Hey TheMG, very nice work.

I was/am actually interested in this project very much. Perhaps if you got on IRC we could talk about it a lot?

Anyway, keep it up, I like it.

Sometimes programming requires boilerplate, drudgery, and annoying-ness. Such things could be eliminated, at the cost of speed or memory-usage of the program (cf. high level languages). But then when you want to make it fast, you'll have to have the drudgery of trying to hack it at low level. "...

Quadrescence, what you are proposing would be incredibly difficult. It would take years to complete both rewrites, and what would we have at the end of it? What we have now, but we would be sure of what that is. I think we should get as far as we can on the current code base, release that as v1.0, ...

And for my two cents. I am not at all active on this forum, where I suppose the majority of FreeBASIC users show themselves. Though, I am active on IRC, so, I'm not oblivious to the FreeBASIC community and to, of course, FreeBASIC itself. I usually program in other languages (e.g., Lisp, C, C++, For...

A fast binary GCD. I'm sure someone like Mysoft could ASM-ize it and make it faster. Note that it uses pretty "processor-basic" instructions. :) For those who don't know, GCD( u , v ) is the g reatest c ommon d enominator between u and v . That is, the largest number that goes into both of...

print "Good afternoon, eager young minds! Welcome to the FB community!" ''yes, you new students print "First and foremost, we will not do your homework." if student.getMood() = "mad" then while student.getMood() = "mad" student.grade -= 0.01 student.reputatio...

INT -> Return the integer part of the number if it is positive, otherwise return the integer part of the number plus 1. To make a clarification, int ( x ) FreeBASICally is equivalent to floor ( x ) = ⌊ x ⌋ mathematically. Though what Agamemnus said is also correct, except for the fact that the firs...

This looks like it could be useful for some "bit wizardry". :D Keep us updated.

My dearest quim,

Sending an array would be easiest. Otherwise, it gets pretty :(.

Yours truly,

Is there a more comprehensive 2D graphics library for FB? I am looking to see if there is code for things such as - lines of different thicknesses - anti-aliased lines - general polygons (e.g. specify 5 points, and it will connect them in the order they were specified) - anti-aliased edges of shapes...
