Re: Win 7, in fullscreen mode using Alt+Enter ends program

The log is 22k odd lines of system operations. The program sits idle after creating it's thread, and then 5 seconds later (when I us...

Where is link to binding for libtcod 1.5.1 for freebasic?

I have not been able to find a link to the FB Binding for libtcod 1.5.1 as mentioned in another thread.

Anyone know where that might be?

Re: Win 7, in fullscreen mode using Alt+Enter ends program

Here is code that exemplifies the problem better.

Run the program, then press Alt + Enter.

This ends the program for me, (on Win 7)

However, with the do...loop trapping there should be no exit, as far as I understand.

Code: Select all

screen 17,,,1
? "Hello World"
do
loop

Re: Color display error in fullscreen mode

Hmmm. Is this an error in the compiler, or is there a more robust way to define colors so they work in both normal and full screen modes?

Re: Project layout

I use a separate .bas file for each different section of code that has a distinct purpose, with a header file for each. Then I only need to include the dear files when one file needs to access functions in another file. Currently my game code is separated into these files, with some having only a fe...

Re: How to structure If/Else?

Of course you see the problem. If the first condition is true then both lines get executed accomplishing nothing. I went through help looking for if/else formats trying every combination I can think of and keep getting "Else without If" errors. Can someone point me in the right direction?...
