Mutiny Community version 3.0 Dev notes * Mutant Basic has been integrated into the file system, there may be some issues still to work out but I feel it's stable enough to release it and see what happens. * The file system now contains a SQL engine as well to go along side Mutant Basic, even though you can do whatever SQL you might want to do in Mutant Basic it's convenient to have a command line interpreter for SQL outside of basic as well. * Reformatted the channels list to put unread message count before the channel name. the command /files can be used in place of /text to get to the file system, the prompt was changed from [TEXTS] to [FILES] since there are now more than just text files. To launch Mutant Basic and start programming, first you may want to have the Programmer's reference guide up which is available from the web site mutinybbs.com Then go into your file area and do "edit myprog.bas" where "myprog" is whatever name you want. As long as the file extension is ".bas" it'll launch Mutant Basic and you can start coding. Of course you can use the "run" command within Mutant Basic to run your program but if you want to run it from the file system, or if you want to run someone else's program you can either just enter the filename or number, or type "run myprog" or "run myprog.bas" Accessing the SQL engine is very similar except that the file extension must be .db So if you type "edit mydata.db" then you'll end up in the SQL command interpreter which will be reading/writing data to that file. The same collaboration (contrib/uncontrib) commands/rules apply to bas and db files. As far as "type"ing out one of these files, db files can't be typed out, .bas files can be typed out unless you ended the description of the file with "(protect)", this is because some games it might be possible to cheat at if the source code is visible. Any issues, let me know. Oh yeah one more thing, if you're programming and you run your program and it gets stuck in an infinite loop you should be able to break out by pressing escape or ctrl+c Also for now all Basic programs are limited to a 1 hour run-time just in-case things go haywire. .
