Hey all,

I have a bunch of images that I'm trying to batch modify -- I'd thought they were in BMP format but as it turns out they're all TIFFs. Before I try to write my own, has anyone written a TIFF loader?

Oh wow, I remember this. Cool.

(grin) I remember this.

Yep, I've been there -- it's usually followed by "why didn't you write it in C?" [grin] I usually just say it's an free open-source BASIC dialect. Depending on how computer-literate the person is, I might add that it was/is developed written by former QB enthusiasts. And then, I show them ...

So, forgive me for asking what may be an off-topic n00b question, but --

If there's no WITH equivalent in C, how will that be handled by the emitter?

Check the front page, i restarted working on the C emitter last weekend, and will continue to do so on the next ones. It's in a branch, until it's up to the task to rebuild FBC. Btw, i did a test recompiling a simple raytracer with most optimizations enabled in gcc 4.x (-O3, -fast-math, sse for the...

Hey Dr_D -- glad to see you're still working on this.

Effectively, my version of fb was too old, sorry. But now I seem to have problem when charging external libraries, like: Only valid in -lang deprecated of fblite or qb in '1 ''' and so on (I compile under FBIde with implied parameters). Excuse my approximate english (I am french). Your English is f...

JL3d, what version of FreeBASIC are you using?

That was my next question. For the record, I'm currently using v0.20, but it was first written for v0.18.

Hmm -- I can't reproduce it. (Can another reader test it and see what happens?) That may be an issue with your copy of glu.bi. In my version, that line (192) looks like this: declare function gluBuild1DMipmapLevels alias "gluBuild1DMipmapLevels" (byval target as GLenum, byval internalForma...

Hey, folks -- I made a post in Skywriter's thread here , and I thought it could be useful in this section. This is my simple OpenGL font routine. As I stated there, it uses CreateFont, so it's Windows Only. Library: FONTSIMPLE.BAS To use it, simply include FONTSIMPLE.BAS at the top of your code. I'v...

The creator does mention a level generator (in the description, under Updates).

Here's one I wrote. It's a simple as can be. It uses CreateFont, so it's Windows Only. Library: FONTSIMPLE.BAS (To use it, simply include FONTSIMPLE.BAS at the top of your code.) I've added an example below. fontsimple.bas #include Once "windows.bi" #Include Once "win/windef.bi" ...

A few years back, when I was still trying to code an RTS, I had another method. I used IMAGECREATE() to make a buffer representing the map. The pxel width and height of the buffer were equivalent to the map dimensions (tiles wide and high). At the beginning of every cycle, I cleared the buffer to (0...

This is long overdue, but:

Thanks for this, DrV. Helped me track down some huge leaks.
