Here my suggestions: array_shuffle -> Shuffles selected rows of 1D or 2D arrays - can be limited to a specific column in 2D arrays array_transpose -> transposes a 1D or 2D array (swaps rows and columns) array_concatenate -> concatenate two arrays - either 1D or 2D with the same number of columns arr...

Wow, that's pretty cool. What does the effect do? Is it giving a Z coordinate based on the colour value? Thank you for your feedback. :-) Yes, the Z depth is the grey scale of the color. The Z depth can be adjusted by the divider. The less the divider is the more depth will be drawn. To invert the ...

Does this help?

Here another graphical example to display an image using the Rutt Etra Izer video effect. If you want to use the predefined image settings than you need first the image. Copy / paste the code to your editor and run it. It will convert the JPG to BMP format and save it to disk (Windows only!). Put it...

Here another Tunnel flight: Tunnel Flight v2.5.2 (too long to post it here directly)

Thank you Luxan. This is non string parser, but experimenting with light shading with a given trig function. Type V3 As Single x,y,z End Type Operator -(v1 As v3,v2 As v3) As v3 'v1-v2 Return Type(v1.x-v2.x,v1.y-v2.y,v1.z-v2.z) End Operator Operator ^ (Byref v1 As v3,Byref v2 As v3) As v3 'cross pr...

Little update on 2019-04-11:
* added simple meteor movement
* sun light direction is now from the right side
* ecliptic calculation (earth axis)

If you are interested have a look to the 1st post. You need to download the zip-archive because I changed the background size.

Thanks UEZ. Very nice. If you don't mind, I have tweaked a bit to give shorter days (and nights) Hi all, @dodicat, your snippet doesn't use GDI+ it seems? If so, I'll try to learn from it because I was looking for a planet for my game ! Neither the code I posted nor the tweaked version from dodicat...

Thanks for your feedback dodicat. :-) No, I don't mind of course and I also wanted to ask how to tweak the code that it runs faster. That's a nice idea to use the construct which give a great performance boost to fps - now at ~ 77 fps (doubled+). I need to analyse and check it to understand the idea...

I've already coded this using GDI+ but now my try to code it without GDI+ using native FB code. That means it should run also on Linux (not tested by me). https://i.ibb.co/5k9GjQ2/Screenshot-RE.jpg Source code: 'Main code by UEZ 'Image to sphere projection by andalmeida -> https://www.codeproject.co...

@marpon: thank you for your reply. I will definitely have a look to the other compression functions. Well, there are many ways to add binary data to the compiled exe and one of these is this method. The reason why I've chosen it is historical because I've created something like this in the past for ...

Thanks for sharing. ^_^

Maybe I will add lzmat to FB File2Bas Code Generator...

Updated to v0.99

Added simple_lzfx_v2 (thanks to marpon) and zlib as additional compression algorithms.

See post#1 for decompression examples.

On my Win10 v1803 build 17134.648 and FB 1.06 compiled as x86 / x64 it looks like this:

Apparently the length depends on the exe size. The larger the file the more repetitions exist. #Include "file.bi" Function tally(somestring As String,partstring As String) As Integer Dim As Integer i,j,ln,lnp,count,num ln=Len(somestring) lnp=Len(partstring) count=0 i=-1 Do i+=1 If somestri...
