Andreas 17-Jul-2012 [231x4] | Similarly for R3 (although that is less comprehensive): http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/functions.html |
For both, R2 and R3, you can use HELP on a console to get a listing of all global values of a certain type. So to see all functions, try >> HELP function! | |
And if you want to type less, `? function!` is enough. | |
And `ANY-FUNCTION!` should be a typeset of all function-like types. Esp. native!, action! and op! are usefull for discovering "all available commands". | |
MaxV 18-Jul-2012 [235x2] | It's not so simple. |
There a a lot of function undocumented. For example about VID a lot of documentation is missing, but VID is one the most important feature of Rebol. Similar for parse... and so on. Do you know that you can use "of" for radio buttons? | |
BrianH 18-Jul-2012 [237] | Yeah, dialect docs are sparse, and you can't rely on HELP. |
Pekr 18-Jul-2012 [238] | that's why I suggested to extend help by /any /dialect, whatever, to reflect dialect help ... |
BrianH 18-Jul-2012 [239] | Others can chime in about the VID, but there are some pretty good tutorials about the parse dialect. Plus, you might look into the parse enhancement project page, which ended up with a lot of discussion of the semantic model, and in many cases the behavior of existing operations. |
MaxV 18-Jul-2012 [240x2] | Where are all these tutorial? The problem is reaching tutorial pages. It''s all spread around the world, without an index. |
Look at this pages http://www.maxvessi.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.GuidaARebol http://rebol2.blogspot.comhttp://http://www.maxvessi.net/rebsite/wr/ I try to unify all documentation, but it's missing a central index. | |
BrianH 18-Jul-2012 [242x2] | Someone else will have to provide the tutorial links. The parse project is here: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Parse_Projec |
Sorry, http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Parse_Project | |
Henrik 18-Jul-2012 [244] | MaxV, this document is for the VID Extension Kit, but it covers parts of how VID works as well: http://hmkdesign.dk/project.rsp?id=vid-ext-kit&page=docs§ion=developer&name=vid-extension-kit-internals.txt |
GiuseppeC 18-Jul-2012 [245] | Sarcastic mode one: REBOL3 Open Source ? It will take 1 year for carl to complete the licence. Sarcastic mode off: hope the project will see the light of the day by the end of summer. |
Gregg 18-Jul-2012 [246] | Max, yes, docs for VID (beyond the basics) have always been lacking. It took me a long time to find OF for grouping as well. Part of the issue is the design of VID itself, where you need to know internals, and there isn't a documented public interface for styles. |
Arnold 18-Jul-2012 [247] | MaxV: radiobuttons are best used with true and false in stead of on and of like in some documentation mentioned. The true and false I just tried out of frustration and I discovered it worked. Undocumented. Same with the block after a text or label to make the label clickable like a button. VID has an effect and a draw that could be better documented. |
Kaj 18-Jul-2012 [248] | When bound, ON and OFF are the same as TRUE and FALSE |
Arnold 18-Jul-2012 [249x2] | At the surface it looked like it. But I needed the true and false variant. Other was simply not working in my mirror game. |
Sometimes I could check more than 1 radiobox, although I grouped them, and I had to initialize the values to true and false myself to use these in my statements. Using true and false solved it. | |
Kaj 18-Jul-2012 [251] | It may be a binding problem, then |
GrahamC 18-Jul-2012 [252] | We're supposed to be hearing about the license for the R3 source this week ... no updates yet I guess |
Janko 23-Jul-2012 [253] | Marco (about RebRap): how do you render 3d scene in rebol and how do you controll the printer thru rebol, via some DLL? |
Arnold 25-Jul-2012 [254] | Looks great Max, maybe all the docs make for a large script/download? The syntax highlighting, yes,the syntax file for UltraEdit is here for inspiration: http://www.ultraedit.com/files/wf/rebol.uew |
Endo 26-Jul-2012 [255] | I've an issue with RebolIDE, I get "Script Error: Face object reused (in more than one pane): Example..." Here is the steps to reproduce: open shape document from help menu, click on an example (opens a new window), close the example window and the document window, then click on help menu. Great work by the way, I especially like the documents. |
