The problem is of corse, I have 256 times declare an image. Or 128 for ASCII only There is something like arrays, you know? Arrays are not limited to numbers, you can have arrays of images, arrays of bicycles, arrays of windows, arrays of arrays of arrays of trouble, anything. const as integer MAX_...

I have to be considered a rank beginner as I have not looked at the BASIC programming language since the mid-1970's. I have decided to jump in off the deep end and have downloaded and installed FreeBASIC V1.05.0 and FBIde0.4.6r4. Welcome! Sound like another one retired form work and returning to an...

You make an image of it, and use put (https://freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wa ... utgraphics). Will be a lot faster.

Thanks, with all this linux stuff I am another day behind on the game development competition. Luckily, this thread issue seems solved.

I know nothing about the expect script, but it only seems to complicate things. I changed the testing code. Irrelevant stuff out. Added error checking. I also added a graphics screen, because I don't how to start a terminal screen when starting the program from desktop. #Include "crt/pthread.bi...

A collision detection routine (and example) where the position of the circle (at the mouse position) is corrected when colliding with a rectangle. The routine is a bit long, probably room for improvement. Also, when the mouse-cursor is inside the rectangle, there is a preference for on top or below ...

Shouldn't this topic be a sticky one (always on top)?

You can make 'root' the 'owner' of the file / program and set the 'SUID/GUID bit'. This way the program is executed a superuser and can be started by a normal user. I have never tried this myself however. Some heavy reading: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/79395/how-does-the-sticky-bit-work...

The full code is:... That does not seem like the full code. Cannot run it, parts missing. If your program needs superuser rights, why not run your program as superuser? 'sudo ./myprogram' Then no need to store your password in a .bas file. BTW: I have been using linux for ~8 years now, but I am cer...

But I got what looks like a file listing It is: "ls". But the file listing is done with 'administrative rights' Not sure what you actually want to do, but "ls" can be replaced with the actual program or command you want to do. To run administrative tasks in Linux, you must have ...

On Ubuntu, this seems to work:

On Ubuntu, a normal user can have superuser rights (for some time). The actual root account is not used.

I think the NSA noticed your crypto activities and remotely changed your Intel cpu with their backdoor in Windows.

Check, PCG32II with your test program (above) works fine.

I did get a significant difference, maybe your c-compiler back-end understands that the first loop does nothing? And reduces it to nothing?

I saw a windows.bi which my pc probably does not understand.
