From 1525922faa8f2620b0e5413244d0deff7f19cb88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 19:05:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] examples: add 5 new programs covering match/loop/logic/bitwise/scanline MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fills the biggest feature-coverage gaps in the existing example set: - match_demo.ne — match statement over a Screen enum, driving a title / playing / paused / game-over flow with a debounced controller. - loop_break_continue.ne — `loop { ... }` with `break` and `continue`, scanning an enemy array for the first hit. - logic_ops.ne — keyword-based `and` / `or` / `not` gating movement and scoring on alive/paused flags. - bitwise_ops.ne — packed status-byte flags with `&` / `|` / `^` / `>>` plus a health-bar render loop. - scanline_split.ne — MMC3 `on scanline(120)` handler rewriting the scroll register mid-frame for a classic status-bar split. All 14 examples (9 existing + 5 new) pass the jsnes smoke test (`14/14 ROMs rendered successfully`) and still pass `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy -D warnings`, and `cargo test`. Known limitations surfaced while authoring these examples, to be fixed in follow-up commits: 1. Array-literal global initializers (`var xs: u8[4] = [1,2,3,4]`) are silently dropped by `lower_program` — `eval_const` returns None for `Expr::ArrayLiteral` and no synthetic per-element init code is emitted. Affects `arrays_and_functions`, `structs_enums_for`, `loop_break_continue`, and any future array-using example. Arrays effectively boot at all-zero. 2. `draw` inside a loop body reuses one static OAM slot — `next_oam_slot` increments at IR-codegen time rather than at runtime, so N iterations all write to the same 4-byte OAM entry. Affects `arrays_and_functions`, `structs_enums_for`, `bitwise_ops` (health pips), and any loop that wants to render per-iteration sprites. Both bugs are latent and didn't surface until I tried to write examples that exercise the relevant features — the existing integration tests only check iNES header structure, and the jsnes smoke test's "at least one sprite rendered" bar is satisfied by one sprite even when several were intended. https://claude.ai/code/session_014Z5y3Q9krLcAxYpZQJhZ5V --- examples/bitwise_ops.ne | 98 ++++++++++++++++ examples/logic_ops.ne | 80 +++++++++++++ examples/loop_break_continue.ne | 108 ++++++++++++++++++ examples/match_demo.ne | 76 ++++++++++++ examples/scanline_split.ne | 61 ++++++++++ tests/emulator/screenshots/bitwise_ops.png | Bin 0 -> 884 bytes tests/emulator/screenshots/logic_ops.png | Bin 0 -> 816 bytes .../screenshots/loop_break_continue.png | Bin 0 -> 816 bytes tests/emulator/screenshots/match_demo.png | Bin 0 -> 807 bytes tests/emulator/screenshots/scanline_split.png | Bin 0 -> 884 bytes 10 files changed, 423 insertions(+) create mode 100644 examples/bitwise_ops.ne create mode 100644 examples/logic_ops.ne create mode 100644 examples/loop_break_continue.ne create mode 100644 examples/match_demo.ne create mode 100644 examples/scanline_split.ne create mode 100644 tests/emulator/screenshots/bitwise_ops.png create mode 100644 tests/emulator/screenshots/logic_ops.png create mode 100644 tests/emulator/screenshots/loop_break_continue.png create mode 100644 tests/emulator/screenshots/match_demo.png create mode 100644 tests/emulator/screenshots/scanline_split.png diff --git a/examples/bitwise_ops.ne b/examples/bitwise_ops.ne new file mode 100644 index 0000000..67eec70 --- /dev/null +++ b/examples/bitwise_ops.ne @@ -0,0 +1,98 @@ +// Bitwise Ops — demonstrates shift and mask operators on a packed +// "status" byte that holds several small flags. +// +// The byte layout: +// bit 7 — alive +// bit 6 — shield +// bit 5 — powered +// bit 4 — invulnerable +// bits 0..3 — health (0..15) +// +// The player toggles each high-bit flag with the face buttons and +// heals/damages the low nibble with the d-pad.
