Last one of the bulb-idea. Now all dark bulbs blinking. Push buttons to stop blinking. ' Fltk_Bulb_Dark_Blinking.bas #include once "fltk-c.bi" dim as zstring ptr bulb_clear_xpm(...) => {@"32 32 24 1", _ @" c None",@". c #3F3924",@"+ c #414340",@"...

Next step is making the bulbs blinking. The idea is, to provide a message system from your proggie to the user. The different lights could have special meanings like: Yellow blinking: update available Red blinking: harddisc almost full Green blinking: new email arrived and so forth. ' Fltk_Bulb_Ligh...

Now i have so many tries, i can even make a darker version. ' Fltk_Bulb_Dark.bas #include once "fltk-c.bi" dim as zstring ptr bulb_clear_xpm(...) => {@"32 32 24 1", _ @" c None",@". c #3F3924",@"+ c #414340",@"@ c #554D2D",@"# c #6B6D6...

But this was not good enough. Lights must match together and green and blue added. ' Fltk_Bulb_Light.bas #include once "fltk-c.bi" dim as zstring ptr bulb_clear_xpm(...) => {@"32 32 24 1", _ @" c None",@". c #3F3924",@"+ c #414340",@"@ c #554D2D...

This is based on an idea i had when seeing the blue, yellow and red bulb icons. It is possible to give a signal, blinking bulb or whatever if something happens. Additionally you can press button to make bulb red anytime. ' Fltk_Pixmapbutton_Bulb.bas #include once "fltk-c.bi" dim as zstring...

That's easy. It's all based on this formula:

I try to avoid integer completely. If the variable never gets a higher value then 127 i use byte, if it can become very long even utlongint is available.

Show error message or replace all integer with long. :-)

Sounds interesting.

So this is a friendly cry for help. Would be nice to read about your further experiences. So far geany fits all my needs. Poseidon works also here. But there are few other IDE's available like Codeblocks, Eclipse and others. With Wine i can even start most of the Win-programs like FBEdit and others...

Yes, this is something one need to know.

Can somebody help me install FBC on Linux mint 19? Seems you have problems with the dependencies. You can do in terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gcc libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev sudo apt-get install libxrender-dev libxrandr-dev libxpm-dev geany...
