Re: Moderators, FB community
Let it be obvious that I disagree with *fxm* and any of the associated statements .... He (she ?) seems to misinterpet too many things at a once (in a livetime) sort of way ... Meaning (clear and straight): I want an explicit apology ... (where I stands for the community at large) (just reverting th...

The keyword manual should be the reference for the language.
We agree on that but only as long as that doesn't make it "incomprehensible" for most.

Re: String index doc
I prefer mine which is more compact and precise IMHO. I definitely don't: its more compact (yes) but far less simple to understand. This is, what should have TOP PRIORITY. Secondly, users must like it (not you or me). in its first form: A UByte containing the ASCII value of a string-character (byre...

Re: String index doc
Maybe it would be better like this? Returns a numeric reference to a character value in a string Anyway, if it's the term 'reference' that bothers you, we can't escape it because it's the appropriate term! I beg to differ, how it is returned is only a secondary priority. Ordinary users want to know...

Re: Docs for ASM command
Assuming that the return value of your function is DWORD sized, this one works : I think it's vice versa: stating the size of the 0 value: Asm mov [function], DWord Ptr[0] Since the size of [function] is known (typically EAX or RAX, aka: register size). Depends on bitness of FBC used (32 - DWord, 6...

Re: freebasic game "Russian roulette" code review
For 32-bit colors I would NOT use Enum (result is: Integer) but rather ULong Const 's. Example below: Const As ULong red = &hFFCF0000, orange = &hFF7F7F00, _ yellow = &hFFFFDF00, green = &hFF00CF3F, _ cyan = &hFF00CFCF, blue = &hFF003FCF, _ purple = &hFFCF00CF, black = &a...

Re: Shorthand for setter/getter hell
Properties are of limitted value in such cases (only ever a single value handled). They can be substituted with one's own handlers, like below example: ' This code works Type MyObject Public: declare Sub SetO(ByVal Val_x as UInteger, ByVal Val_y as UInteger) declare Function GetO(ByVal mode As ULong...

After a simple Sleep you'll have to clear the keyboard buffer, if you want to assure it's "empty".
