Re: Why is this lagging?

Three issues I see,,,

#1. Running a tight loop without a Sleep can hog the CPU.
#2. Randomly you are printing the BELL character which blocks the console until the beep sound is finished playing
#3. IIRC the Timer only has an accuracy down to 15ms.

Re: 'Class' Keyword

This is just my personal opinion (no echo from Jeff): I think support for Interfaces would be outstanding but would also require compatibility with Is and TypeOf and probably others.

'Class' Keyword

I was curious what was the future intention for the 'Class' keyword? Right now FB recognizes it as a reserved keyword, but I don't see any use for it currently. Would it make sense to treat it similar to Type? I was just curious what features it would have beyond what Type offers.

Re: Nice to See Some Familiar Users Still Here

They all seem to have departed without a word of farewell, no indication that they are off on some prolonged sabbatical. I suppose getting engrossed in another language or project, or even crossing the great divide, explains all. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me it was just R/L getting in ...

Nice to See Some Familiar Users Still Here

I've been away for a while. I just popped back in to see what's new with FreeBASIC and it's nice to see a lot a familiar users still around! Reading through some of the threads and laughing at how things never change. Same gripes and rants just different people writing them! :D I came back because I...

Re: "A Love Letter To FreeBASIC" Game Dev Competition (Oct 2018 – Feb 2019), 1000 $ 1st prize

Wish I had seen this sooner. I love these competitions. Sadly my father passed in December and I've been too busy to check the boards. Thanks Lachie for giving me the heads up but I don't think I can get a game together in 7 days.

Re: POINTER NULL CHECK

Another example, I don't like the syntax: If Len(string) Then ... Obviously this syntax compiles well and works but this code BASIC is not "clean" in my humble opinion, because the expression 'Len (string)' is neither true nor false, but conversely the expression 'Len (string) = 0' is tru...
