I'm sorry @deltarho I don't have an answer. I feel your frustration. I noticed a similar thread recently in the PowerBASIC forum https://forum.powerbasic.com/forum/user-to-user-discussions/programming/821188-timebeginperiod . I hope someone can provide you an answer. I was surprised to read that Lin...

I am not sure what point you are trying to make. It was a contribution to your post with brief explanation of an included barebones demonstration as well as a couple links. I think of examples and demonstrations as good things for learning. Linking external information related to the topic is also ...

Applications which do not use timeBeginPeriod will use the default system resolution – 15.625ms. Applications which do use timeBeginPeriod are subject to the highest resolution requested. Below is a demonstration implementing timeBeginPeriod for Windows systems. In this demo, the variable sleep_tim...

I like this. On the sales page I think it might help to promote what age range this is intended for. The promoted media demonstrates that the mathematics are simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I remember being introduced to these operations completely around age 6 in first g...

Thanks for sharing this. I'd come across this technique of using ubyte values for the rows of 8x8 fonts but hadn't done anything with it. Your post encouraged me to convert my own slightly modified font tileset this way. Besides this I also included the bulkier method of storing the font in a bitmap...

I was looking for a lightning algorithm and came across this old thread. Here is my contribution based on attacke's example. I stripped away the conversion from radian to degree ( and back again ) and changed some of the core routine. https://i.postimg.cc/262nzmvJ/lightning.jpg #define min( v, x ) _...

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:

For a bit more information regarding this topic see the FBWiki: https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/ProPgAntiFlickering

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...
