PDF-manual 6-4

[Dutchman]

The updated PDF manual version 6.4 is available in the DropBox-folder https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zpsvd55g1iyj ... AdqGa?dl=0
or in short: http://bit.ly/1DN8gYw
The PDF-manual is in size A5, which fits perfectly on iPad and can be used to search certain items.
Adobe Reader has facilities to generate the booklet version on A4-pages. It should also fit on 'US legal' size.
Modification date of the manual is on the front cover.

Between version 5.8 and version 6.4, the PDF-manual has not been updated due to a long period of missing updates for the app, followed by a long period in which I could not use the new version of the SB-app because of iOS-problems with transfer of the software from the old SB-version on my iPad. My new iPad changed that and gave the opportunity and necessity to refresh this documentation.
Because the appearance and user interface have changed, several images were no longer up-to-date. Various images have therefore been removed, as well as related descriptions.

Major items removed in the description:
• Launcher
A user-defined system to launch programs. "Because you can quickly start the apps from the launcher, it is no longer a burden if the tree is fairly deep."
See http://nitisara.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1512
and http://nitisara.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9193
• Dropbox cloud storage
Apple refused distribution via Apple store as long as the Dropbox storage facility was active. With version 6, the 'share' facility was introduced which allows storage in e.g. iCloud. The Dropbox facility became obsolete.

Doubts about updates SDK
On the forum there is apparently no update of SDK after version 5.7.
I suppose that generating a stand-alone app is no longer supported.
In that case the paragraph "Your program in App Store" should be removed from chapter 13 Notes

Playing haptics with "Vibrate"
The Vibrate commands, new in version 6.4, introduce haptic feedback in Smart Basic, depending on the platform.
However, these commands are introduced without any explanation and without example programs. Hopefully more info will come from users or Mr K.
Some information from Apple can be found at https://apple.co/3omM84t

SDK has all necessary updates, including latest v6.4 features.

OK. I removed that remark.
What about examples for Vibrate?

[Mr. Kibernetik]

What about examples for Vibrate?

VIBRATE command is documented in "Interface" section of documentation.
Usage example:

Code: Select all

print "light"
vibrate light
pause 1
print "medium"
vibrate medium
pause 1
print "hard"
vibrate hard
pause 1
print "success"
vibrate success
pause 1
print "error"
vibrate error
pause 1
print "hard"
vibrate

Thank you.
I cannot test these commands. My iPhone is too old (5C) and iPad does not vibrate
Example added to the document and remark adapted.

This feels like a very light kick from inside the phone.
It can be used to make a screen touch to feel like a physical button click.
Strange that Apple did not implement this feature for all their devices...

Perhaps because an iPad is not worn on the body
