Hello there!
The Fixed Point Maths extension seems not to work anymore, at least not for me. Is it because of the new Inform 7 version? (I used Inform 7 v. 6G60 and Fixed Points Math v. 4)
Look for yourself:

Hello is a room.

In Chapter 9 - Some mathematical functions, Section 6 - Sines in the extension Fixed Point Maths by Michael Callaghan:
Problem. In ‘let X be X plus 1’ , it looks as if you want to use ‘let’ to change the value of the temporary variable ‘X’. Ordinarily that would be fine, but it’s not allowed when the variable is used as the counter in a ‘repeat’ loop, or has some other do-not-disturb purpose - this could cause chaotic effects. The rule is: you can only change an existing value with ‘let’ if it was created by ‘let’ in the first place.
In Section 8 - Tangents in the extension Fixed Point Maths by Michael Callaghan:
Problem. In the sentence ‘decide on result in degrees’ , I was expecting to read a real number, but instead found some text that I couldn’t understand - ‘result’.
I was trying to match one of these phrases:
-
(result - real number) in degrees
-
(result - number) in degrees
This was what I found out:
result = something unrecognised
In Section 9 - Natural logarithms in the extension Fixed Point Maths by Michael Callaghan:
Problem. In ‘let X be X plus 1’ , it looks as if you want to use ‘let’ to change the value of the temporary variable ‘X’. Ordinarily that would be fine, but it’s not allowed when the variable is used as the counter in a ‘repeat’ loop, or has some other do-not-disturb purpose - this could cause chaotic effects. The rule is: you can only change an existing value with ‘let’ if it was created by ‘let’ in the first place.

Pretty annoying, because without the extension you can’t use the Glimmr extensions either.
Any way to fix this? (I’m still hoping that it’s just a matter of changing a couple of lines.)
Thanks,
