You can write the functions or the functions prototype before the code, but yes, either of those must be both the function is called ie: declare function foo(bar as integer) as integer 'main code including call to foo function foo(bar as integer) as integer 'code end function or function foo(bar as ...

There are two method types subs and functions, functions return a value, subs don't. Both accept parameters.
I don't know what you mean by default data type.

Why not just use multikey?

I don't see why that's a problem, if I type \n in input nothing happens, so nothing should happen in this either. But thanks for the info.

@Rens Sorry and thank you. This should be bug free: textbox.bi 'Draw string/inkey input type 'Ray Britton (C) 2010 'Released under X11/MIT License #include once "fbgfx.bi" type TextBoxType private: as string message 'the string that draw string draws as string prompt 'prompt to show an inp...

Since chisock is missing off ch0as' servers for the moment, I've uploaded a copy to here , and here's a demo program showing how to use it, if the examples included with chisock aren't enough, it isn't written that well, as it wasn't meant for others to read, but since it might be useful here it is,...

Updated again, see last post please.

@Rens

Ah of course the space, thank you, that was quite silly of me to forget.

I did like the cursor, I plan adding on that blinks, as a full block (chr(219)) instead of a underscore though.

It is rather odd that we both made one, but this type of function is needed.

Removed, see last post.

@joseywales It should work fine there. I think.

Ah thank you, I was unsure of how to fix. Code updated.

Removed, see last post.

Hey all No idea if this that useful, but here it is anyway: This 'object' uses draw string and inkey to give you a transparent input function that doesn't pause the program. If anyone tries this program you'll notice a limitation, the text box area can't go off the screen. The red line background is...

I'd do this: #include "fbgfx.bi" screen 19,32 dim as fb.image ptr mouse mouse=imagecreate(32,32) 'or whatever bload(mouse,"cursor.bmp") setmouse 400,300,0 dim as integer mx,my,mb do getmouse mx,my,,mb put (mx,my),mouse,trans loop until mb>0 and for animated #include "fbgfx.b...

Most modern games seem to do this way, just have a few very large files that contain all the media.

And most can be opened and examined within seconds, so they are likely just steams of data like cha0s said.
