Re: beginner's questions

Sorry, I just thought I don't open a new topic because of my two questions if already exist a topic with similar title. I thought, it is a good idea to put these into one instead of open a new topic, as I'm also a beginner.
Sorry once more... :-(

Re: beginner's questions

I have 2 questions to skilled FB programmers: 1. How can I hide the mouse cursor without deactivating it? The SetMouse is not good for me, because it although hide, but deactivate the mouse. Or is there a possibility to change the mouse cursor to other sprite? 2. Is there a possibility in FB to scal...

Because of "Lib "winmm""? And what happening if I omit the SetTimer function and use only Sleep command?

Re: Speed

Thank you, Deltarho[1859], for your attention and addition. That is an interesting phenomenon from Intel i7 CPU (I have an AMD A4-4000 CPU in my PC).
I tried your code and if it is really safe for all CPU types then I will use it. I didn't know that using of Sleep is so important in the codes.

Re: Speed

Thanks, Pitto! That article and the demos there are truly helpful. I would like also be a real pro programmer like that guys, who publish their demos there.
Now I'm working on an FPS and a Millipede remake game. I hope, these will be faultless in every respect, included speed too.

Hello! I would like make a safety solution that control the speed of my games, in order to run the game same speed both on slow and fast computers. I invented this code for this, what clocks the fps: dim as integer fps,frame dim as double starttime fps=0 frame=0 starttime=timer do cls if timer-start...

Re: The island - An RTS game

Hello BasicCoder2! I hope, you didn't run into serious glitches in the game. Its goal to annihilate all the other units and buildings on the island. If you find it too hard, try to build first a barrack ("Laktanya") and train warriors from it, just click on a barrack and the icon of the wa...

Hello SARG! I just now doing that. I found an error in the "kepbetolt.kbt" file, where I had to change number 4 to 2 in the loops from line 390 to line 425 ( for i as ubyte=1 to 2 ) and rewrite the array index above ( dim shared emberdolg(7, 0 to 1 ) as any ptr ). Now I correcting the erro...

Re: The island - An RTS game

But in FreeBasic I still can't use Hungarian diacritic letters, therefore I thought, write these names onto the sprites. Maybe use draw string and your own fonts? Hello BasicCoder2! The problem is that I don't know how to use own fonts in FB. I'm still so "green" with this programming lan...

Re: The island - An RTS game

Yes, because the names are parts of the building sprites, and not separated printouts. I was foolish enough to do so at the beginning of developing, I'm sorry. But in FreeBasic I still can't use hungarian diacritic letters, therefore I thought, write these names onto the sprites. Then I forgot make ...
