At a quick first glance, I'd change the following two Functions: function length( x as double , y as double ) as double return sqr( x * x + y * y ) ' <-- for speed (simpler math.) end Function function irange( low as integer , high as integer ) as integer return int( rnd() * ( (high + 1) - low ) + l...

Well, I consider that remark, as rather short-sighted.
(It could very well solve your next problem ...)

A more recent example, can be found in "Beginners": DIR() question
(Assume it to be FBC 64 bit compatible too, older stuff may have problems.)

When I use -gen gcc then the cmd box will be opened always. May be due to the IDE used ... In FBEdit, this is the case on "quick run", but not for "compile + run", which has different settings: "quick run" = always a console "compile + run" = multiple options...

#Include "windows.bi" and FreeConsole deleted I'd also delete that, for any OS, including WIN. In order to NOT open a console on WIN, simply use compiler switch: fbc -s gui (additional to other compiler switches) I'm not likely to include 1.5 MB "windows.bi", for no compelling r...

dodicat,

I think it's somewhere in the c-runtime, have you noticed:
#Include "crt.bi" ? Probably, crt/string.bi.

Here is the code I've used for the above mentioned tests. IMPORTANT: - only for FBC 64 bit (otherwise, undefined results) you'll have to FIRST uncomment the following two procedures in 'pcg32rr.bi': - pcg32dbl2() and - pcg32dbl3() It's best to comment them after speed test(s) is/are run. Code: /' pc...

Hi all, The 32 bit minimal C code from Melissa E. O'Neill translated to FreeBASIC. Only the really necessary procedures added, to deal with issues like: - Initialization (random initial values, Mersenne Twister based, FB's CRT lib.) - Initialization (user supplied initial values), user controlled in...

Just to present the other half of the coin: I've said: stay, where you currently are (off the forum), aka: "stay where the pepper grows", which is lightly different, from what our best reknown liar, is trying hard, to imply. The jump into the Lake, was done by himself, without any help by ...

Another approach, which may illustrate the ptr changing method. Assume that we are doing Circles this time ... 0) define Type as needed 1) generate a (largish) static array of Type (holding all needed info, for Circle statement) 2) generate a alias (Type Ptr) 3) generate a (smallish) dyn. array of a...

You can get around that, by correcting width/height (if on high-res display)

then using "NO_FRAME" instead of "FullScreen" ...

Yes, correct. The real string-memory is allocated to the Ptr ...
(len(String) / memory allocated, stored in the two Integers)

Generally speaking: a FB var-len String, is a Type (in and of itself), similar to: FixLenStr (using the same layout as FB-String) so, the allocated memory for the effective String is outside of your Type, which only contains the Type's header (1 x Ptr + 2 x Integer). 12 bytes = FBC 32 / 24 bytes = F...
