Upcoming changes to CONST may affect your code

So, I don't really understand it anymore.

Const foo = 1

Print foo



Const foo1 = &HFFFF

Print foo1



Const foo2 = &HFFFF + &HFFFFFFFF

Print foo2



'Addition von Pluswerten, sonst Minuswert

Const foo3 = &HFF000000~& + &HFFFF~&

Print foo3



'4278255615 + (-65535) = 4.278.190.080

Const foo4 = &HFF000000~& + &HFFFF

Print foo4



Print

'Minuswert

Const foo5 = &HFF000000 + &HFFFF

Print foo5

Print

Print &HFF00FFFF

Print &HFEFFFFFF

You're still using the currently bugged version.

At the moment, there are instances where CONST will *negate* the resulting value for us. Const foo = 1 will assign a value of -1 to foo... This is a 100% glitch and is being patched even now by the dev team. (It's not something so obvious as to work with 1, but the previous was just an illustration. Where you can find the glitch is with CONST foo = &HFFFF which returns a value of - &HFFF.)

You're not going to see the changes yet, as they're still in the update queue and not live in the language yet. I was just giving folks early warning of *upcoming changes*, in the next release.
