As far as I know, you can't do that (without patching the compiler), iirc the compiler has to do special magic to deal with that kind of evil syntax. By doing some things that probably violate the Geneva Convention, I managed to write something that differs from your desired syntax by at most 3 char...

Well, your SET MODEs and part of the meaning of your SET WINDOW lines can be done with SCREENRES (See http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=KeyPgScreenres) And I think it will look like: screenres 90,100,8 Which should make you a window 90x100 pixels in size, and in a 256 colour graphics mod...

It seems like it should, note that... Declare Sub FindIt overload (TComma As String,FindStr As String) Declare Sub FindIt overload (T() As String,FindStr As String) Sub FindIt (TComma As String,FindStr As String) print "normal called" end sub Sub FindIt (T() As String,FindStr As String) pr...

I don't think cha0s' point was that that made it legitimate to crack the site, just that visitors to most other sites shouldn't be too worried of encountering the same problems.

Is this using the actual windows controls?

Normally we don't want shared variables, this means we can write subs and functions as separate entities, which is much easier to think about.

As to your other question, what is NULL? I think it has to be a constant for that code to work.

I could only complain that some parts of the scenery seems a little too bland (like the grass). I like the "bland" grass, I prefer more subtle, natural colours to some of the more cartoony graphics styles. Mind you I'm just judging by screenshots, being on linux. I'll try poking it with W...

Maybe rather than sticky this bloated thread, the map can just be mentioned in the sticky thread in this subforum anyway, as an external link? Also, while I love the idea of a map of FB users, frappr really, really annoys me (trying to change my location since I moved to uni has been a nightmare) bu...

Well, I thought it might be able to cut down the "have you done this or that?" type suggestions, but yeah, you've shown me that the utility/effort would be low. Anyway, I still like the o.p.'s idea. Maybe just an explanation for each one would suffice. (If such a thing exists on the wiki a...

I think that this is a good idea. I wonder if the system would also be able to make use of the source to provide more "intelligent" help. (For example, if it's an undeclared variable, it could search variable declarations for something similar)

I think the let(a,b) = x thing came in a little while after the let a = x thing went out, let was just a useful word to use there (had a precedent, at least for old time BASIC-ers). Also, I don't think the "let" makes it any more mathematical. If you saw: let b = 5 let a = b let b = 12 in ...

Just to defend the good name of Firefox, I can log in fine.
Mind you, I might not be a firefox fanboy for much longer, depends how fast google release chrome for linux.

Introduced as an arbitrary person, Billy demonstrates the "dim as integer foo" syntax in natural English. The three men, Thomas, Richard and Harold, illustrate that this is the most normal method for typing a list of names. ;P On the topic of ==, of course, being rational, I wouldn't care ...

I like the look. Oddly, it does a few things I don't normally like in webdesign, but I think the overall effect is really nice.

I'm with the (y,x) form being the standard, and therefore good. I think that for people who know what it is, they should already know about the standard (y,x) order, and therefore expect it, since it is a standard function. If people find the y,x thing weird, maybe we can just call them a and b ;P. ...
