Both very nice rotating cube demos. The compression of images into the source code is interesting. UEZ do you have code to make the data statements from images? I would see the compression and decompression of images as a separate Tips and Tricks example. UEZ's cube rotates toward the mouse. Dodi's ...

@gothon, Following your latest directions the build worked. It was missing ZLIB1.dll and MSCCR100.dll, which I downloaded into the same folder, for the FBPoL.exe to run. The little box guy moves too fast when I touch the arrow keys and still requires boundary and obstacle checks? Interesting that yo...

@BasicCoder2 You are very close, start the build from within the main folder (as you are already doing), but use the full path of your 'fbc' compiler. I actually have the 32bit and 64bit compilers in different directories, and specifying the compiler path enables me to switch quickly between 32 bit...

The actual Build Command is: fbc "Src\FBPoL.bas" "Src\PoL.rc" "Src\modTile.bas" "Src\modMenu.bas" "Src\modBASIC.bas" "Src\modGraphics.bas" "Src\modGameState.bas" "Src\modPlayerCode.bas" -x "Bin\*targ*\FBPoL.exe&quo...

... I will participate in Round 2 here is my Work In Progress (WIP) https://github.com/gothon/FBPoL Is it possible to have the README file open with NotePad? Moved the extracted .zip folder, FBPoL-master, into the C:/FreeBASIC/ folder However I have forgotten how to allow it to find files not withi...

I have the same issues with tar and rar
Pitto has it on github you can down load it as a .zip file from there

Interesting examples as I am interested in graphic programs.
I like that you can load an image from the net,

I noticed Landeel used drive.google.com/ which for some reason pops up a "Oops! There was a problem with the network" message but it still downloads the .zip file

Pitto used github.com which lists all the files and which you can download as a .zip file

@Landeel,
After trying to play your game again I see there is more to it than I realised. You seem to have the FreeBASIC theme well covered. Seems a nice professionally written shoot em up game.

@Pitto, Duplicating the common actions and feel of other game controllers would be important I think. Having your character not behaving "as expected" in response to your motor memory wired in by other games would be annoying. However with practice I have gotten a hang of controlling Victo...

Really I think a simple code example of GOAP in action would have more tutorial value if it isn't clogged up with fancy graphics and the need for a dll to be included so that the code concentrates more on the mechanics behind the simulation. It can still have a simple graphics display as was done in...

BasicCoder2, were you able to run v005 now? Haven't had time to modify the code as I have real life issues currently occupying my thoughts. Leopardpm wrote: This routine does not check for infinite loops which you can easily accidentally create by the way you define the actions effects & pre-co...

Do you have the runtime libraries copied out of the "put these in same folder as the BASIC program" folder? Yes. It still brings up a console window, beeps, the console window vanishes and I have just noticed that the FBIDE menu Run list is faded out and unusable meaning I guess a program...

... and now I have used up all my goblin animations! Perhaps use still images of the actions like those little figures in the image, "sample of possible Agetn graphics...about 48x48 each.png" Kind of a long title! When I try and compile GOAP Map Test v005.bas all I get is, Compiler output...
