OpenGL is OpenGL no matter what language. Lighting is done the same way in all languages: Set up the vectors, assign them to the light, enable lighting, enable your light. A complete guide for OpenGL is available on the OpenGL website. It's called the Redbook (actually, it's called the Programmers G...

If you have a real lot of sprites then you may also want to implement a Octree Data Structure to separate your sprites, then do bounding box, then do pixel perfect.

Another way to do it would be to use GLUT to create your windows instead of freebasic.

Here is the OpenGL Redbook in HTML format: http://www.opengl.org/documentation/red_book/

GCC is 64-bit too.

Did you have all of GCC's optimizations turned on? GCC can optimize the hell out of your code if you set the flags correctly.

Sizeof gives me 4, len gives 4 and ubound 10. I was thinking it should be 40 bytes but I'm not sure.

Thanks

That's what I thought. Sizeof was giving you the size of the pointer to the array, not the array itself. Pointers on windows are 4 bytes.

I can't get it because the Mac version isn't out yet. I have this question though, does it load pages so fast because it spiders the current page?

What's it giving you? If it's giving you 10 then you want sizeof(integerArray) * sizeof(Integer); if it's giving you 4 then you want len(integerArray)

What is this doing? I'm a little confused. A = Image[BufferCount - 320] B = Image[BufferCount + 1] C = Image[BufferCount - 1] D = Image[BufferCount + 320] P = Image[BufferCount] If A <> D And B <> C Then If A = C Then P1 = C Else P1 = P If A = B Then P2 = B Else P2 = P If C = D Then P3 = C Else P3 =...

There's an existing C emitter? Wow, I have been gone a long time. I'll check it out, unfortunately I have a PPC Mac (yeah, it's old) and would have to change all of the bit field stuff to get it to work. I have an old Ubuntu box around here somewhere I just remembered, maybe I can work on it on that...

That's still in the works? Sure, I'll help work on that, problem is that I don't have a PC so I could only do code in actual C :? Wait, it's going to be C? What happened to C++, isn't Freebasic an object oriented language now? Sorry, been a while since I've been around here :P Does anyone here even ...

Is there a complete grammar FreeBasic out there? I got some free time while I job hunt and was thinking of porting FreeBasic to the Macintosh by taking the grammar to make a concrete parse tree and having the tree spit out stdc++ code.

If anyone wants to help that would be nice too :P

This could probably be done much easier by using a custom PUT routine instead of the prebuilt ones.

You could BSAVE the screen to sequentially named BMPs. Most media creators will load entire sequences all at once. I know that Quicktime will, from there export it to whatever format you'd like.
