In any case, if it isn't FreeBASIC, this isn't the place to discuss it.

I am not familiar with the SDL joystick support, but FB's built-in GetJoystick supports multiple devices as well (see the first parameter).

Even if the same object and library file formats were used, QB code is still 16-bit code, not suitable for use with FreeBASIC. You cannot use or convert QB lib or obj files in any way that would make them useful with FreeBASIC. If you have the source code to these object and library files, it could ...

I saw the weird text entry problem too, except it doesn't actually act as if insert is pressed - it just looks that way. If you cause the page to be redrawn (switch away from and back to the Chrome window), all your text will still be there as you typed it.

Perhaps you want UBound?

I've thought about writing a GUI toolkit and IDE for quite a while myself, but I don't think the time is quite right yet - I think it would be best to have more OOP features (at the very least, virtual methods and inheritance) to make the interface cleaner (and I would not want to rewrite the whole ...

The grammar could be extracted by hand; there's still (informal) bits of it all around the parser (probably not complete, but a start, at least). However, as cha0s said, if you want to help along the Mac port, it'd be better to help with the C emitter (start at src/compiler/ir-hlc.bas), or if you ha...

The fbgfx "screen" is just yet another offscreen system memory buffer. There is no benefit to adding another layer here. You can never directly write to the video memory with fbgfx.

The return value is not "true or false"; it's "success or failure". It does seem a little backwards to me as well, but that was the convention chosen (0 means success on most FB runtime functions that return a value).

Check out GetVersion and GetVersionEx on MSDN; that said, Windows version detection is a big mess, with some versions faking replies to make old programs run and so forth, so unless you really need to know the actual version, it is usually better to test for features.

To clarify, the h value from fb_hX11EnterFullscreen is usually the same as fb_x11.h; it would differ in the case that there is no matching resolution but there is a mode with a larger height but equal width (then the window will still take up the entire screen, but the blitter will copy to the cente...

These changes solved my problem with centering the window, but during testing I realized that the function XresizeWindow() was causing the display problems that I have been having so I made one more change to lib_gfx_driver_x11.c if (fb_x11.flags & (DRIVER_CENTER)) XMoveResizeWindow(fb_x11.disp...

Where is URLDownloadToFile declared? I do not find it in any of the existing FB headers.

Sounds fine to me too; I wouldn't be opposed to having a flag to start centered. Starting hidden seems a bit less useful to me, but I guess it could be ok (how would you show it later?).

Thanks, fixed in r5092.
