Well usually who pays for the domain and various publishing services?

All hosting has been provided for free from the beginning by the owner of phatcode.net, Plasma.

Very early on in the project it was decided that no money would be excepted for the project. There is no way to donate and that is on purpose.

I was thinking that at the beginning I would just collect libraries and things myself and add then. If anyone would want to be able to add items themself, I would grant an account with limited access. Can't get more frictionless than "someone else's problem". Having a catalog of complete, ...

Many years ago, there was a "Project Archive" for FreeBASIC located at freebasic.net/arch. I don't remember exactly when it went away but I was thinking about it a few nights ago and I had an idea to make something similar now. I can set up something simple enough to store items and make t...

There is a small section on screen 0 here.

The IDE you are using, while still technically usable, is very old. If you are having problems getting the IDE and compiler properly connected, then you might want to give WinFBE a shot instead. Just take the zip you download from the github for WinFBE and extract it to somewhere that the OS will gi...

See the article at the above link. It will explain how to do what you are looking to do. I found it pretty quickly in the GameDev section of the forum.

Hey @ron77 Why coding your own chatbot ? The chatbot BotNation work with the GPT4 API and it's more smooth to use Three of the four posts you have even attempted to get onto the forum have been about BotNation. The fourth one was you telling the mods you are not a bot. I have removed the link. You ...

Most people do not use lang "qb" with new code for this exact reason. Anything outside of making old qb code compile with minimal changes is a bit outside the scope of what the qb dialect was designed for. I have not had time to investigate this myself so I can't answer your question just ...
