I have an idea. Bring back the Offtopic forum, but just link to Discord.

Re: Gas64 (no more use of gcc, only gas) :-)
Hey sorry if this has already been answered, but the thread is very long. Can someone explain what this thread is about to me? Does "No GCC, only GAS" mean FB no longer has to be compiled to C/C++ first in order to be processed by GCC? Instead, FB source would compile straight to assembler...

Re: Has anyone looked into Jai?
Of course one could dynamically allocate memory and fill it with the table values at run time, but maybe that is too costly. I dunno. It is 100% too costly. You're trying to run a game at 30 - 60 FPS that has buffers and caches for a ton of different things. You might have thousands upon thousands ...

Re: Has anyone looked into Jai?
I am not bothered in the least of course, but I am confused. I can tell. I'm not trying to promote anything. I thought it was interesting is because of implications to compiler architecture that could carry over to FBC. JAI is accomplishing a lot while keeping things like multi-pass minimal or non-...

Re: Has anyone looked into Jai?
This looks promising, but ... return x + y + z ; ... why do we need semicolons in 2019? I never got why a programming language would need a semicolon as its line delimiter. Either use 0x0A or simply don't use a line delimiter at all. It's not harder to parse this x=1+2 y=3+4 than this x=1+2; y=3+4;...

Re: Has anyone looked into Jai?
Jonathan Blow (renowned game developer and critic) is developing a programming language called Jai that seems to be doing some pretty neat stuff. There's a meta language, lots of features that would typically be only in multi-pass compilers, but I think Jon has managed to keep that kind of thing at...

Re: adding FreeBASIC to the TIOBE index
I'm not sure if FreeBASIC was ever listed on this index, but I noticed it's no longer available on the Debian performance tests: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/ FreeBASIC was never a huge competitor in any major mainstream space (as far as I'm aware). I think some niche ...

Re: Forum Moderators
They're cranky old autists I find it pretty unfair to call MrSwiss a cranky old autist. It is generally a very bad sign if members of a forum start using such kind of language; it normally means somebody is short of arguments. Insults should never ever be part of a professional person's vocabulary....

Re: Forum Moderators
FreeBASIC's Forum is not the only forum I'm a member of, and I actually still have a young and active professional life. My perspective is as follows - there has not been a single time where someone outside of here has yelled at me in any form that they do here WITH CAPITAL LETTERS or even ENTITLED ...

Re: Forum Moderators
Capital letters mean you're super serious.
My biggest issue being a mod here would be not laughing over how riled up the autists in the forum get over the absolute most petty stuff.

Re: Gameboy emulator written in FreeBasic
If anyone builds for Windows, having a Windows distribution (with binaries) would be best. In my experience, that's usually how Windows applications are deployed: https://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php
I might give it a go. Will GTK+3 work? Or is this GTK 2, or...?
