Thanks for the info. I will update the program and ebook.

I just compiled qsort.bas and I did not get any warnings or errors. It looks fine to me and runs correctly.

Those are just warnings but I will look at it. Thank you.

Btw, the formatting I am using in the book is the formatting I used in a Visual Basic book that I wrote back when I was a professional programmer. The formatting is the style the publisher used so I thought I would use the same type of formatting for this book. Unfortunately, after writing about 80%...

I have updated the zip file in the first post. I am slowly going through this and updating the Open Office document. The PDF is created after I have made edits to the doc file so two should be in sync. Thank you for the suggestions, I will get to them as I can. I do not plan on rewriting the existin...

That would be great.

Thank you.

Hello folks! It has been a while. I have gone through my old Deep Deadly Dungeons and fixed all the compile errors so it should compile under the current version of FreeBasic. There are still quite a few warnings but most, if not all, are with FMod and I didn't want to fiddle with that as it is work...

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...
