I think you are running into several problems at once. It just isn't good practice to set up any loop without a sleep OR an expectation that the loop will exit very quickly. But that is not the problem you are observing. (Also, set a key trap test - example: chr(27) - escape - to terminate your loop...

I understand how this works. I don't have a question. I do have an example that may be a good display for new users. (FB is still BASIC, most would say.) This would be good in the 'Conversion/Coercion' topic. Feel free to make any change/correction you wish. ' test for signed/unsigned mix ' compile ...

OK
Forgot to make the array static.

Thanks

re: getting a list of values You can always get a value from memory the system has allocated to you. If that memory of NOT part of a declared function or variable, it has no useful meaning. By allocating only one position at "dim stack(0)as integer" - only ONE memory position is valid. You...

Shouldn't the return value be a ulong instead of uinteger?

"Nonesense." Agreed. Certainly, not that simple. None of what I said was aimed at you. You have been very diligent, even tolerant, of people with their requests. I did not expect you to try to accommodate some of my expressions of frustration - but you did. Thank you. Truly, YOUR efforts -...

@Juergen Kuelwein I was not asking for a gui or framework, just the very basic tools that ANY modern gui needs: scalable fonts, minimum. There are several fine *free* (as in no-entanglement license) libraries available. They may not be the best or fastest, but more than good enough. By media, I mean...

Yes, internal libraries and quality releases are important. FB has been blessed with some outstanding development efforts. There are many reasons why a project can die. Fewer are the reasons that make a project survive. FB does not support any niche. (Other than providing a fast, small efficient exe...

The issues raised are all beyond me and my needs. Hi Dinosaur, Your rant is perfectly understandable. What I am more worried about, however, is that FB goes into the direction of a BASIC caricature of C++. Nonetheless, keep in mind that this thread is about the development of the next FB version, s...

FB hasn't changed changed in the time that I have been with it. Not long, just 7 years. Sure: 64 bit, a LOT of fixed bugs. A very few features, actually. Sure, more RTTI and c++ like objects, but those are sugar and icing: There really isn't anything NEW that can be done now that couldn't be done be...

As with the graphics library, when some keywords are used the extra linking is triggered, but the use of some of the features of graphics will still throw an error when used without some of those keywords or the #include for graphics. No one wants to be required to use #include in most of these case...
