Is it a good idea to have
ARGB and RGBA codecs?
Hm... this works:
>> i: make image! 2x1 i/argb: #{0102030405060708} i
== make image! [2x1 #{030201070605} #{
FBF7}]
The binary value is in BGRO or (BRGA?) format
Use
? request-file to see details, and play in the console with it, to see how the refinements work. You can also do ? request to see the other requestors that are available.
Here is an interesting example of Red's code = data property: with five LOC I add a new item to the console's menu
; get console face
cons: first head system/view/screens/1/pane
; add to console menu
append last cons/menu ["Check for updates" check-update]
; modify the body of the on-menu actor function
body: body-of :cons/actors/on-menu
insert third body [check-update [do %check-update.red]]
; rebuild the function from the spec and the modified body
cons/actors/on-menu: func spec-of :cons/actors/on-menu body
Can you post the code for %check-updates.red as well?
@rebolek OK, thanks! I'll post my source when I'm ready - I don't rule out the possibility of more mistakes from my side.
By the way, success with 70x70 (it took maybe 15 minutes, but proves that my concept works) - I'll need much smaller grids, but was annoyed by the crashes.

@9214 I'm aware that it could be entirely my fault. I just realized the big difference between the code inerpreted in the GUI console and the compiled code. Unfortunately I didn't receive any error message. I tried to naively debug the code with printing/probing some values, but when the program crashed in the console, I never got any error message. I'll post a link to my code tomorrow. Thank you all for your feedback.
@9214 BTW, here is my take on L-systems. I also didn't get any crashes.
@9214 Thank you for your support. In the meantime I updated Red to the automated build - red-25sep19-f753e25c.exe - and there is no problem anymore, not a single crash. Sorry for wasting your time and not trying the most obvious thing. The version I have been using until now was really old - built on 22 Nov 2018.
I almost finished the game for which I was coding my generator of Hamiltonian paths. I present you the "Island Alleys"
It is a logic puzzle in the vein of Slitherlink.
You need to connect the dots by clicking (not dragging) between them and form a closed loop that goes through all the dots on the grid. The numbers are placed only where two or more "alleys" meet at a right angle and indicate the total distance to the shore in all directions.
Enjoy!
