@yzfwsf, It seems easy to do with Python using opencv and tesseract. Not sure how to translate that to a FreeBASIC version. https://towardsdatascience.com/read-text-from-image-with-one-line-of-python-code-c22ede074cac img = cv2.imread('bitcoin.jpg') text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img) print(text...

The problem for your average programmer is not a lack of graphic tools, the problem is not being able to draw or paint let alone animate :)

@badidea I thought OOP was to prevent modifications breaking the code? I don't know. Maybe if you are good at it. And if you are capable of doing the full design before actual coding. Which I cannot. Maybe for a next project I try without OOP and see what happens. But with 'structs', else I go crazy...

Hold the space bar down to work the drill and the arrow keys to move the miner. chdir exepath() #include once "FBImage.bi" const TMAPW = 20 'size of tile array const TMAPH = 15 const TILEW = 64 'size of tile const TILEH = 64 const WINW = 640 'size of window over BMAP const WINH = 480 const...

@badidea I thought OOP was to prevent modifications breaking the code? My coding is rather simple much as I coded on the old machines like the c64. I try and break it down into modules that only do one thing. The reason I deleted the post was it was rubbish (I thought) and I wasn't happy with the co...

@badidea I have had time to spend on reworking game "engines" and try out some game ideas. I have played with the same graphics you are/were using but the code has to adapt to the images not the other way around. For example the cracking of a tile involves an overlay not a cracked image. I...

Doing a blog of your OpenGL learning journey to share the issues and solutions you find along the way may be a useful resource for others. There is always the issue that people have different starting points. Learning a programming language is not the same as learning how to use the language to obta...

@Tourist Trap Remove the comment symbol from, 'Draw String(w\4-50,110),"fbgfx cube" 'Draw String(3*w\4-50,110),"openGL cube" Personally I couldn't pick the difference. However I assume openGL can easily do a lot more than rotate a simple cube? Love dodicat's demo code even though...

Another nice demo :) I made two copies of your program. I deleted the include window.bi and gl\glu.bi and what I believe was OpenGL code from one copy and deleted what I believe was mainly fb code from the other copy. The frame rate for the fb only code was steady around 58 and 59 frames per second ...

@dodicat I also use FBIDE but if you look at your posted code all the end if statements are bang up against the left border. Below I have gone through your code and restored the indentations as it makes it easier for me to read. 'dodicat https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28415...

The biggest problem for me is often: How do the classes communicate. For example, the miner needs to interact with the world. In this case, the world is a single line. How do I tell the miner where this line (floor) is, so it does not drop into oblivion. @badidea It is not an issue for me as I don'...

That is a neat little demo almost enough to make me want to learn more about openGL so I can untangle the code :)
What I have noticed with a lot of your example code is erratic indentations?

... the 'BASIC' mindset ( doEverythingForMe() kind of coding). Of course I have the 'BASIC' mindset that is why I am using FreeBASIC instead of C++ :) I once used to use C++ with the Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE which for a while had these "packages" that would install libraries for you....

Inside the raylib-2.6.0-Win32-mingw zip, in the /bin folder, it's the binary (the .dll) you need. Dump it into the folder where the examples are. You should then be able to run them. Now it complains "The code execution cannot proceed because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the ...

Where should I extract the raylib-2.6.0-Win32-migw folder to?
I extracted the raylib-fb-master folder to C:/FreeBASIC/
