https://nr100.home.xs4all.nl/badidea/tank_game_tut/tutorial_05.html Lol, I should continue with that game some day. But not really a freebasic starting point I think. @Sammy25, like BasicCoder2 said, do have any coding experience? Do you have the compiler installed? Can you compile and run a simple...

okay then what should i use instead? how do i loop over all values in x()? Freebasic gives one more element than what you might expect compared to other languages. "dim as integer x(10)" gives you 11 elements: 0 to 10 and is the same as "dim as integer x(0 to 10)". ubound(x) wil...

Ah, that make sense. sub set() dim as string MYCOUNT="123" dim as string envStr1 envStr1 = "COUNT=" + MYCOUNT '' envStr1 must always exist without ever being modified SETENVIRON(envStr1) end sub set() print ENVIRON("COUNT") Fail dim shared as string envStr1 sub set() di...

and this? dim as string MYCOUNT="123" SETENVIRON(("COUNT=" + MYCOUNT)) print ENVIRON("COUNT") 'will return a NULL Fail dim as string MYCOUNT="" SETENVIRON("COUNT=123" & MYCOUNT) print ENVIRON("COUNT") Fail dim as string MYCOUNT="&...

Don't use 0 TO UBOUND(x) - 1 if you want to loop all values in x().

Rivers2 should use double for timer.

For flame, why not use cint(x) for assembly round() function? Then is works with fbc32 as well.

Interesting. The paper backup was also recently discussed in 'squares', but the possibilities overestimated by a factor 10,000 by a certain forum member.

Simple answer, add "sleep 1" in the loop. Today's CPUs (and operating systems) are different than CPUs form a few decades ago. But is that freebasic code? loop is a reserved keyword. And try to a avoid goto , this often results in code that is hard to read (for yourself and others). If you...

For "Aborting due to runtime error 12 ("segmentation violation" signal) in ..." Did you compile with -exx for extra debugging information? For the game loop there are several possibilities. You can have a 'select block' with loops inside it, but you can also make 1 loop with a 's...

I still have fbsound issues. I compared with freebasic-miner (using fbsound). There the 32-bit version work fine. miner64 also crashes here with "error: lib fbsound-64 not loaded ! Segmentation fault (core dumped)". The 32-bit fbsound files form eschecs and freebasic-miner are different si...

Can you put your git-version link in the first post? Then it is easier to find.

If you think that FreeBasic is slow and wasting memory, then Python definitely not your cup of tea :-)

It was fun while it lasted and still fun for those of us who are too old to move on. If I think that programming in FreeBasic is still fun, does that mean that I am too old to move on? Some cut their teeth earlier - I cut mine in about 1965 when Fortran, Cobol, Algol, Assembler and BASIC were the t...

Imagine if BASIC had not existed and FreeBASIC hit the streets today, or PowerBASIC or PureBasic and others, for that matter, I wonder what sort of stir would be created. However, of course, the word 'basic' would not be used. I can imagine comments like: "Have you seen what this new language ...
