I think in 1 or 2 weeks, in the meantime, you can always download a development build from the github Action CI builds page.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong here?

You are using the version 8 compiler to try to compile code from version 9. A bunch of breaking changes are coming in version 9: https://prog8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrading8.html

So - either download a work in progress version of the verson 9 compiler from the github CI action build artifacts (or build it yourself in the already cloned repository!), or switch back to the version 8 branch of the example code https://github.com/irmen/prog8/tree/v8_maintenance

Thanks for your reply, I checked out the project and compiled it

We'll leave it there, I don't expect you to keep debugging my issues. I will keep an eye on how your project progresses and try again later.

that error is much easier to fix, you're compiling a CommanderX16 program with the default compilation target which is the commodore64.

Please study the prog8 manual a little to familiarize with the various options and settings as I've tried to explain all of this there. In this particular case, you should add "-target cx16" as a command line option to tell the compiler that the program is meant to run on the commander x16.

Prog8 version 9.0 has been released! https://github.com/irmen/prog8/releases/tag/v9.0

This release contains a bunch of breaking changes over 8.0.
Please read about them and some guidance on how to upgrade your programs here: https://prog8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrading8.html

the -target option is now required, c64 is no longer a default.
added ‘cbm’ block in the syslib module that now contains all CBM compatible kernal routines and variables
added min(), max() builtin functions. For floats, use floats.minf() and floats.maxf().
added clamp(value, minimum, maximum) to restrict a value x to a minimum and maximum value. For floats, use floats.clampf(f, minv, maxv).
rename sqrt16() to just sqrt(), make it accept multiple numeric types including float. Removed floats.sqrt().
abs() now supports multiple datatypes including float. Removed floats.fabs().
divmod() now supports multiple datatypes. divmodw() has been removed.
cx16diskio module merged into diskio (which got specialized for commander x16 target). load() and load_raw() with extra ram bank parameter are gone.
drivenumber parameter removed from all routines in diskio module. The drive to work on is now simply stored as a diskio.drivenumber variable, which defaults to 8.
for loops now skip the whole loop if from value already outside the loop range (this is what all other programming languages also do)
asmsub params or return values passed in cpu flags (like carry) now must be declared as booleans (previously ubyte was still accepted).
(on cx16) added diskio.save_raw() to save without the 2 byte prg header
added sys.irqsafe_xxx irqd routines
added gfx2.fill() flood fill routine
added @split storage class for (u)word arrays to store them as split lsb/msb arrays which is more efficient (but doesn’t yet support all array operations)
added -splitarrays command line option and ‘%option splitarrays’ to treat all word arrays as tagged with @split

Congrats on getting a major release out, with what looks to be an extensive amount of changes and improvements.

Can you point me to the correct Documentation on how SPLIT arrays are handled ?
