Looks very much like a real tree. Are you able to add texture to the trunk? Placing Randomize at the start gave lots of better variations.

@Joshy,

Thank you for the update.

Although it has been a long time recently I have being playing around again with visual code using the escapi.bi

@badidea,
Keep up the good work. I can't seem to get excited about programming at the moment but drop in occasionally to see what is happening here.
@Paul Doe,
I remember your 3d playground in your GitHub repository. Made me realise how far I was from being able to go beyond 2d graphics.

Maybe someone can do a 3d version adding baubles on the way? Maybe shade branches according to the direction they are growing? const as single M_PI = 3.141592654 type sgl2d as single x, y declare constructor declare constructor(x as single, y as single) end type constructor sgl2d end constructor con...

The reason for that is it makes it easier to line up a sprite to move between tiles.

Yes I meant a map editor. I also wrote a simple tile editor and sprite animation editor. However they are only as good as your art and animation skills. A game engine lays the software framework to build and create video games. They provide features from animation to artificial intelligence. Game en...

It appears that with the purchase you get "ready-to-use App and Game Templates and something about being able to reskin an app? Maybe the graphics were for the Treasure Miner game and are just being given out. Longer example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFC0Q1pxeBg This seems similiar with ...

So how is it going so far? Makes sense to use other people's images when artistically challenged as you can always change them later without changing the code. The images can make a big difference. I duplicated some of the coding of the Wonderboy game. When I used the image data from the real game i...

It might be worth remembering that a C++ for() loop does not increment the loop counter itself. That's what the 3rd term is for. You can do an infinite loop with for(;;). It's basically a fancy syntax for a type of while loop. Ok thanks for that. My limited knowledge of C++ has faded over years of ...

Thanks Joshy I will give it a try later.

My effort? #include <iostream> using namespace std; int left = 15; int n = 13; int size = 1; int main() { for (int left = 0; left < n; left += 2*size){ cout << "Hello world!" << endl; } return 0; } dim as integer lefto = 15 dim as integer n = 13 dim as integer size = 1 for lefto = 0 to n-1...

Thank you for your responses.

Where did you type locate vlc.bi ?
All I can find in my FreeBasic folder is fbc_linux_armv7a_hf_debian
The bin, doc, inlcude and lib folders seem empty.
The vlc.bi is in the Windows version of FreeBasic.

Sorry brain glitch!! I had been trying to compile it on windows10. It has been some time since I last ran a FreeBASIC program on the RPi and my knowledge and experience with Linux has been very limited. The example code and vlc download stuff was on a ram stick. The Linux directory system is a littl...
