There's a new version of the Vectrex32 firmware available, version 1.21. If you already own Vectrex 1.10 or newer, you can download the firmware here (https://vectrex32.com/category/downloads/). If you still have version 1.00, please read this (http://forums.vectrex32.com/index.php/topic,28.0.html).
This version adds several new features and fixes a few bugs:
- Add run-time error handling with ON ERROR CALL
- Add 2.5D sprites, which are 2D sprites that can be positioned in the 3D world.
- Add binary file I/O with FRead and FWrite. Add random access with FSeek and FTell.
- Add byte arrays to support binary files.
- Add bitwise operators &, |, ^, and ~ (AND, OR, Exclusive OR, and Complement).
WARNING: if you were using ^ for exponentiation, you need to change your code!
- Add the pow() function for exponentiation.
- Allow == for testing equality, since you can't teach an old C programmer new tricks. :-)
- Add SpriteGetUserData and SpriteSetUserData to allow a program to associate
arbitrary data with a sprite
- Handle dual-port RAM overflows more gracefully.
- When re-DIMming an array, free the old array before allocating the new one. This
is more memory efficient.
