LostUser	Created : 19 May 2008 System : Windows Language : Blitz Debug Replacement DebugLog() Replacement
; Debug Replacement Notes ; ----------------------- ; One of the things that annoys me about Blitz Basic 2D is ; that the in-built DebugLog() function outputs to a tabbed ; window, and its not very usable. ; ; So, I coded this solution based upon Rob Farley's "Debug Onscreen Text thingy" (url given below). ; ; It will display the debug entries in your viewing/output ; screen in the top-left hand side, output to the ; DebugLog(), and allow you to seperate phrases using "\|" ; and allow you to write directly to a "log.txt" file. ; ; Note: Ideally this would append messages to any existing ; 'log.txt' file, at the moment it just overwrites any ; existing 'log.txt' file. ; ; See examples for more info. --v ;#################################################################### ;# ;# Debug Replacement for Blitz Basic 2D ;# v0.1b ;# @updated: 19 May 2008 ;# @author: zardon ;# ;# Based upon: ;# "Debug Onscreen Text thingy" by Rob Farley ;# URL: https://blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1337 ;# ;#################################################################### Const debugfile$ = "log.txt" ;-------------------------------------------------------------------- Type t_debug Field txt$ End Type ;-------------------------------------------------------------------- ;random variable assignment animal$ = "fox" ; just a normal debug entry debug("Animal:" + animal$ ) ; this uses the '\|' seperator (must have no whitespace post seperator) debug( "Graphcis Width: " + GraphicsWidth() +"\|Graphics Height:"+ GraphicsHeight() + "\|Graphics Depth: " + GraphicsDepth() + "\|GraphicsBuffer: " + GraphicsBuffer() ) ; output all debug debug( "", True ) ; write my debug log file debug( "", False, True ) ; cleanup debug debug_cleanup() ;-------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; debug() function ; creates a new debug item, ; creates a visual output, ; creates a logfile ; @parameters; ; txt$ (string) = the text to add to the debug ; output$ (boolean) = whether to output to the screen ; mkfile (boolean) = whether to write a log file to the current directory ; @return; ; (boolean) Function debug(txt$="", output=False, mkfile=False) If (txt$<>"") Then ; Handle Seperators If Right(txt,1) <> "\|" Then txt$ = txt$ + "\|" ty=0 Repeat tx=Instr(txt$,"\|") If tx>0 Then outputLeft$ = Left(txt$,tx-1) outputRight$ = Right(txt$,Len(txt$)-tx) ; create a new debug object debug_new( outputLeft$ ) txt$ = outputRight$ EndIf Until tx = 0 End If If (output = True) Then debug_echo() End If If (mkfile = True) Then debug_writelog() End If Return True End Function ;-------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; debug new() function ; adds a new debug item ; @parameters; ; txt$ (string) = the text to add to the debug ; @return; ; (boolean) ; Function debug_new(txt$) p.t_debug = New t_debug p\txt$ = txt$ DebugLog( txt$ ) Return True End Function ;-------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; debug output() function ; outputs the debug to the screen ; ; @parameters; ; none ; @return; ; (boolean) ; Function debug_echo() Local y=1 For p.t_debug = Each t_debug Text 1, y, p\txt$ y=y+FontHeight() Next Return True End Function ;-------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; debug writelog() function ; dumps the contents of the debug type to a .txt file ; ; NOTE: This will OVERWRITE any entries in a 'log.txt' file!!! ; ; @parameters; ; none ; @return; ; (boolean) true ; ; Ideally a log file should search for an existing log file ; and append to it. ; Function debug_writelog() Local path$ = CurrentDir$() fileout = WriteFile(path$ + debugfile$) For p.t_debug = Each t_debug WriteLine(fileout, p\txt$) Next CloseFile(fileout) Return True End Function ;-------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; debug cleanup() function ; deletes all debug object types ; ; @parameters; ; none ; @return; ; (boolean) true ; Function debug_cleanup() For p.t_debug = Each t_debug: Delete p: Next: Return True End Function --v
