4.0 Progress?

[Silverwind]

Oh, I see what you mean. That's a very strange equation indeed.

[Al Staffieri]

I'm hoping to be able to use more complex commands. I'll be working on improving the command parser soon, so we'll see how it goes.

I would like to see some real loops, like FOR or DO loops. That would add some cool functionality. Also, the ability to use the KeyDown$ variable all the time, not just in a key down block.

What do you mean? You can use that variable just like any other variable.

[Tireas Dragon]

I think he means he wants the keydown variable always accessible not just under the pretense of pressing a button. In other words he wants it so you don't have to use the ON KEYDOWN command.
Also you can do a FOR loop
x = 0
REPEAT 10
x = x + 1
'do cool stuff
END REPEAT

A feature that I would like is the ability to take out words from a string variable. Like
string$ = "look at the ball"
string$ = string$ - "at "
now: String$ = "look the ball"
Instead of
string$ = "look at the ball"
string1$ = Left$ string$ 4
string2$ = Right$ string$ 9
string$ = string1$ + string2$
now: String$ = "look the ball"

SC has those I think.

I'm not using SC I am using GM.

I just made 2 test posts and it's working fine. I know Mike is looking into upgrading the boards, so maybe he was doing something at the time. It's working now. The only problem I see is that you can't modify profiles. I'm trying to get Mike to fix that.

Then your email account is blocking it as spam.

[Tireas Dragon]

Actually it just came today finnaly.

So Al... how far away would you say GM 4 IS?

[Silverwind]

My guess is very far... away that is!

Seriously though, here's to the release of 4.0 being sooner than later. *toasts*

EDIT:

Wait... having read the syntax of your post properly, my sentence doesn't make sense. I thought you had asked how far along 4.0 was.
