thanks for the replies: axipher and counting_pine as i code these newbie projects i can see how far technology has taken us from the good ol' dos days: i need to establish good programming habits now by declaring variable types in all programs. and if i understood counting_pine correctly, i encourag...

i also will be watching to see if FbEdit gets a subforum. I was watching the FbIDE by Vongodrick and others and back at qbnews FbIDE was coded in Freebasic but then switched to C++. I hope that don't happen to FbEdit. I think FbIDE is a dead project now. therefore i think FbEdit would be a great IDE...

Yay, my first program. Here's a program i adapted from a book i'm using to learn FreeBasic 'Kaleidoscope.bas 'Dec 2006 'copied from the book "Qbasic Games & More" by Fred Sexton, Jr. 'adapted to FreeBasic by ElectronicDolphin 'NOTE: added a sleep function adjust constant SLEEPTIME for ...

i just got me a little fb site going and tried to add it to the top 50 but kept getting rejected because the registration form wouldn't accept my input for the number on the image. i'll update later if it works. just wanted to let ya' know in case it's some bug or sumthin. -Jay nevermind i just mes...

In the newer versions of the compiler, you'll have to use something other than a period. Under_Score, CamelCase, etc... so when FB goes oop it won't be wise to use periods to demark variables is what i gather. i like that CamelCase cause its the most compact and also i don't have to stretch fingers...

Thanks Dr_D, i see that UDT is the same as structs in C. I'm currently going thru an older book called Microsoft Basic using Modular Structure and they state that microsoft basic will allow variables to contian periods marks to demark the variables (i guess because back in the day they had to do all...

KetilO, just started using your FbEdit and wanted chime in briefly to tell you that it is a very nice running program. my only learning curve was playing around with FbEdit to get the paths right in order to compile correctly. guess i didn't skim the read me or something and just jumped right in. Fb...

one of the most important parts of programming is the planning stage. this stage for me is mostly pencil and paper. most of the time i just write a somewhat haphazard discription and try to code that. but as of recent i've been trying some flowcharting. what method of planning do you use while still...
