The next version of BooBoo will have toptr which gives you a pointer from a string with a variable name in it.

number f
file_open f "word.txt" "r"
string s
file_read f s
file_close f
call `(toptr s)
function foo
{
        print "foo!\n"
}
function bar
{
        print "bar!\n"
}
function baz
{
        print "baz!"
}

Now if word.txt contains “foo”, “bar” or “baz” the appropriate function is called.

For example:

number x
= x 100
string s
= s (varname x)
print "%\n" s ; prints "x"
= `(tovar s) 777 ; x is now 777

OpenGL uses upside down textures, D3D uses right side up. BooBoo/Shim has sheltered this for the most part, but it’s a pain in the arse so I’m storing textures in lib dependent format from now on. The 3D examples change, it will need to have a if (== TRUE D3D9) block where texture coordinates are used, and flip them vertically. Or I might just drop D3D altogether…

image_read_texture reads an image into a BooBoo vector for manipulation. image_to_texture creates a new texture from such a vector (which can be fully created oneself or gotten from image_read_texture) and image_update updates an existing texture with new data (faster.)

This isn’t live yet… next version will have these 3 functions.
