Win 10 One of these methods should work. #include "file.bi" Sub savefile(filename As String,p As String) Dim As Integer n n=Freefile If Open (filename For Binary Access Write As #n)=0 Then Put #n,,p Close Else Print "Unable to save " + filename End If End Sub Function loadfile(fi...

Hi! I'm blind and I want develop a game engine for the blind and i choose freebasic for the portability because there's one call blastbay game toolkit(BGT) but it's only for windows I need some help to make a .bi for the libbrlapi from the project brltty to make possibility to control braille displ...

This is purely pre processed. #lang "fb" for x as long=1 to 5 next x #ifdef x print "OK",x,__FB_LANG__ #else print "NOT OK",__FB_LANG__ #endif #lang "fblite" sleep With the rnd code, the last call to rnd determines the future method, (not the previous, so not ...

Looks like the rnd function is pre processed. I try to capture rnd 1, 5 (Win32 Crypto API, Linux /dev/urandom) by creating a pointer to the function. I know that rnd 5 cannot be re seeded, so I expect the totals to be different, but suddenly my pointer seems to point to the twister without my permis...

GDI code with video screen size found. Or you can use your own gfx screen (handy for audio files). Write down a path to a file, or if no path then the openfile window shows. #define WIN_INCLUDEALL #include "Windows.bi" #include "win/mmsystem.bi" #Include once "/win/commctrl....

I quite enjoy trying to code games, but not playing them (especially this) I follow the rules approximately, with only one killer box (red). No globals, but cheated by using two byref functions to simulate two globals. Use the mouse rather than the keyboard, start off with the eater box in the botto...

Some Irish examining boards I believe award up to 110 percent.
The extra ten percent is earned if you spell your name correctly at the top.
So more than 10 out of 10 is acceptable.
Thanks UEZ.

Thanks for testing srvaldez.
Using deltarho[]'s rnd.
i.e.
#undef Rnd
#define Rnd x128.randD

And still using the skew (log10) generator, it is very fast, about six seconds here for 8 numbers, which beats the c generator (randomize 0,1)

I have fixed my tetris so box 1 is always a vertical row. This gives an even start for tests. The random numbers to fill the tetris, if a bit skew, seems to work well. So I start with a simple skew generator.(line 119) I also have deltarho[]'s generator in place, you can test it, just un comment the...

The mciSendString topic is huge, it must have taken many Microsoft coders a while to perfect it, I daresay they continually update it. When you think that most windows computer users are not in the least bit interested in coding, rather a great deal of interest in photos, movies, online TV, e.t.c. t...

Albert has contributed to this forum in many ways, for a long time. For instance has made the fastest big number multiplier, he has made a parser, he has made games in opengl, he has extensively used win api and solved a few problems with his code with little help. He never brags about his work. He ...
