Monkey Strict mode issue - docs ain't helping :/

Community Forums/Monkey Talk/Monkey Strict mode issue - docs ain't helping :/

gameproducer(Posted 2011) [#1]
Example taken from Docs, this works:
Import mojo.app
Import mojo.graphics
Import mojo.input

Class MyGame Extends App
	Field x:Int=0
	Field y:Int=0
	Field playerShipSprite:Image
		
	Method OnCreate()

		'Load any images and sounds here
		'ship.png must be found in your project's .data folder
		playerShipSprite=LoadImage("ship.png")

		SetUpdateRate 30

		End
	
	Method OnUpdate()
		x=MouseX
		y=MouseY
	End
	
	Method OnRender()
		Cls
		DrawImage playerShipSprite,x,y
	End
End

Function Main()
	New MyGame
End


But when I add THIS to the beginning:
Strict


It stops on "Method OnCreate" and says "syntax error"

Try for example this:
Strict

Import mojo

Function Main:Int()
	New MyApp
	Return 0
End Function

Class MyApp Extends App	
	Method OnCreate()
	End Method
	
	Method OnUpdate()
	End Method

	Method OnRender()
	End Method
	
End Class

If you remove "Strict", it works just fine.

if you put Strict after all the Imports, does it work ?


gameproducer(Posted 2011) [#3]
Strict needs to be on top. Aka, won't work (gets compile error then, pointing line "Strict")


semar(Posted 2011) [#4]
Hum, may be is the content of the method OnCreate then. What happens if you comment out all the commands in the methods ?

May be it does need a return type in each method, like in the Main:int()

So may be Method OnCreate:int() would do the trick ?

Strict mode is... well... strict.

You need to declare Method/Function returns, actually return them, etc.

Works:
Strict

Import mojo

Function Main:Int()
	New MyApp
	Return 0
End Function

Class MyApp Extends App	
	
End Class


Doesn't work:
Strict

Import mojo

Function Main:Int()
	New MyApp
	Return 0
End Function

Class MyApp Extends App	
	Method OnCreate()
	End Method	
End Class


Gets "compile error" on line "Method OnCreate()".

Ah, you wrote it while I was typing! :)

Gotcha. Thanks.

EDIT, yeh, so this works:
Strict

Import mojo

Function Main:Int()
	New MyApp
	Return 0
End Function

Class MyApp Extends App	
	Method OnCreate:Int()
		Return 0
	End Method	
End Class

Exactly, try Method OnCreate:int()


gameproducer(Posted 2011) [#9]
Yeh, well would be GOOD that Docs would use Strict mode. For example, when you check out OnCreate documentation, it has:

"Method OnCreate()"

No, "Method OnCreate:int()"


semar(Posted 2011) [#10]
Agreed :)


MikeHart(Posted 2011) [#11]
I was falling over this too and decided not to use strict fro now. Thanks for the info.


Canardian(Posted 2011) [#12]
Shouldn't it say also "Return 0:Int", since that has been always a problem in BlitzMax that it guesses the wrong number types, or perhaps that should be then ExtremeStrict. Or perhaps declaring a "Global Zero:Int=0:Int" variable would be better, then the compiler might notice that you are using the same memory location, and doesn't need to check the memory location for each copy/pasted 0 in the code seperately.

Here is an example of using Strict for your main/base code:



Hope that helps:)

it seems that only End works

no endif,endfunction,endclass

right?

@Lumooja, I'm always amazed about your goddamn eagle eyes ;) ... although in this case, "Return 0" seems to work just fine.

@slenkar:
"End Class" works fine, so does "End Function"


slenkar(Posted 2011) [#16]
oh ok i was using endclass with no space, thanks

hopefully compilation error messages improve in the future


therevills(Posted 2011) [#17]
If you dont want to return anything, use void:

Function Main:Void()
	New MyApp
End Function
