Updated 1337 hacker rulz to version 7. Added `1337.mk` to contain the updated 1337 hacker rulz (v7). We use an optional include of `1337.mk` (or `../1337.mk`, or `../../1337.mk`) to include the 1337 hacker rulz. Changed `make deep_magic` to `make more_magic`. Changed `bin/tar-entry.sh` VERSION from "1.3.7 2024-07-22" to "1.3.8 2024-07-23". Changed `bin/tar-year.sh` VERSION from "1.2.5 2024-07-22" to "1.2.6 2024-07-23". Add `make new_entry` to `YYYY/Makefile` and `template/Makefile.year`. Change `make new_year` to use `sort -n -u`. Made minor debug message fixes to `bin/new-year.sh`. Changed `bin/new-year.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-07-23" to "1.3.1 2024-07-23". Improved `bin/add-dir.sh` to update `YYYY/Makefile` with the new entry directory name. Changed `bin/add-dir.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-07-21" to "1.1 2024-07-23". Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
To build:
make all
To use:
./dds
Try:
Give the following lines as input:
OLD LANDER.BAS
RUN
NOTE: this entry is probably one of the only times CAPS LOCK might be worth having (though still not useful enough to enable :-) ) as all input has to be UPPER CASE.
Judges' remarks:
Be sure not to run out of fuel!
Author's remarks:
This is the DDS-BASIC Interpreter (Version 1.00).
Immediate commands:
- RUN
- LIST
- NEW
- OLD filename
- BYE
- SAVE filename
Program commands:
- variable names a to z
- variables initialized to 0 on RUN
- FOR var = exp TO exp
- NEXT variable
- GOSUB exp
- RETURN
- GOTO exp
- IF exp THEN exp
- INPUT variable
- PRINT string
- PRINT exp
- var = exp
- REM any text
- END
Expressions (ranked by precedence):
- Bracketed expressions
- number (leading 0 for octal, 0x for hex, else decimal), variable
- Unary -
*/+-=<>><<=>=
(* and + are also used for boolean AND and boolean OR)
Boolean expressions evaluate to 0 for false and 1 for true.
Editing:
- Line editor using line re-entry.
- A line number with nothing following it, deletes the line.
Input format:
- Free format positioning of tokens on the line.
- No space is allowed before the line number.
- Exactly one space is needed between the OLD or SAVE command and the filename.
- ALL INPUT MUST BE UPPERCASE.
Limits:
- Line numbers 1-10000
- Line length 999 characters
- FOR nesting 26
- GOSUB 999 levels
- Program Dynamically allocated
- Expressions -32768 - 32767 for 16 bit machines, -2147483648 - 2147483647 for 32 bit machines
Error checking / error reports:
No error checking is performed. It might dump core if a syntax or semantic error is encountered.
Hosting Environment:
ANSI C, traditional K&R C or OSF ANDF ASCII or EBCIDIC character set 48K bytes memory.
The Speed of DDS-BASIC Interpreter (Version 1.00) relative to Microsoft Advanced BASIC 3.31 is approximately 60%.
The code size could be further reduced by doing ugly things like not declaring
the return type of functions, not freeing memory, defining define, and joining
lines. In its present 1536 character form the program is reasonably portable
(it may fail to run in a tagged object architecture) and nicely formatted (it
fits in an 80*25 screen).
