Wow, what a great milestone. My deepest thanks to all the devs over the years, from v1ctor and onward, that have led to this quite historic milestone for FB. FB is still my favorite language and despite all the doubts, even mine, FB has managed to grow and mature. Thanks for all the hard work over t...

It is really the only way to do it. Any programs that shows a portion of a map or graphics is using this technique.

In my Deep Deadly Dungeon game I had maps larger than the view area. What you need to do is to create a viewport and display that on the screen. Here is the code I used to create a viewport. 'get the view coords i = player.pcoord.x - (w / 2) j = player.pcoord.y - (h / 2) If i < 0 Then i = 0 If j < 0...

Thanks. Chladni are actually vibrations in plates and were discovered by Ernst Chladni. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Chladni. I am using the equations on Paul Bourkes page. http://paulbourke.net/geometry/chladni/index.html

FbEdit has everything you need in an IDE including a form designer. I am not sure what else you would need. I have been using it since it first came out and it has met every need I have had in the time I have been using it. I have built both simple and complex applications and it has been a pleasure...

Hey, jofers, long time no see (very long time, heh). Rel, Dr_D and jofers.. it feels like 2004 again. I wish! lol... me too. I think I was more intelligent back then. Maybe I just had more drive. I think I need to stop worrying about all these wars and political stuff so much and just start having ...

Hi rdc, how do I view the book? When I try to visit or download the zip it takes me to google which shows the contents of the zip but not to download it as a whole. Looking forward to reading it. Sorry, I was doing some house-cleaning and forgot to update the link. It should work now. There is a zi...

The Last Mission is a story demo program I did in FreeBasic a while back. I moved it over to my Google site: https://sites.google.com/site/rickclark ... astmission.

In case you don't know, LBAR is a step-by-step tutorial on creating a roguelike game in FreeBasic.

Nice one. I'll have a go at it myself, but I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!

Hey folks, it has been a while. I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to drop in and let you know what is up. I was out of work for a while, and things were quite stressful as you can imagine. My daughter lives with us with her kids and we battled sickness all winter as did a lot of people. T...

Cool stuff.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I really haven't made much progress on this project. I just don't have much time these days, and fighting off the various sicknesses going around here has killed most of my free time. This has given me time to think though, and I realized that I don't really want to do...

Heh. That's the plan. :)
