I didn't realise you could use adjective_is - I couldn't find it in autocomplete.  I'll have a play with that later.  Definitely sounds like the same issue though!

Just tried it and it's solved my 'red/blue' issue in the newest beta version, so thanks!

It's actually adjective1_is and adjective2_is (preceding noun1 and noun2 respectively), but I guess you've worked that out by now.

The adjective based solution should work in 8 bit mode too. Please confirm either way if you can.

Not working for me in the editor (beta 47)  - getting the error message 'Word not found 'RED' on line 847'.

Line 847:

: if (adjective1_is "red") {

Sorry about this Dee. The adjective1_is function was partially mapped  in 8-bit mode but it seems not fully.

Please update to beta 48.

Seems to be working now, thanks!

Unfortunately beta 48 has thrown up another issue now that I'm trying to update the Spectrum version - when running the DAAD conversion, I'm getting a 'word already defined' error that was never a problem before.  The instances of the word in question have not been changed between the two versions.  It's still fine with beta 45d, but of course the adjective fix doesn't work there.

I've mailed you a resolution to this issue.

The quick answer is that there is now a conflict between a word you define to be an adjective and a word you define to be a noun, but Adventuron did not flag it ahead of time. In 45d, as there as no Adjectives being emitted, it was not a problem, in beta 48, it is a problem, but the workaround is to ensure that you don't use the same word (or same 5 letter stem of a word for both a noun and an adjective).

I'll work on getting Adventuron to flag this in the editor too, but the fix is rather easy, as documented more fully in the email.

Thanks!

Have emailed code snippet to demonstrate.
