It would depend what exactly you want to work with excel. For only a few tables it is maybe easier to transform them into FB arrays. With gtk or other gui you can create gridboxes.

Sometimes better use google with "freebasic excel" or similar

We could combine your program with mine and make music out of it. ' color_demo.bas dim as long rgb_colors(256) = { &h000000, &h0000aa, &h00aa00, &h00aaaa, &haa0000, _ &haa00aa, &haa5500, &haaaaaa, &h555555, &h5555ff, &h55ff55, &h55ffff, &hff5555, &...

It all depends on the reason why you are programming. If your intention is to bring a light in the darkness for the lost souls, then it is devotional service for god. If not it is nothing but a waste of time.

The code only makes sense if you understand the algorithm and math being used. Disagree. Do you think i could calculate any planetary orbit myself with paper and pencil? No way. It is extremely difficult because the planetary orbits are not only ellipses, they are influencing each other, and all to...

If you read a classical tutorial, there are example lines, and mostly example programs included. A experienced programmer already knows the typical elements of a program, it is just to find the right syntax in this piece of software he is working on. So he can save some time with modifying existing ...

In one word, there is no unique form of contribution, and this would be interesting to have advices around fb from anyone who have some to give in its favourite field. Maybe the best form of contribution are examples. We all know the situation, we want to quickly program a .pdf output with cairo fo...

Why not FreeBASIC², like Profan² did.

Could start with FreeBASIC⁰, then FreeBASIC¹ and FreeBASIC².

Next version then, with more 3D, could be FreeBASIC³.

Then it becomes difficult because keyboard has no ⁴, ⁵, ⁶, ⁷, ⁸, ⁹, ⁴⁵, ⁶⁷, ⁷⁵⁸⁴ and so on...

(Hope this is correctly displayed on your screen)

In german language there are lot of tutorials, examples and projects here:

I suppose most already know.

Consider switching to Mint Xfce. :-)

Mint dont need much more:

1 GB RAM
15 GB - 20 GB HD
screen with 1024 x 786 pixel

You cant expect the gfxlib becomes rewritten only for XenialPup which is a minimal distro intended for outdated hardware ( > 1 GHZ processor and 768 MB ram).

Just normal that a developer wants to develop his programming language further. The original basic BASIC philosophy was " B eginner’s A ll-purpose S ymbolic I nstruction C ode". OOP was not planned. Today we have some OOP extensions, who wants to use them can do it. Who dont want it can le...

Had this problem in Manjaro, too. Thats why i have
in above script. It is for a problem in Geany, as far i remember, but it will also appear in others.

In Mint Xfce and Cinnamon it is not.

Do you know which ones these are?

Basically you can write all kind of such equations directly in FreeBASIC code, fully described here:
