Hello list,
I have been lurking on this for some time and went on sabatical
last year, but I recently began using Maxima again. I am now
using wxMaxima as in
wxMaxima 0.7.2 http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.netMaxima 5.11.0
http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp CMU Common Lisp CVS Head 2007-05-11 17:18:25 (19D)
which is what I get when I start up.
The new wxMaxima is much more useful and it really is letting me
work faster. The ability to save the in/output etc and batch it
in is superb, just what I was hoping. Unfortunetely, I have
attempted a program, and now the real fun begins to happen.
Assuming I have:
curpos:[0,0]
I have written a function move(curpos, dir) where dir is in 0 to
3 and t returns a list as [x,y];
So what this is supposed to do is move you around a matrix ie
curpos:[0,0]$
curpos:move(curpos, 0);
[1,0] /Move right
but I want to move right then down, then left which are dirs
0,1,2 so I tried various code that was variations of
curpos:[0,0]
curpos: block(
[curpos:curpos],
for i:0 thru 2 do curpos:move(curpos, i),
curpos
);
which should give [0,1], but all I got was either done or false,
depending on I have no idea what, even though I swear, I have
rtFm. (By the way, the manual excels, I don't not vice versa)
If anyone can help, thanks.
If not... feel free to ignore or mock this message as it
deserves.
All the best on the new release.
