I'm not very familiar with fasm macros, I try to keep regularly used and important facts in an everygrowing note.

How can I repeat something using either repeat or rept and increase a floating point number without having to resort to complex int to string macros. I have this direct3d program and I need to duplicate several cube sections to make up a very long corridor, and I use floating point constants to position the cubes, how can I repeat something and add 2.0 to the constant on each iteration?

I guess I have to use some form of int to string macros and then pad .0 to it?

nmake,

Preprocessor operates with symbols (though it recognizes them as numbers when needs to). For simple cases it can help: rept 10 i:0 { dd 2#i#.0 } will generate equivalent of dd 20.0, 21.0, ..., 29.0. More generic cases probably will require assembly stage to perform compile-time floating point processing (preprocessor can join symbols but can't split them, at least directly, AFAIK).

Explain your problem, maybe it can be solved.

My simple problem is that I need to add 2.0 to a floating point immediate parameter that I pass to a function. Thats the whole simple problem.

now, invoke the same function, but with 4.0 next time, then 6.0 next time, then 8.0 next time. Repeat this 20 times over.

I used runtime floating point calculation to temporary solve it, it was just for testing purposes, building a very large stone corridor.

nmake,

Preprocessor can perform compile-time calculations. Why don't use a loop?

Yes, I forgot about the escape characters.
