Addin Restart routine

[aapman55 Profile]

it works fine for me.

Hmm... for some reason my calc freezes when I exit the game, and I have to restart it with the reset button.

(calculator: modded fx9750)
What's wrong with APP_EnableRestart()?

I use APP_EnableRestart() on any fx-9xx0G, -GII and -GII-2 calculator without problems yet. What game is it, which flyingfisch refers to? What system resources does the game use? Heap, interrupts (grayscale?)....

Mine.
(Don't berate, it was my first game I made some time ago, so the code is a bit dirty...)
Matris

It uses direct keyboard access, no interrupts ("smulates" interruptts only) and writes to the display (MonochromeLib).

The heap you grab with

Code: Select all

pScreen = (char*)malloc(3072);

should be released on program exit.

If this loop

Code: Select all

while(!PRGM_GetKey(31) && mode != 3){...}

exits because of mode == 3, the timer 10 is not explicitly uninstalled. Normally the system takes care of this, but you never can tell.

BTW:

Code: Select all

drawbuffer(char *buffer)

seems to be time critical. If it would be based on integer movement, it could be nearly four times faster.

Thanks for the tips, I already realized some of these bugs but I forgot to upload the new version
Does this really solve the problem? I mean, on my calculator, the restart works - that's a bit ugly...

I checked your game on a fx-GII-2. It worked.
I checked your game on a fx-GII. I could reproduce the freeze.
Then I recompiled your code with the finalization

Code: Select all

Timer_Uninstall(6);
Timer_Uninstall(7);
Timer_Uninstall(10);
free(pScreen);
Disconnect();


where
Timer_Uninstall(10);
fixed the problem.

Oh! Thanks. I uploaded the new version.
