Another option is to use ASM with AVX / AVX2 instructions: Each YMM register can hold and do simultaneous operations on eight 32-bit single-precision floating point numbers. So basically if the algorithm could be optimally transformed you could gain almost 8 times the speed. Realistically it could b...

Maybe it's faster if you change this by using less divisions df=((-1e12 /Rgquadro)/Rgquadro/Rgquadro)+.4 also you could change the select case: 'Maybe ? Dim as Double Rgquadro If Rglue >140 Then df=9512/((Rgquadro)) Else If rglue>= 10 Then df=((-1e12 /(Rgquadro*Rgquadro*Rgquadro)+.4 Else df=0 NUM_ER...

Keywords like Name, Width, Color can't be used as properties or membervars in types, that's a bit annoying. That would be no problem if most keywords get out of global namespace.

If you work with RANDOM files and Type records it's important not to use "As Integer" . Just "as Integer" could be 4 byte or 8 byte weather you compile for a 32 or 64 bit platform. . So if at some point you are changing platform, it would break file format compatibility and you c...

I have been thinking for a while about the quirks and about namespaces or some sort of package system. I would introduce some sort of auto namespace mode, which reflects the directory structure. Also things like an auto include mode or a compiler project / options file would be nice to have some com...

This code does the same as Joshy's but can be run from both QB and FB. So with QB you could actually write readable code.

Regular expressions are very useful: search pattern: ^(\t*)[ ]{3,5} replace with: $1\t Explanation: linebeginning followed by arbitrary number of tabs followed by 3-5 spaces and replaced by preveoiusly found tabs + one tab replacing 3-5 spaces. search and replace several times with notepad++ Spaces ...

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...
