is image supposed to only be in the scope of the sub? then the dim statement must be inside the sub ( drawstuff() ). if its supposed to be shared then put dim shared image as SDL_Surface ptr above all of your includes, and it will be shared among all of them that come below it. edit: and if youre sh...

yeah, it does. theyre mostly celebrating a thing called 'purecode' there, and it sounds nice, but the thing is, in order to parse code with it, the parser must know certain 'rules' of the language. which would probably render it useless for fb, at least until fb gets more popular...

yes, thats normal, thats called a 'console' window, you can turn it off by compiling with the paramter "-s gui"

wouldnt it return an integer?

i recall a member of the qbasicnews forum, moneo, posting about this behavior in qb, when using a signed integer and looping to 32767. so maybe its a ms basic variant 'feature' :p

dont take this as an insult of your problem solving abilities, but if youre going to study, just study the win-api and stop trying to do it by hand. this is why we have os's, ao you can have intrinsic funcs to do things like this, instead of reinventing the wheel everytime. now, don't ask me how to ...

nice man, really nice way to make this stuff nice and clean and clear, those qb hacks and numbers were useful to memorize back then, but its nice that you see them for what they are / were: dead weight :) btw, does packed mean... type PalType r as ubyte g as ubyte b as ubyte pad as ubyte end type ?

explain what you're trying to do a bit more clearly.

Wow, the last one didn't even seem that hard either...

i said it b4 and ill say it again

amazing o.o

i have to agree with you, i never even thought of that.

it reminds me of that old-skool light brite thing ^^ jejeje

;) i Knew there was probably an intrinsic way to do it. hehe, thanks

ive posted this a couple places. just a lil routine i made to convert a binary string into an integer.... probably useless, but here it is in case someone wants it ^^ heres a demo showing how to use it Function VFB( bin_string$ ) As uInteger 'Value From Binary ( String ) Dim speed_pl...

nice job on this tut ;) i learned what i know about fmod from reading this. Thanks!
