Sorry, -O max was to what I was referring, to get maximum optimisation with GCC.

Nice one fxm.

Trying out what you've detailed on Win 0.23b, I don't notice any perceptible difference between FBC-compiled vs GCC-compiled graphics executables (because of FBgfx?), but on intensive loop cmd-line executables the difference can be large between the two compilers. -O max-ed

It's an interesting demo-game Chung. As Lachie said, there is a lot of potential within this. Some of the effects you've used are very good (rolling sea motion, hill/valley terrain, Panther tank, fast OpenGL). Not sure about this one though... :) http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h478/stingingeyes...

Wow, your fluid simulations are superb.

Yes, the effects are similar, especially if the CLS ~116 is commented out.

Thank you h4tt3n :)

Compiled the above code on an XP machine with a graphics card and FB 0.21.1, and the resulting exe runs okay. The XP I used in the last post was a nasty Celeron M laptop with onboard graphics. I wonder if the problem can be related to Windows drivers and hardware? The worst Windows PC I have access ...

Thanks Dodicat.

I coded this on FB 0.21.1 on Win7 - just tested on FB 0.21.1 on XP and the crash does exist due to oNoise3.noise(). Win7 compiles and runs this code from the forum fine.

Your fix is good - the resulting field is virtually the same.

I'll try to find a fix for XP later at home.

Perlin noise field generation. Converted from Ron Valstar / Mario Klingemann's AS3 Class. Can be useful for particle effects etc, although the aesthetic effects are better when anti-aliasing and filters are available. Perlin.bi TYPE Perlin ' Perlin Noise v.1.2 by Ron Valstar and Mario Klingemann ' C...

Your last code example Joshy is amazing!
Like an op-art curtain or flag in the wind.

Cool conversion!

Hardly uses any of the processor (even on a P4) and much faster than Processing.

Thank you DMFNR - a really informative and detailed post. The only difference I encountered on repeating your instructions step-by-step on Mint x86-64 was: install.sh aborted, complaining about the prefix unable to determine the configured prefix from ./fbc -version So I skipped the fbc installation...

Thanks Vince for this useful utility.
With comment and filename changes, I'm using it for my job's PHP.

Cool Lissajous function rolliebollocks. I added a little code just to see the effects of random values passed. #include once "fbgfx.bi" USING FB RANDOMIZE(TIMER), 3 SUB Lissajous(a AS INTEGER, b AS INTEGER) DIM screenbuffer AS fb.image PTR = 0 DIM AS UINTEGER clr = &h1 DIM AS INTEGER i...

Your application build looks promising. But from the little I know about encryption, you don't seem to state your algorithm, and there's far too few S-type boxes for it to be anything other than very weak. What about if you rebuilt your application around a strong algorithm such as TwoFish, AES, or ...

Fair enough - useful link.
