If you want a pure FB version, then you could translate https://github.com/grom358/hqx/blob/master/src/hq2x.c - the code looks long, but it looks easy to translate - I can't see anything that would be difficult to write in FB. EDIT: in the other thread we learned that a 64MB RGBtoYUV table is needed...

http://games.freebasic.net/forum/index.php?topic=40.0 links to a zip file containing an hq2x library.
But it looks like the library itself has no source code available, and only works for 16-bit image buffers.

Agreed - there's no real reason (from a user perspective) to have a non-zero exponent for zero. Would you mind opening an issue at https://github.com/freebasic/fbc/issues?

This error can also be seen in the default FB dialect, but only if the variable is declared: test1 '' Variable not declared dim test2 as integer test2 '' Expected '=' At a guess, I would say that when FB sees a single variable on a line, it tries (and fails) to parse it as many kinds of statement - ...

Why is FB so damn complicated? ... Weird... A simple example works fine for me: #include "crt.bi" dim as zstring*10 zs = "1234", zd = "ABCD" print zs, zd memcpy(@zd, @zs, 4) print zs, zd Maybe there's something elsewhere in the code that's breaking calling conventions ...

Just to say, with Endian-specific code, it’s probably best to abstract out the byte swapping and only use it in code that reads/writes the values from/to the code. This is the only part of the code that needs to be Endian-specific. That way, you can work in your native Endian format, whichever it ma...

Hey, thanks Pritchard, that’s a pretty neat extension of the idea. I didn’t think of that.
It’s interesting to see what the preprocessor can be capable of.

I quite like that monochrome gradient effect. It would be interesting to see how it might scale to three or more colours.
There is room for some optimisation. You loop over x in the outer loop, which means you could cache the ‘x / winx’ value every column.

Does it tell you why it can’t connect to https://sourceforge.net?

What I can say is that sourceforge is blocked on my tablet because of the built-in browser that can not read ssl. Does it say why it doesn’t like Sourceforge’s HTTPS? Many sites, including freebasic.net, will now force you to connect with SSL, so you would also have difficulties with those. Any usa...

This is a 'CFOR' macro that on use, runs the 'start' statement and sets up a while loop. It also creates a corresponding 'CNEXT_' macro - which is used for running the 'step' and marking the end of the loop. Unfortunately you cannot nest CFOR statements, because CNEXT_ can only hold one definition. ...

There is a bug in the freebasic compiler. There are 9 declare functions in pblib2.bi And yet the compiler only complains about one of them. declare function PNG_LoadFile stdcall alias "PNG_LoadFile" (byval pPNGInfo as PNGINFO ptr, byval lpFileName as string) as integer The compiler says &...

If the problem is simply in determining where the device is mounted, you could try parsing /proc/mounts for the drive. I don't know if you can guarantee that your USB device will be detected as /dev/sdb though - or that the main partition will be sdb1. If you are running systemd (e.g. a recent Ubunt...

It looks like a few attempts have been made to convert TrueType fonts to ones that can specifically be printed with FB's Draw String. I've dug up a couple of past forum threads: https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23343 https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21916 Are th...

This may be a silly question, but is the icon (or at least the bitmap data for each size) stored in "cleartext" in the exe file, such that you can change the icon just by writing the icon data to the right area of the file?
