Hello!!!

I was coding and I believe I have found a bug in DBPRO 7.5:

disable escapekey
ink rgb(0,0,0),rgb(255,255,255)

works okay.

But if, instead, you use:
disable escapekey
ink rgb($00,$00,$00),rgb($ff,$ff,$ff)

if while playing the game you press the <ESC> key it exits to Windows.

Of course that my code is large but I have been able to narrow the behaviour to the INK RGB command.

Kind regards,
>Marco A.G.Pinto

Should that second snippet even compile?

yes, it compiles and it works (changes the colour of the text).

Except that it breaks the command to turn off the <ESC> key.

What does $00 mean?

Doesn't on my machines - I just get a black screen whatever numbers I use after the $s. Yes the esc key is not disabled but I suspect something else is wrong here.

Standard hex notation works fine:

Hello Green Gandalf!

"$" also means hexadecimal, so $00=0x00=0 and $FF=0xFF=255



Kind regards from Marco

It does compile, and it may work in your particular example but that's only because you're expecting $00 to be 0. $55 would return 0 as well.

0x is the prefix DB uses for hex.

and why would you use rgb() when you can just
ink 0x000000,0xFFFFFF or whatever values
instead of
ink rgb($00,$00,$00),rgb($ff,$ff,$ff)

That doesn't always work for me. I'll use the hex value once in awhile, but sometimes it won't work.

Hex values always work as long as you put an extra 0xFF at the start like this:


The reason being that the first byte of a colour is the alpha value, and so if it is set to zero any commands which accept alpha will not draw anythhing.
