Nice!

You made the solver in freebasic as well?
How long did it took to find all the solutions?

Ok, I get the run-time error now, but I still think it is odd behavior. That reading behind eof gives an error, I understand. But that writing behind eof also gives an error, seems odd to me. I expect that the file simply increases in size. And that eof is set to the new position by the put statemen...

I don't believe that, since freebasic (as qbasic/quickbasic/powerbasic) starts counting at 1 at position zero (c-style). But even if I want too write 1000 bytes behind filelength it should write data, giving a file of 1060 bytes or something.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I think I found a bug with file I/O, concerning get, put & seek statements. See code: dim as integer file dim as string fileName = "buffer.tmp" dim as byte bufferOut(59), bufferIn(59) file = freefile 'Make file, write 60 bytes open fi...

Good Suggestions. - Right mouse button is a debug feature (if you define debug 0, it is disabled). - I have to look in to this flicker, removing 'screensync' in line 173 improves things. I have plans to implement an automatic solver and/or store found solutions, but this will take some time. Update:...

@rolliebollocks:

I will upgrade to the latest compiler version

Ubongo, seems to use smaller shapes as well, but this wikipedia item looks useful:

Hello all, I made small game in which you have to place tetris-like tiles in a square. There are about 2000 unique solutions, but finding 1 can be hard. I think a screen shot explains it all: http://www.xs4all.nl/~nr100/badidea/pentrix_fb.png My parents used to have this small puzzle game in real, s...

If the previous suggestion did not work, than read this:

Maybe, I should call it "International draughts" or "Polish draughts":

And tell me what the highest level is you can win from. I couldn't do more than level 3. (On slow computers, level 6 will be... well, not so fast).

As I said, have fun!

Hello all, I just made my first program in FreeBasic: a checkers program! It should work under windows. I did not get it graphics working under linux so far. Anyone a good idea how run it on a remote linux machine via an x-window server? '----------------------------------------------- OPTION EXPLIC...
