Three issues I see,,,

#1. Running a tight loop without a Sleep can hog the CPU.
#2. Randomly you are printing the BELL character which blocks the console until the beep sound is finished playing
#3. IIRC the Timer only has an accuracy down to 15ms.

This is just my personal opinion (no echo from Jeff): I think support for Interfaces would be outstanding but would also require compatibility with Is and TypeOf and probably others. I have really become accustomed to the Class/Interface pattern and find it a great method for organizing functionali...

I was curious what was the future intention for the 'Class' keyword? Right now FB recognizes it as a reserved keyword, but I don't see any use for it currently. Would it make sense to treat it similar to Type? I was just curious what features it would have beyond what Type offers.

I've been away for a while. I just popped back in to see what's new with FreeBASIC and it's nice to see a lot a familiar users still around! Reading through some of the threads and laughing at how things never change. Same gripes and rants just different people writing them! :D I came back because I...

Wish I had seen this sooner. I love these competitions. Sadly my father passed in December and I've been too busy to check the boards. Thanks Lachie for giving me the heads up but I don't think I can get a game together in 7 days.

Another example, I don't like the syntax: If Len(string) Then ... Obviously this syntax compiles well and works but this code BASIC is not "clean" in my humble opinion, because the expression 'Len (string)' is neither true nor false, but conversely the expression 'Len (string) = 0' is tru...
