RND can now be called without parentheses (equivalent to RND(1)), matching real GW-BASIC behavior for legacy code compatibility. Update all Sphinx documentation pages to reflect features added in v0.6.0-0.8.0: DATE$/TIME$/TIMER, FILES/SHELL/CHDIR/MKDIR/RMDIR, AUTO/RENUM/DELETE, COMMON, LPRINT/LLIST with --lpt, --full TUI flag, dynamic screen buffer, 54 tests.

|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
54 test programs in `tests/programs/`. Run the full suite:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash tests/run_tests.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each test has a 5-second timeout. When `.expected` files are present
|
|
(generated from real GWBASIC.EXE), the runner also reports compatibility
|
|
match status.
|
|
|
|
### Compatibility Testing
|
|
|
|
Compare output against real GWBASIC.EXE running under DOSBox-X:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate .expected files from GWBASIC.EXE (requires DOSBox-X Flatpak)
|
|
bash tests/run_compat.sh --generate
|
|
|
|
# Compare gwbasic output against .expected
|
|
bash tests/run_compat.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## CI
|
|
|
|
GitHub Actions runs on every push to `main` and on pull requests. The workflow
|
|
builds the project with PulseAudio support and runs all 54 test programs.
|
|
|
|
