I am a random Swedish boy, around 17 years old (it changes all the time, 17 is accurate as of August 2011).
I have been here on SMW Central for over three years, but I have worked with SMW for a while before that (my first post was asking for help with ASM).
While I have no problem with advanced ASM, with experiences ranging from making levels with only xkas to replacing Mario with another character, my favourite programming language is C++ (translation for non-technical people: I can and do make tools). I also have some experience with HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript and x86 assembly.
I'm not the most normal user around here. My standard answer for "How's it going?" is "Define "it"", or similar nonsense, and if I see two things at once, I usually respond to the least relevant of them. Additionally, my favourite SMW character is the Muncher, especially the floating variety.
Because the file bin is pretty limited, I made a Greasemonkey script that allows you to upload and delete multiple files at once, and to sort the files by type.
Note that it's only tested in Firefox with the default scheme; anything else may mess up in various ways.
If you've got any tool requests, or ASM requests I find interesting (the rules for what's interesting are unknown even to me, though I seem to prefer debugging stuff), send them to me and I'll see what I can do. Note that the most common result is that I don't find it interesting, and you get only a few RAM addresses and code snippets, with me expecting you to put it together by yourself.
List of xkas v0.06 bugs I know of (please PM me if you know of any other bugs):
!x = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : !x = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx overflows a buffer and crashes.
xkas replaces every instance of the % operator with 0b, ignoring that % is the modulos operator as well. Luckily, that operator is rarely needed.
Despite this, db 0b10101010 is an unknown label.
PEA Label doesn't work. This made PER $0006 more common than needed for a while, but these days, PEA.w Labelnamehere is the standard replacement.
!x = $19 : LDA !x refuses to assemble. Splitting it to two lines solves it.
DEC $1234-1,x is treated as DEC.l, which doesn't exist.
LDA Label is always treated as LDA.l, even if the label is in the same bank.
REP 0 assembles the instruction after it once, not never. A workaround is REP -1, or any other negative number.
Garbage in table files doesn't print any errors; instead, it gives various very strange results. "AAAAAAAAAAAAA" is ignored, and "Awesome garbage 'n' shit=42 FLYING HIPPOTAMUSES" acts like "A=42". To make it even stranger, every eighth digit is OR'd together, so "A=81FFFFFF18" acts line "A=99".
level10:!Freeram = $13E6 defines a label containing invalid characters. No error is printed (until the label is referenced).
.derp: defines another inaccessible label. No error is printed.
12PlayerStim: is also inaccessible.
LDA.B #$42 refuses to assemble since the .b is case sensitive.
incsrc thisfiledoesntexist.asm crashes instead of just printing an error.
The documentation mentions that only 512 incsrc's may be inside each other. This is fully acceptable, but the truth is less acceptable: Only 512 incsrc's may exist at all. Anything above that makes xkas crash.
Including the same file twice kills xkas for some crappy reason. (You can work around it by refering to aliases, like incsrc 1/../include.asm : incsrc 2/../include.asm : incsrc 3/../include.asm.)
Misplaced #s are ignored annoyingly much - LDA $#01 is treated as LDA $01 for some crappy reason.
Misplaced []s are also ignored; LDA [$00],x is LDA $00,x.
Not even LDA $[1#2] is rejected! (What it becomes is left as an exercise for the reader.)
If you call a macro before it's defined, and this macro contains a label (example), xkas crashes. I have no idea why.
db 1 is treated as 1, and db -1 is treated as -1, as expected. However, db --1 is treated as -1, db ---1 is treated as 1, and db ----1 is treated as -1.
print "%i" is treated as print "0". print "%.8X" prints 00000000. print "%n" crashes.
xkas throws "Invalid command." errors if it sees the string ", " in a quoted macro argument for some silly reason (example).
db 1/0 will, rather predictably, crash.
Less predictably, incgin data/gfx.bin (typo intentional) calls the math parser, doesn't find the label "gfx" (or "gfx.bin", not sure), defaults to 0, divides by it, and explodes.
If you use a math statement ending with an operator, for example db 4+, xkas pretends there's a 0 there.
The same applies at the start: Begin with an operator, get an invisible zero. You can even use db * if you want to confuse people. (db - gets interpreted as a label access.)
The math parser is FAR too forgiving. db @#$%^&*() prints no error; instead, it's interpreted as 0^0&0*0. (! and _ are undefined defines and labels.)
INC $123456 is treated as INC $3456. No error, of course; you won't notice until your patch suddenly disobeys the ASM file.
Using 128 math operators in the same string crashes xkas. (You're not going to run into this one unless you're looking for it, though.)
Making xkas print an error message longer than 16384 characters will make it explode. (Yes, I know any error longer than about 200 characters already is some kind of explosion, but crashes are still bugs even if they only occur in ridiculous contexts.)
!a = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa : !a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a, with the : replaced with a linebreak, doesn't expand all the defines.
db $42, returns 42 2A; other blank strings will return other seemingly random values. For more information, click .
If this string is not blank, decode it normally.
Cut off the first character of the previous string in this db/dw/dl/dd. If there is no previous string, return zero.
If the first remaining character is $, go to step 5.
Decode as many digits as possible as base 10. When you find a character that's not valid as base 10, return what you've collected thus far.
Cut the $ out. Decode the rest as base 16 until the end of the string; skip over any non-hex digits.
Return this value. However, if any xkas-recognized math operators are present, return 0 instead.
dcb "INIT" prints "invalid opcode or command [dcb "INIT"]", as expected. But it also prints "label [INIT] not found [dcb "INIT"]".
