[LUA] sj.get_slot(n) missed

[NS-Clone]

there is no sj.get_slot(n)
so we again need to make ugly code with org instead

current = $
org $4000
slot1 = $$
org current
...
_c( slot1)

you mean to get current page in the slot? I guess so, considering the asm code.
Technically it is what you set it to or default, so why do you need to read it...

But I guess it could be handy when providing some library-like code where you are not sure what the user of library did.

I'm not sure about the "get_slot" name, I was initially thinking you want current active slot, which I wouldn't bother with (I generally dislike the state-based SLOT + PAGE), so maybe "get_page_at"?

get_page_at
(I generally dislike the state-based SLOT + PAGE

yep i dislikes this slot name to
but there is
sj.set_slot
and instead to make opposite compatible function
you make another name with another behavior...

it's like you using logical
ENDIF, ENDLUA
but SUDDENLY
ENT, ENDM
and you always need to recall this wrong opposite names
that doesn't match main one :)

the sj.set_slot sets slot, not page. That's something different than what you proposed with your get_slot.

I would rather prefer to remove set_slot and set_page as they can be called by _pc. While get_page_at is useful, that can't even be done in asm easily with current operators.

In your example the get_slot returning slot number would return value 1 (slot 1 for memory range 0x4000..0x7FFF) in ZX128 device), while your example will return value 5 (page number mapped to slot 1) (5 as "Bank 5" being mapped to 0x4000 in ZX128 device).

OH i forgot AGAIN that there is "current slot"
and 2nd command "page" for edit this "current slot"... 🤦

so this sj.get_slot not fully opposite command

well then this get_page_at maybe better
