Does fbc [!_]*.bas work?

... Thanks, I was already on the right track apparently. With fbs_Play_Sound(hSound, 1) : fbs_Get_SoundLoops(hSound, @nLoops) seems do do the job for me most convenient. Before 0, during 1, ended 0 fbs_Get_SoundPosition(hSound, @sPos) requires a rewind, otherwise: Before 0.0, during 0.0 ... 1.0, en...

May I ask a short question here?

How do I check that a sound object is being played?
E.g. On press "h", I want to sound a horn, but only if the horn is not already active.

I had to install some additional 'libasound' libraries, but I hear sound now! Thanks!
Fbc 1.04.0 32-bit, Ubuntu Mate 16.04 64-bit.
I'll run all the tests later today...

Edit: All examples run as expected.

I've read that the U.S. Govt. was able to maintain a 16 minute orbit..So a 16 minute orbit must be about 150 miles up , with my ether theory?? Where did you read that? A Donald Trump tweet? I think it was fake news. Fastest orbital period for Earth is just above the surface (ignoring air resistance...

From what I read here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2901694/programmatically-detect-number-of-physical-processors-cores-or-if-hyper-threadin) and here (https://wiki.osdev.org/Detecting_CPU_Topology_(80x86)) CPUID function aex=1 gives the ' logical core count'. See links for 'physical' core co...

To reduce these kind of pointer problems, I mostly chose the pointer names in such a way that I know that it is a pointer. E.g.: pCanvas or canvasPtr.

This part is suspicious: GridStr [ ((Yr-1)*Cwijd)+Xr ] Cwijd is -2791790 when printing "H" of "Hello" Do some min/max checks here. Probably anything that uses [ ] is suspicious. I don't think freebasic range checking (with -exx) does not work for this. Probably safer to use redim...

Here it crashes when trying to print "a" of "Vera" (last character). edit: Above is maybe wrong. But: For lus=0 to Len(Value)-1 GDisplay(asc(mid(Value,lus,1))) next Should be: For lus = 1 to Len(Value) GDisplay(asc(mid(Value,lus,1))) next Or (simpler): For lus = 0 to Len(Value)-1...

I agree. Albert seems intentionally obfuscating things.

I quit. This is useless. Good luck.

Earths Gravity pulls objects in at 9.8 meters a second... at the surface, due to the earth's mass As long as you are free falling you have no weight.. Only the acceleration of gravity. yes You don't feel weight , till you land on a surface. and possibly break some bones or worse Once you land on a ...

The term 'weight' can better left be out. It is not very well defined. Wikipedia: "In science and engineering, the weight of an object is related to the amount of force acting on the object, either due to gravity or to a reaction force that holds it in place." Unit: Newton (N). In daily us...

Clearly, because every following statement is completely wrong.
