With Width tip for font size, I can see what I am doing! :) (Another go round with leftl and rightl as integer variables, FB did not like.) ;( OK since this is my first major effort, let me know what you think.

I had a rough night going round and round with a function named Word. Apparently FB doesn't like it but Wrd worked.

Is there a way to change the font size in the output screen?

Thanks Owen, dang how'd I miss that? There was a question about running variables with EVAL. For me, I plugged their values into the expression string before running it through the EVAL function as part of the evaluation string prep routine. There was mention of limiting EVAL, yeah forget about stri...

Hi Ircvs, Just picked up your link from SdlBasic, saw a couple videos and a host more lined up... WOW! I did a Turtle essence thing at Retrogamecoding, a minimalist kind of thing. Curious what your thoughts of it would be. Anyway, I am new fan! Append: Oh man! I was modifying your code (under the ot...

Another easy to understand EVAL() expression solver in FreeBASIC Good! thanks, I am starting to feel like I am back at school being piled with several books to read! Apparently I'm becoming a student of EVAL, I have worked a few versions at JB myself and was hoping for short way around. But as St_W...

Not sure if it is relevant to your question but I once had to try and work out a simple expression evaluator. http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23524&hilit=eval It was only for simple arithmetic although I don't see why transcendental functions couldn't be added. . Spot on!...

I can see that there would be all sorts of variable type declarations that would make this extremely difficult for FB. I think that, since math. can easily be done in FB, such an evaluator, makes not a lot of sense. Apart from the fact, that this would really be a speed brake (compared to straigt m...

Dodicat, thanks I think you are onto it. I like seeing Boolean operators included. I have worked math evaluator with nested parenthesis using recursion but I left out Booleans (and strings of course!). I will study.

I would like very much to see FB version / method to do EVAL In order to do that, we'd first need to have a description of the EVAL (command: function? / sub? / operator? and, input/output variable types etc.) ... With other words: what is EVAL "doing"? (in SmallBASIC) The EVAL function t...

I am thinking the old BASIC EVAL function (from early 90's that I can no longer find) would produce same results as I found in Wiki description of PCP and what you said about it here: http://www.thejoyfulprogrammer.com/qb64/forum/showthread.php?tid=850&highlight=precedence+climbing+parser&rn...

I am thinking that owen (and bplus) might also benefit from a proper Split routine (say a program line into an array) and Eval function (able to do strings as well as math) if any are handy. ;-)

I mean Python has this magic word called import that allows just about anything through the door.

this is what im watching in an effort to implement associative arrays in my entry for the contest using freebasic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UycDHbcWco0&spfreload=10 which is part 1. i am unable to watch part 2 because there is an add at the start and my connection to the internet is too ...

Here is a bowling project we did at SmallBASIC. It did not advance far from 2D but we had fun.

We tried it with images but found hand drawn pins could cover more angles (sort of).
