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 ...

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-...

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;...

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...

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 ...

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....

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 ...

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.

Wow, this is amazing.

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...?

You can say the declarations are purely for use by the compiler all you want, but in practice header files are incredibly useful since *they contain the declarations*. Otherwise, you have to hunt for the implementation and look up its parameters (which might not even be available, especially when li...

I'm really glad that this competition is growing traction! Should I do a special edition "FINAL" issue of QB Express to commemorate it? Would anyone be interested in writing something? Also, I would like to contribute an additional $100 into the winner's pot. (PayPal, Lachie?) I won't hav...
