You certainly can make a Win API application (I think that's what you meant) with FreeBASIC. I made my first (and only) one from an example file in the FreeBASIC windows examples directory. Coding the application in FreeBASIC is probably a lot easier than in C, but I still found it quite a steep lea...

Vista and the Win API

Does Vista require a revised Win32 API library? The problem seems to be library related - whether I use BCX or FreeBASIC to create a Win32 window (non-OpenGL), the result is fine on Win 98, 2k, and XP. But on Vista, there exists empty bands in the window where nothing is plotted. http://www21.brinks...

I like several things about Basic4GL: it's good for OGL tests, the IDE editor provides useful help and the speed, as mentioned, is not bad - but the size overheads can be considerable. For an OGL example present in both and FreeBASIC and Basic4GL (the spinning pyramid and cube) the standalone exe is...

Nice - achieves a lot in a small amount of code.
But on Windows, I needed to add a sleep for the program to be responsive:

Code: Select all

End If
    
    SLEEP
   
    If Multikey(SC_Q) Then zoom *= 2 : redraw = 1

Really nice demonstration h4tt3n in both graphics and code - wish I'd seen this thread before. (On one program run, the Earth's moon got detached and became a planet - guess the calculations occasionally go wrong? Or just another bug in Vista...)

Spaces may help to develop RSI sooner (4 spaces to 1 tab in my editor).
Might not be a problem when you're young, but after 30 I started noticing it.

Yes, very funny, to me at least. An example that richly deserves to be featured on the 'unmaintainable code' website.

I'd need a shot of crack directly in my eye to be able to maintain code like this.
Love it cha0s!

Striking effect and animation. Seems like an original concept to me. Perhaps it would make a good screensaver with Jofers SS kit?

One of the best tree fractal implementations I've seen.
Especially like the way the 'trunks' overlap the 'foliage' - makes the tree look more natural.
