MightyPork’s Power Craft v3.4.8 [1.3.1]

==== 3.4.8 ====

- source code is now packed with the binaries, so if someone feels like updating it to 1.3,

he can. Otherwise it can taker over a month.### FIXES ###

- fixed many bad things in weasel

- unconnecting devices from weasel network now works properly

- fixed glitch when you could crash the game by placing light inside the iron ledge block.

- corrected some redstone updates

- Weasel’s interrupt calls (update, termIn, touchEvent) are no longer interruptible.

instead the calls are queued, so nothing is lost nor broken

- fixed bugs where some messing with guis resulted in NullPointers and other cute things

- corrected many minor mistakes and bugs

- reworked image manipulation library and image storage format. This means that old image

disks need to be formatted if you want to use them again.### WRITABLE DISKS ###

All kinds of disks are now writable by program

For all of these, instead of ???.name, you can use driveName.SLOTtext disks:

(plain text disk)

use variable text.name, also you can assign it.

note: it works as variable, eg. getfirst(text.mytxt, 10) will give you first 10 chars

lists: have now functions

(these are lists with numeric indexes)

list.name.set(index, value)

list.name.remove(index)

list.name.add(value)

list.name.clear()

data disk:

(new type, holds variables and can work as dictionary)

map.name.get(“variable_name”)

map.name.set(“variable_name”, value)

map.name.clear()

map.name.has(“variable_name”)

image disk:

all things that work for touchscreen, with img.name

img.name.clear()

img.name = “red”; (or 0xff0000, or color(…)) – set all pixels to color

img.resize(w,h) – this also erases the disk.

### NEW IMAGE FUNCTIONS ###

(for image disks, add img.name. before the func name, for touchscreen touchscreenName.)

rect(x1,y1,x2,y2,color)

rect(x1,y1,x2,y2,color, borderColor)

frame(x1,y1,x2,y2,color) – only frame, dont touch the inside

ellipse(x, y, w, h, color)

- x,y is left top of the rect the ellipse is drawn into

fill(x,y,color)

- fill the area from coords, with color.

- sorry DarkHog, but your recursive code didn’t work well, now it’s done using a loop and Stack.

clear() – set all pizels to -1

resize(w,h) – clear and resize, but works only for disks, not for TS.

THOUCHSCREEN:

name.toDisk(“myDisk”);

- if there is a disk with given name, save to it the whole screen (resize if needed)

name.fromDisk(“myDisk”);

- if there is a disk with this name, clear screen and draw this disk from top-left corner.

- if used smartly you can make double-buffering with these functions, animations, window system

and many more cool things.

### New features in the DIGITAL WORKBENCH ###

- it was completely reworked, now the inventory shows only on the front page.

- added icon button for “back”, because its smaller

- you can edit data disks

- added gui for libraries

- obviously library don’t have the highlitings you get in Weasel Controller,

because the functions and variables aren’t known to the library compiler;

but it is not a problem, it compiles all right.

- se below for info about LIBS.

- images up to 260×130, but they cause a bit of lag, please use the smallest size you need.

- much better zoom range (more room == more zoom)

- new color picker indicator

- ** KEY CONTOLS ** !

- hold L & drag to draw line

- press F and click to fill (bucket)

- hold R & drag to draw rectangle

- hold B & drag to draw border = frame

- hold C & drag to draw circle (or ellipse)

- right click is always color -1 = invisible. It works also with fill and others.

- CTRL or SHIFT while clicking is Color Picking – get color from pixels.

### LIBRARY DISKS ###

- work in Weasel Controller (put them into a drive)

- work in Miner

- library disk is linked to the weasel program when you build it (check&launch)

- once the program is compiled, the disk is not needed, and changing it has no

effect until you rebuild the program. This is for technical reasons, it isn’t that

I want to make it harder.

- only functions from library disks are accessible, “main flow” will never run

- disks are added from all connected drivers, and their labels have

no effect; you can prefix your functions as you wish – or not at all.

- it is useful if you’re making a mining library to for example name all functions

mlib.something… or m.something, because if you then want to combine multiple library

disks, you will be sure you don’t get a name conflict.

- if there are more functions of the same name in your program, it is not

a problem, but only the 1st will work.

- when making universal library, keep in mind that names of the peripherals may vary

- use get(“name”) and set(“name”, value) – or set(“name”, value, isGlobal),

and call(“name”, args…) if you need. This lets you get gadget name as string argument.

- this of course does not apply to miners, miners are all equivalent and the libraries

are always 100% universal

==== 3.4.7 ====

* Miners now use Weasel

* more than 100 weasel functions

* all will be documented in a separate miner guide asap.
