Eeew!

Just had to say that.

Yeah I know about RGB, but i'm not fine tuned with that. So I was just wondering. But if theres not a list I guess I could create a program to list it... You want to create a program that could potentially list 2^32 colours (depending on your colour depth; if you're using 16bit colour it'll be 2^16...

Whatever happened to using a global search and replace?

There's nothing syntactically wrong with it, but look over your code, and try to understand what it's doing. You don't assign values to a or b, so they will default to some random value (most likely 0). This statement: c=a+b Doesn't work anything like you expect. It's saying "add a and b and pu...

I suggest posting in the original thread you started instead of creating a new thread each time you want to post.

Actually, 'struct' and 'class' are the exact same construct in C++. The difference is that members of structs are by default public. Members of classes are by default private.

I will worry about style after I master FreeBasic. As you will find out, part of mastering FreeBASIC IS worrying about style. I suggest looking up OOP if you haven't already, as it is not only the dominant programming style in use today, but FB will (I hope) be embracing most of the object-oriented...

No, because #undef is a preprocessor directive, and as such cannot work on regular variables.

I use gosub all the time. I am an old-time BASIC programmer and gosub is one of the handiest ways to call a commonly used routine in a program without having to worry about exactly which variables need to be passed like you do with a function or whatever else.. SUBs and FUNCTIONS don't technically ...

C++ does (std::string).

Do you need tutorial authors?

I'm planning on doing an RTS tutorial series, possibly in both C++ and FB, and this would be a good place to host it. Though, I'm not sure how I'd make that work since the C++ engine would be OOP, and the FB version would not..

i just wanted ppl to tell me their experiences and problems with coding games in FB with regards to memory You probably know this already, but always remember to release the memory you allocate. If you don't want to have to worry about that, you can always use smart pointers, or even write your own...

Couple of issues I have with it as it is now:

1. Don't forget to add other programming languages into the list.

2. Is it a game DESIGN website, or a game PROGRAMMING website? There's quite a large difference, you know...
