all of that |
| ||
| Well, I don't have to remember, I have a visual particle source generator. I design the particle and it generates the code. |
| ||
| In BlitzMax it's the _ that does this... But IIRC B3D doesn't have one. Its actually '..' in Blitzmax. Visual Studio uses _, or at least VB and C# (I think) do. |

If C# is anything like C/C++ then you don't need a special line break char/chars since all whitespace is stripped out by the preprocessor and statements have to be specifically terminated using the ; character. I often do things like:
my_amazing_func(
1,
"my god, it's full of stars!",
3,
x,y,z,
"noodles"
);
See, using ; as a terminator does have it's benefits. :) |
