Hi Lachie, its good to hear from you. I have a few ideas of experiments I can try doing that use some advanced techniques to make improvements to simple games. I don't know how far I will get, but a competition could help motivate me to get something done. I'm curious to see what theme you will come...

It is certainly possible to stream things in memory. The best way of going about it will depend on what you need to accomplish. If you only need to handle string data, you can use string handling methods. If you need to stream data of arbitrary type, you can get the memory size of the data using the...

With the FreeBASIC graphics you can easily draw axis aligned squares (and rectangles), by passing the quirk parameter 'B' (which stands for 'box') to the line command. You can even have a filled square or box by passing 'BF'. ScreenRes 640, 480, 32 Line (100, 100)-(200, 200), , B Line (250, 100)-(35...

I don't know much about analog computing. I think that it would be acceptable for the computations to be analog, as long as the programs are still digital. I don't know how someone would design the right kind of hybrid system enabling digital programming of an analog system. The reason I insist the ...

Compiler output error, I probably don't have the latest FreeBasic compiler, error 3: Expected End-of-Line, found '(' in '#If SizeOf(Integer) = 8' Sorry I didn't realize that SizeOf can't be used inside of a pre-processor #If in fbc versions older than 0.90.0. I'm not aware of any way of distinguish...

I got to thinking about this, and it should be possible to compute a network like this more efficiently on a CPU by grouping neurons into word sized 'clusters'. This way the CPU can process a whole cluster of neurons in parallel using a single word sized operation. In what follows, I made a version ...

Have you tried compiling with -exx? CompilerOptexx

I am getting:
Aborting due to runtime error 6 (out of bounds array access) at line 166 of PathFinding.bas::GETGSCORE()

From what I understand, calling the timer is redundant. RANDOMIZE itself generates unique outputs each run, right? Yes, that is correct. Although the redundancy is only in the 6 characters of extra code it takes to write it out, since according to the documentation Randomize uses Timer to produce t...

This is a neat little model of computation you have here. Interesting to watch random networks go into semi-stable and periodic loops. I have noticed some inconsistencies in the code. type NEURON as integer i(4) 'four inputs as integer w(4) 'four weights for each input as integer c(4) 'neuron number...

I thought since so much discussion has been going on surrounding the new varlen UDT arrays, it might be nice to have a separate topic. The following appears to be a bug.. type node dim as string key dim as any ptr value end type type list as node nodes(any) end type dim as list l1 redim l1.nodes(0)...

this was created by me to control robots there is a 'game' called robocode were two tanks try to shoot eats other to play this game you write a program that contols a tank i had no idea how to write a program for thtat so i decided to use the computer for that This is a good use of GP. In a game it...

Obviously too brilliant for the journalists who wrote about it, and I never figured out how it was better than sitting down and writing the program yourself, or employing an infinite number of monkeys. It will not produce a better program, nor will it produce it very quickly, but it will produce a ...

Code saved as UNICODE is probably UTF16, so use I used WString, which is 2 bytes per character and was able to get correct output from MessageBox.
