Re: Database

Maybe you could provide a sample CSV file with at least 20 data rows and the header row?

Re: The problem with the Object Oriented Programing

The best tool for us would be the ability to choose the right solution for the right problem. And to determine that requires skill and experience. So, fear not any paradigm: expose yourself to them, as much as you can; the more the merrier. Assess their strenghts and weaknesses. I agree with you. S...

Re: Communicate with other program

I would go für TCP Sockets, which are especially fast for localhost connections on modern operating systems and also very flexible and reasonably easy to use. Memory mapped files/ named pipes are handled a bit differently between Linux and Windows. Maybe there exists a library to facilitate the use ...

GCC 9.4.0 abi compatible

It would be nice to mention in the release notes of FB that GCC 9.4 WInLibs package is compatible with FreeBASIC-1.09.0-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0. I wanted to compile Lua and SQLite and searched for winlibs-gcc-9.3, but almost gave up after an hour until i found out GCC 9.4. ... is a bug-fix release, contai...

Re: Observations.

I don't know how a permanent ban is handled internally now, but maybe it would be good if at least one additional moderator has to rewiew the matter, before a permanent ban is issued.

Re: What are you using FB for and what features do you use most?

I started with QBasic with 12 and later switched to QuickBasic. At university I learned Java, C and Scheme. At home I learned to circumvent the deficiencies of QB with libs written in NASM x86. For some years java had been my favourite for any GUI based program. Then I started working at a small com...

Re: Move graphics object on the screen

eliminates the use of This that's a matter of taste. For me it's clearer to use "this" and not to use underscore. Your example is quite complex for those who have not dealt with classes and types also does not clarify a thing fbgfx.bi is just a header file shipped with freebasic including...

Re: Are line label pointers possible?

Now such a routine gets changed and adds one more return value and you have to check all your ifs again. Exceptions allow many of the inbetween levels to just react to any exceptions and not all need to understand all the details (just to bring their own world in a consistent state again). I know w...

Re: Move graphics object on the screen

Just a starting point for OOP. U would need to implement into SpriteType procedures for moving and putting sprites to screen. Than you can create an array of sprites and it's a small step to play with 4 players and 4 cirlcles. And in the main loop you could place some sort of collission detection. #...

Re: Are line label pointers possible?

I really don't understand why there is any need for on error or goto. I.e. if you use the OpenFile or GetMouse Function you get a return value, which can be checked. You can jump out of any nested loop (FOR,DO,WHILE) by using FOR i = 1 TO 10 FOR j = 1 TO 10 FOR k = 1 TO 10 EXIT FOR, FOR, FOR NEXT NE...
