agumaAnnoying stupid error with Spark
I've been trying to fix it the entire day!!! GRRR! lol Anyway after you login, it's supposed to open the GUI (which, for now, just opens my test program). However, it only does that if you get the password right on the first try. I have NO idea whatsoever of why it does it. I've debugged just about every part of my program and I still can't figure out why the darn thing won't load! Anyway, good luck trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with it! lol [file name=spark.zip size=153933]http://theguiblog.com/images/fbfiles/files/spark.zip[/file]		2009-03-136:53 PM

I'm finding your SPK code a bit hard to decipher, but have you thought about the possibility that, once the user gets the password wrong, the path to wrongpass.spk is on the stack? I don't know if running it in your language removes this string, but if not it might stay around and get evaluated as a wrong password.		2009-03-137:33 PM

It actually does remove it from the stack after it calls the runprog command. It even RUNS the window manager, but for some reason the window manager won't do anything except show me a blank screen. I still haven't found the solution to it!		2009-03-137:40 PM

I've been taking a look at the code for you scripting langauge (actually trying to make a program that translates it to something more readable), but it's bugging me that it seems you've made the task harder for yourself. For example instead of having: CMP CMPSTR GOEQ: GOLESS: GOMORE: GOTO: GOZERO: GONEG: you could have only something like: STREQ? EQ? GT? LT? The first few would push a 1 or 0 on the stack based on the result. Also: IF: GOTO: Also you could add logic: AND OR NOT XOR So you could combine the boolean results. For example to test if both 3 is equal to 4 AND if 4 is equal to 4: PUSH3 PUSH4 EQ? PUSH4 PUSH4 EQ? AND IF: xxx Also you've got some commands that take their arguments from the script file instead of the stack it seems, and I think it would be easier (and much more flexible) if for example DIRS took its path from the stack. That way if the working path changed during runtime, the program could account for that.		2009-03-138:17 PM

Thanks, although I think I'm going to keep with the complicated GOTOs and CMPs because I feel like it. (And because I'm lazy) Also, I've switched the DIRS function to take inputs from the stack, although it seems the rest of the ones fit because the user wouldn't really input them anyway. Any idea why it doesn't login though?		2009-03-139:04 PM
