Here is another word list. Just remove all 1-2 char words with regexp and then you could manually modify the file further.

regexp search and replace with editor:
^([a-z]{1,2})\r\n

1. I don't believe in work. 2. I believe in a cushy lifestyle. Good food, clean water, nice clothes. I love programming but I might love the beach even more! Hamburg is the 2nd biggest city of Germany and the biggest city in Europe which is not a capital. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg It's ...

Nanoships Strike Force one Year 2357.. The battle for the Belt seamed over. The Federation of Free Nations had lost. But a breakthrough in nanotechnology made the conventional Warships vulnarable. The future of space war begins... Sofisticated autonomous nanoship factories produce and maintaine clou...

Clearly this project is way beyond my abilities to contribute with all the complexity you are all talking about Well, i didn't mean to make things more complex. If realtime is too complex, we just use a turn based approach. If physical correct is to hard, so be it. It's a game with its own rules. M...

Instead of using bidirectional pipes for the exchange of messages between the simultation server and the virtual agents ( ai bots) it would be more flexible to use udp or tcp/ip. So you could easily setup an enviroment with even thousands of bots running on different machines. Or you can run each bo...

Whenever I see a new ai programming contest framework thread, i remember RealTimeBattle . Ah, I see where you are going with this, to protect the the host computer. - a valid concern that can't be ignored, however, - it seems to me, counterproductive, to create a FB challenge that asks the entrant t...

As you stated in your first post: Ideally, for a database one would have the definition of the data variables (type, length) independent form the code that manages the data. To create this in freebasic seems rather complex to me and probably wiser to use an actual database tool (e.g. mysql or someth...

I took your idea to show some more oop features. Const CATS_AVG_WEIGHT=5.0 Const DOGS_AVG_WEIGHT=10.0 ' ### Declaration ### type tanimal extends object '' ***** protected : dim as string _name dim as double _weight public : Declare Constructor (n As String="unkown",w As Double=0.0) Declare...

I would LOVE to have direct MySQL support but I have no way of having "offline" support (if the database server or back office computer was switched off) as I can not run local version of MySQL on the machines I have as it would slow them down WAY to much. I wonder what is happening now, ...

I would design classes for shorter and more friendly oop code. I also like Java interfaces. -members private like in C++ or maybe protected as default. -No Declare statements needed. -Define member procedures inline and virtual -2 pass compiler / parser would be needed -class extends automatically o...

Allways use local integer/uinteger variable as index for small arrays. It should be safer and faster. You can also use lbound / ubound if array size is dynamic or if you change it later sometimes.

You know that you could split your code into modules? So you only need to recompile the changed ones.

I am trying to implement a plugin extension for fbc. I am successfully loading plugins and call init and visitor functions. But where should i put the callback visitor functions in the compiler? I am absolutly lost. I tried in ast-node-proc at the end of: function astAdd( byval n as ASTNODE ptr ) as...

Zstring*31 - that was simple!

Thank you. srvaldez
