As far a speed goes, if you need to perform this operation numerous times, consider making a Look-Up-Table for all your poke values... Dim Shared LUT(639,479) as Integer Dim X as Integer Dim Y as Integer For Y=0 to 639 For X=0 to 479 LUT(X,Y)=(Y*640)+X)*4 Next X Next Y You do these calculations one ...

Perhaps the sprites became unsynced because of the INCREASED timer resolution? The lower precision could have been masking the true sprite performance?

Something for me to further investigate! DOH! :-)

Further testing has revealed to me that the Timer function is not as accurate (on my system) as using GetTickCount. When using Timer, my sprites become unsychronized. Re-instating GetTickCount in my code keeps all my sprites 100% in sync. I'm not sure why since you said FB would institute the Perfor...

Maybe it can! :-) Not sure how accurate this is between platforms though.... *This version should cross compile. ' TimeSlice - by Vincent DeCampo 2007 ' Free to use and distribute. ' Feel free to mention me! :-) ' ' No Warranties given or implied ' Use at own risk #include "windows.bi"...

I would do this... Type Employee fname AS String lname AS String End Type Dim p(5) as Employee p(0).fname = "Akua Asamoah" print p(0).fname I didn't actually compile this but I think its correct. PS: I don't think this is the correct forum to post questions. :-) -Vince

I believe the only thing that makes this Win32 only is this call... Declare Function GetTickCounter Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTickCount" () As Integer I don't use anything other than Windows but I image you could substitute an equivalent function here and should work on any OS. :-) Cheers!

I just recently started using FreeBASIC and wanted to start contributing to the community. Here is some code which shows how I limit sections of code execution to a certain # of times per second. I use this code to limit sprite animations and sometimes my entire game loop. Hope someone finds this us...

If not for FBEdit I would not have even tried FreeBASIC. I have just recently started using FreeBASIC(4 weeks) and I love it, but the FBEdit is what I'm used to from VB.

Thanks to both FreeBASIC and FBEdit!

Ok. I changed my internal BackBuffer to 32bits and everything displays fine. Now the question becomes.... Why does this code.... ScreenRes 800, 600, 24, 2 result in a bit depth of 32 bits? According to the documentation, I should get a 24bpp screen but this is not the case. Also, is there a way to r...

Hello, I am new to FreeBasic but not programming. I have been re-coding a gaming engine and I have encountered a curious problem. I use internal DIBs to hold all my sprite animations and graphics. (I use this instead of the GFX library because (1. I am more comfortable with them, 2. I can use all th...
