I think some people are a bit naive thinking that the change of language will somehow unleash their developing potentials. I might be wrong, but I really can't remember a game development project that was canceled because "FB couldn't do it". For me at least its not a change in language, ...

Wasn't my intention to "dish fb". Was just writing my observations. My plans are actually intertwined with syn9 and some others, involving c#/++ game development. I also intend to personally pursue Microsoft's XNA with c# as a rapid prototyping tool and to enter a competition I heard about.

Think I'm following syn9 out the door. I agree with whomever said that it is useful to have different tools in your belt. However, at this point, freebasic is like that really old, rusty, and completely outdated tool that you only keep around because you had fun with it when you were young. Develope...

Or you could go the route of 99% of games and just use time based movement/motion and not worry at all about the FPS. This is achieved by changing all motion to velocities in something/s, and then just figure how much time has gone by since the last calculation. something along the lines of: last_tm...

Sure, we can all use OpenGL and DirectX, and such, but that is a very basic level. Only super geniuses (like syn9!) can make complex games without a graphics engine. Technically syn9 doesn't make a game without a graphics engine, he codes his own. Also, all a graphics engine is is that 'basic openg...

Maybe someone else can be more comprehensive, but the commands you are looking for are 'gluProject' and 'gulUnproject'

happy (late) thanksgiving

I suggest the best way to influence the long term development of FreeBasic is to contribute code to the community, not just throw opinions at the forums. I think you meant: 1) Fb needs more coders using it and producing useful apps 2) Fb needs less complainers... This comment made in that thread &q...

or while you're adding options give:
-keep as posted
-lowercase
-uppercase
-capitalized

:P

more useful imo but for some reason not supported is stuff like exit for,do...exit for,for, and exit do,do are already supported, how are they any different from exit for,do....

beat it :D. It generated a level7.ge3 file upon finished level 6, dunno if it was supposed to do that ;)

But not the only way to complete it...:)

Btw, I've collected all the gems in level 3, but I cannot figure out how I am supposed to get to that key, going from top doesn't work, nor bottom...what is the trick?

ok, you have me there...I guess I've missed some things...(btw is that nested screenlocks, or does it only get locked once?)
