I found a small, and very simple SAT test of mine Jaw drop. There is a lot of useful material here. Anyone interested in collision detection should make this a part of their curriculum. Here's a short youtube video showing and explaining the basic concept. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IELWpIGtjR...

Google is your friend. Ahh, good ol' Google. The fourth link that Google provided me upon searching "separating axis theorem" deceptively went to a viagra page. Not just viagra, but super viagra, and viagra professional, too. Avoid the "dyn4j" result if you search this yourself....

Is there somewhere in my code I need to reference this precision timer? How does it work exactly? The precision timer example belongs to the Windows only "winmm.dll" library. The reason we use it within a preprocessor #ifthen is to check for a Windows system. It seems that the Windows sys...

I got this output:

Try adding this screencontrol above your screenres : screencontrol 103, "DirectX" 'screencontrol 103, "GDI" ScreenRes screen0width, screen0height, bitdepth, 2, (GFX_FULLSCREEN Or GFX_NO_SWITCH) If "DirectX' doesn't help, use GDI. If neither of these help, you can always try ...

Try this and see if it helps at all. It could be a Windows system timing inconsistency. '######################################################################################################## #ifdef __FB_WIN32__ declare function set_precision_timer lib "winmm.dll" alias "timeBeginPe...

Nice demonstration. If Indiana Jones is your thing, you should code in a rolling stone chasing after the character. Really make the code sweat!

@ron77 - What MrSwiss is saying is an important thing to aim for when coding. These are basics that you should make a habit of. You'll need to follow these basics if you want to become a better coder. I updated my example for you that takes away the bad habit of using "shared" and "in...

Glad I could help. Here is another version that locks frame increment with our timer that checks to update the screen. original code: #INCLUDE "fbgfx.bi" USING FB screenres 640,480,32 color rgb(0,0,0),rgb(120,120,120):CLS TYPE ObjectType X AS SINGLE Y AS SINGLE Speed AS SINGLE Frame AS INT...

Strike down zombies in this next getjoystick() demonstration. Use thumbsticks axis 0 and axis 1 to move and aim your sword. Button 0 and 7 will activate your sword for effective zombie slaying. A keyboard version is included separately. Use arrow keys to move and space to attack. Sword aims in the d...

Conway's game of life Nice work. Thought I'd add my own pixelated version of your code: dim shared as long W = 640 dim shared as long H = 480 screenres W, H, 32 W -= 1 H -= 1 DIM SHARED AS long grid(0 TO W,0 TO H), _new_grid(0 TO W, 0 TO H) DIM As long gen, n, nei, was DIM as long x, y RANDOMIZE TI...

Using coderJeff's previous example of getjoystick() code https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5229 as well as heavy inspiration from paul doe's fbg-mouse.bi https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28958 I've put together a new getjoystick() demonstration. All four ...

This is very helpful information badidea. Thank you. I'm curious about: #Ifdef __FB_WIN32__ Is there a list of __FB__ definitions? Is there documentation about it? This is preprocessor stuff right? Does the compiler define it? What are these standard definitions? I'd like to learn more about all thi...

I'm glad to hear that. Would using an #ifdef in this case be possible to make it linux friendly? Also, is there something similar to timeBeginPeriod/timeEndPeriod on linux?
