Re: Library, Project, Example Code Archive

I was thinking that at the beginning I would just collect libraries and things myself and add then. If anyone would want to be able to add items themself, I would grant an account with limited access. Can't get more frictionless than "someone else's problem". Having a catalog of complete,...

Re: ScreenRes problem

@sarg I did not know that about the smi lies I re-wrote the line many times, with different dims, still same result. The problem must be somewhere in the 300+ lines before this statement. Next try is to comment out sections to isolate the mole hill. @paul Screenlist had several dozen screen resoluti...

ScreenRes problem

As I remember (which may be a little unreliable) a few years back ScreenRes on my Win7 sys worked ok. However, Why this? ------------------------ Command executed: "c:\_fbc\fbc64.exe" "C:\fbox\fbtry80.bas" Compiler output: C:\fbox\fbtry80.bas(346) error 72: Array not dimensioned,...

Re: speed of FB 1.10 on a Win10 64 bit 2 core sys

@marcov & @srvaldez
THANK YOU

I had 16 GB memory added.
I reset the PC

Now, it requires about three to five seconds for browzers to activate: firefox, slimjet; chrome; edge
Your suggestion was/is appreciated.

speed of FB 1.10 on a Win10 64 bit 2 core sys

Does the FB run slower on a 64bit system? Some background: This is what I use ATM: 1) An XP system runs at 2 GHZ with 1 GB of Ram. When I click on Firefox, the firefox icon and screen pops up in about three seconds. 2) I have a Win7 system with 4 GB of RAM running at 3.1 GHz When I click on the Fire...

Re: Xs and Os (or Tic-Tac-Toe)

in main:
player is defined twice
winner is not defined

however,
the subroutine/macro "incr" is not defined
believe it should be: moves += 1

The player with the first move has the advantage.

Re: max accuracy double

ditto
same result

Also of interest (to me) as double on 32 bit:
(2^64 - 1) / (2^64 + 2^10) = 1
(2^64 - 1) / (2^64 + 2^11) = 1
(2^64 - 1) / (2^64 + 2^12) = 0.9999999999999998
(2^64 - 1) / (2^64 + 2^13) = 0.9999999999999996
(2^64 - 1) / (2^64 + 2^14) = 0.9999999999999991
