I'm sure most people have seen how cats can manipulate humans, imagine what a super-brain could do.

Indeed, by being fluffy and extra cute. I'd want to see a 'super-brain' try to pull that one off...

That being said, I don't think AIs will replace cats anytime soon, IMHO.

Because there isn't any. The 'screen' is just a memory buffer, and how it is rendered depends on the driver used (DirectX, OpenGL, none).

But I cannot explicitly reference '&' as an index in the list without also quoting the string concatenation operator '&' , and therefore make it a special case by explicitly quoting that operator only. That is why I am so bothered ! ... Disambiguation pages, like in Wikipedia? Where you hav...

Would help us if you describe what you're trying to achieve? Working with off-screen buffers? Paging?

Sure enough:

The line in question is:

Code: Select all

    w = sp.ci(c).image->width

It's not as 'simple' as it might appear at first glance. For example, what happens when you have arrays of complex types (that might also include arrays of complex types as well)? Or arrays of types that refer to other types (via pointer)?

Aborting due to runtime error 7 (null pointer access) at line 411 of C:\Programming\other-projects\freebasic-games-main\space_invaders\assets.bas::MAKEBASES() To catch these kind of errors, compile the code with the -exx switch and run the executable from the command line (so you can see the output).

Mr Driller is certainly a lot more complex than the original Boulder Dash game. Falling tetris like blocks. Complex graphic effects. My interest was always in the coding challenge, not playing the game, so I guess I can't complain about the complexity. However I think a game can still be addictive ...

Looking really nice so far. Sometimes, original ideas are hard to come up with. The next best thing, then, is taking an old idea and interpret it differently. Look at the successful games out there. Not all of them have 100% original ideas (most of them don't, in fact), but they take a tried and tru...

... Like your project, it is basically abandoned, because I have no real use for it: it works, but on Windows or Linux it's pretty useless (what is the point of having a window with its own windowing subsystem inside? All those windows would still be drawn with FreeBasic primitives, and would still...

Greetings, Since in FreeBasic one can use pointer for various needs,sometimes may be as heavily as possible,I am wondering whether there is any valgrind-like tool exists to help detecting memory leakage,or what is the right to do to write a safer and more rubust program? Thanks for the help in adva...
