Writepixels broken in Visual Studio 2013

Monkey Forums/Monkey Bug Reports/Writepixels broken in Visual Studio 2013

Damon97(Posted 2014) [#1]
Hi, I get an error in the writepixels function when compiling under Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1 update 1.

It's always good to provide a runable code sample that shows the error when posting bug reports, so Mark can test it, confirm it, and fix it when possible.

I think that's the code that causes this bug to happen:

Import Mojo

Class Emulator8 Extends App
	Field Pixel:Image
	
	Method OnCreate()
		Pixel = CreateImage(10,15)
		Local Pixels:Int[150]
		For Local i:Int = 0 To 150-1
			Pixels[i] = $FFFFFFFF
		Next
		Pixel.WritePixels(Pixels,0,0,10,15)		
	End Method
	
	Method OnUpdate()

	End Method
	
	Method OnRender()
		Cls
		DrawImage Pixel,10,10
	End Method
End Class

Function Main()
	New Emulator8
End Function


And that's the original forum post: http://www.monkey-x.com/Community/posts.php?topic=8507

Ok, will have a look at this.

Quick question first though - how do I know if I have windows 8.1 'update 1' installed?

Using 'classic shell', This PC->Properties says I'm using 8.1 Pro, and that's it. I can't find another way to determine OS version without classic shell.

I ask because there's apparently a deadline beyond which if I haven't updated to 'update 1', I wont get any future updates at all - wow!

I believe if you go to "metro" tiles start menu and if you can see the Power and Search buttons in the top right you have it installed...

[edit] or is that just 8.1?

You should have the update KB 2919355

Ok cheers, I think I've got it - have power+search on my desktop win8 homepage, and search on my tabletish thing.

re: the bug - Monkey doesn't officially support msvc2013 yet, but I could recreate the bug on msvc2012 and have a fix for it ready to go. It should be up later today.

The delay in updating to msvc2013 is due to the fact I don't think it can create apps for windows 8.0 - only windows 8.1. Ditto msvc2013 for windows phone 8(.1).

Is this correct? And, more importantly I guess, when does this stop being important?

Thank you mark! And thanks ziggy for pointing me in the right direction! : )

Ok, just uploading v79c which should fix this - please let me know!