MaxV 26-Jul-2012 [256] | @ ENDO: I think that error is something related to RebGUI . However it's no so easy to create. If you have suggestions to eliminate it, I'm here. @Arnold: there is a rebol editor with syntax hilghting, it's http://trac.assembla.com/shadwolforge/wiki , I think to incorporete it someway. |
Endo 26-Jul-2012 [257] | Nope, I don't think it is related to RebGUI (or it is indirectly). The wierd thing is, it happens just in this case: Run RebolIDE, Help -> Shape -> Execute the LAST example, Close windows, click on Help ---> Error. If you open some other documents first, or run another example in Shape document, or do anything else, then this error doesn't appear anymore. |
MaxV 26-Jul-2012 [258] | Probably there are so much nameless widget that RebGui loose control and mistake the blocks. If you find a solution, let me know. |
Arnold 26-Jul-2012 [259x3] | JEdit also has syntax highlighting for REBOL, but starting Java VM takes forever (more than 10 seconds that is). |
Get the error too, just downloaded 10 minutes ago. ** Script Error: Face object reused (in more than one pane): Binds words to a specified context ** Where: set-focus ** Near: show face After closing the help core | |
Cool that all downloads worked flawlesly (RebGUI and the docs.) | |
Endo 27-Jul-2012 [262x2] | MaxV: interesting but now error is gone. same pc, same steps, no error. |
Oh it is now in VID section, "alert" function. | |
MaxV 27-Jul-2012 [264] | I said you, too many nameless faces. It's something related to RebGUI. Rebol can't understand if a face block is new or the same already used. If VID had tab panel, I' would use only VID. |
Arnold 27-Jul-2012 [265] | I have all the images from the docs from REBOL-IDE cluttering my scripts folder now. Is it possible to use a seperate map for these? Please? |
MaxV 30-Jul-2012 [266x2] | OK, ath the moment you can move the rebolIDE script to an empty folder, next version will use a seprate folder for all Rebolide files. Is it ok for you? |
Geomol, you are great! | |
PeterWood 30-Jul-2012 [268] | Stunt Ace looks great John. Hope it sells well. |
Geomol 30-Jul-2012 [269] | Thanks, guys! |
james_nak 30-Jul-2012 [270] | Geomol, great accomplishment. What language did you use ultimately for the game? |
Geomol 31-Jul-2012 [271] | Java. Being this type of game, it's not too object oriented, so we use Java features like direct reference to static variables in classes for things like assets. "We" is myself for the most part and my nephew, who has more experience with Java than me, so he could give some guidance. |
james_nak 31-Jul-2012 [272] | Ah, java. thanks. |
Gregg 1-Aug-2012 [273] | Congratulations to both John and Robert! |
Marco 1-Aug-2012 [274] | @Janko: rendering of 3d scene is similar to code in opengl.r found in rebol.org, and to control the printer I simpy send ascii gcode throu serial port. |
Gregg 2-Aug-2012 [275] | I haven't reviewed your CGI stuff yet Arnold, but it looks useful. Thanks for posting it. |
Endo 5-Aug-2012 [276] | Red Compiler: Nice work Arnold. Quick feedback: Need error handing (compiler not found etc.), config file to remember previous settings. |
Arnold 5-Aug-2012 [277x2] | Endo, preferences should be preferences not just last time settings imho those could be some quick test experiments. But preferences, indeed preferences is what I missed while testing this bugger. Prefs filename something like app-name.preferences.ini? When prefenced start dir is set via preferences probably the rsc.r script will always be found? But testing for existance is more robust, so I agree definitely. Maybe in time there will be a completely different way to compile Red or other changes needed to keep this script actual and useable, so I invite everyone interested to feel free to add and sculpt this script! |
The main issue I have with this script is this. My script did not compile. I used 'now in my script to time a kind of loop foreach versus forall and this failed. The control was not passed back to my script, I just compiled hello.reds script and this was successful and my script got the focus again. So that is nice but with unsuccessfull build it woul be nice to gather results and maybe restart compiling with different setting (for verbose for example). I have no idea how to do this. | |
Pekr 7-Aug-2012 [279] | Doc - that's perfect? Where did you dig the code from? :-) Something old, or new creation related to your R2 latest project/contract? :-) |
DocKimbel 7-Aug-2012 [280] | 4 years old code that I wrote for a customer app. I've already published it in REBOL3 world (there was a dedicated group), but I guess that Github is the right place, so others can improve it. |
