Less funny with the 32-bit compiler.

Off-topic: Ron, if you have specific questions concerning OOP, why not start a topic on this forum? Answers usually come quickly, unless no one is interested

It is allowed to take a break you know :-)

It seems to me that Joshy talks about cpu registers, while jj2007's benchmark tests data memory/cpu cache.
But does that assembly code mean that the 64-bit cpu is doing two 32-bit operations in one step?

Another way using winder method for inpolygon. Left click to locate, right click for new pattern. Your tile coordinate system is the same as I used in 'Pentacles' but different then what Richard used above. The isometric coordinate system is easier to work with I think. See the 'redblobgames' link ...

... Maybe I should have posted it under "Hardware Interfaces / Communication" section of the forum. I posted it on this website since the two are very much connected - the software and the hardware. In that section, there is libpruio (BB D/A - I/O fast and easy) which might be use...

For Richard. Your code combined with your the hexagon drawing routine from the 'Pentacles' topic. With some minor tweaking like: Ulong for color, sleep 1 in the loop, invalid mouse position detection. '-------------------------------------------------------------------- ' hexagon centres are at inte...

Hi Dinosaur, trying out the xdotool here. I run in one terminal this: sleep 5; xdotool key "A" "B" While this freebasic program is running: screen 19,8,1 dim as string key while key <> chr(27) key = inkey if key <> "" then print "Got:" & key wend And it do...

Don't use ^ with integers. The ^ operator takes 2 doubles as inputs and returns a double. When used with integers, automatic conversion to and from doubles is done. Example: Dim a As ULongInt a=18049651735527936 Print a+2^0 Sleep Prints: 1.804965173552794e+16 Interestingly fbc 32-bit behaves differe...

I cannot test at the moment, but is ^ a floating point operation that introduces a rounding error?

If you look long enough, you can spot the hidden Easter egg.

Something useless to start the week with: #define i32 long #define u32 ulong #define f64 double #define _alpha_(c) ((c shr 24) and &hff) #define _red_(c) ((c shr 16) and &hff) #define _grn_(c) ((c shr 8) and &hff) #define _blu_(c) (c and &hff) #define _min_(v1, v2) (iif(v1 < v2, v1, ...

I have never seen any items under 'Active topics'. The issue with 'New posts' I think is that posts of new users (first post) does not show up. Examples recently: TwoCatsYelling and khaldrogo . I expect that this has something to do with anti-spam measures. First time posts need to be approved by an...

Bug on fbc 1.07.2 32-bit & 64-bit linux? This 'program' segfaults: function BC (rv as string) as string BC = rv end function This also: function BC () as string return "x" end function Or: sub BC end sub (program exited with code: 139) I do not know if this bug is new or presen...
