I am just curious. I started out using Flowchart and found out that CASE is not supported. I found it easy to add it in using the BASIC code block. Then today I started to look into using Blockly and found out that SELECT CASE isn't available there either.
So my question. Why is SELECT CASE omitted, is it slow or something? What is the best way to implement/replace it (stacked IF .. THEN's ?)
I also dont understand why other simple commands are missing. like PULLUP mask and INPUTTYPE mask. Both useful and might be implemented as an option within the START block?
First impression is that Blockly runs faster than the Flowchart method. But I suspect normal code entry might be the optimum method. Its an interesting learning curve. I also find that PICAXE editor suite tends to be a little sluggish. So I might need a quicker PC!
