Cmdwiz version 1.8 (link in first post) The " Does size matter? " release :mrgreen: This version contains NO new features or fixes.Instead it focuses on executable size. Even though it was never really a concern of mine, several people (including in this thread) have commented that they think the C...

Well well, a new version of GotoXY (v 1.1) ! I don't think I touched this code since 2016 :) The updated link is the same as in the first post (and shared with Cmdwiz). I was adding server mode to Cmdwiz, and then I figured I should do it for Gotoxy as well, for a great speed improvement (not rivali...

Cmdwiz version 1.7 (link in first post) Hopefully a slightly more exciting release than the previous one. What's new: 1. Server mode. It works similar to cmdgfx server mode, i.e. once the server is running, operations are sent to it using echo, e.g.: echo "cmdwiz: setwindowpos 100 100" . Server mod...

Eureka!:

Thanks, that looks pretty useful! I’ll have a go.

Actually much more useful than turning g.bat into ”batch only”, which was just a little exercise anyway

By the way, if you like Game of Life, check out 3d Cellular Automata, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQJ5aEsP6Fs It is basically just like Game Of Life, but extended to 3 dimensions (so 26 neighbours instead of 8 ), typically with a 3d cube representing each cell. That level of processing (...

Updated Mediafire link and above archive one more time, since I removed the use of tr.exe, so that the original g.bat now only relies on findstr and gawk.exe (while the ~50% slower g-jrepl.bat does not rely on gawk.exe at all) Aacini: I'd still be interested if you have some idea why your proposed s...

Not sure when, or even why, it started happening, but I noticed Listc had keys "bleeding through" when using it lately (for example, pressing Escape after bringing up the Help screen would exit not just the help screen but the entire program!).It also would affect pressing "y" e.g. after responding ...

Just before this topic disappears off the page, I just want to point to: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9662 The archive there includes a very fast GameOfLife implementation, running fullscreen with a pixel font. My assumption that I would get 100+ FPS for 1920x1080 for a native C...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/d61jdq0cot8a9ep/expr3.png?raw=1 Alright, not quite done... I decided to go full circle :mrgreen: With threading support, block expressions were getting fairly fast, but still... obviously you cannot get close to native code without using native code. So, I decided to add t...

Oh... actually Findstr is the perfect replacement for grep in this case :oops: :) While waiting for Aacini's updated version, I replaced the archives above and removed grep.exe. That means I have a (pure batch, kind of) working version now using only jrepl and findstr. Still also keeping the first v...

Looks like a promising approach Aacini,and thanks for taking the time! It's not running here though. First it created an empty folder file when running: g * I had to add :\ on line 20 so it looks like: (for /R %drive%:\ /D %%d in (\*) do echo %%d) > FoldersInDrive%Drive%.txt Then when running g.bat ...

Ahh, one of misol's hidden gems! :mrgreen: Seriously though, I use this script pretty much every day. It's great for quickly jumping between folders in command line (especially if Windows is scheduled to update its folder database once a day or so). As the title says (4 years ago!), I wanted to conv...

Updated to version 1.6 (link in first post) The "scaling issues" release... What's new: 1. All window operations now use and return unscaled display values . Again, as with getdisplaydim in v1.5, this is a (potentially) breaking change, but this is how I think Cmdwiz should actually behave. 2. New ...

Replaced archive one more time due to: 1. Fixed bugs in Cmdgfx in "mod" function, and negative wrapping. 2. Added 6 new expressions, removed 2 boring ones 3. Added a second texture, 'i' button now selects no texture or texture 1-2. 4. Upped the number of temporary storage variables to 10 (s0-s9) 5....

Replaced the archive because: 1. It wasn't writing the effect index in the title (which it does now) 2. Added support for using a background image in the expression, either for an image effect or as a texture. This has to be enabled with the 'i' key if using it for your own expressions. Also, even ...
