A timezone is basically a special time difference from Greenwich (GMT). So one could calculate the difference from his own timezone to GMT and the difference of the other zone with this table after wiki: ' timezones.bas dim as string tzone(589), tzoffs(589) tzone(000) = "Zulu":tzoffs(000) ...

Works all here on Mint 18.3 64 bit (i suppose you are on windows). Yes, thats the game! As far i remember, the enemies always moved towards player. Player could dig holes to stop them. But the holes closed after some time. Climbing the upper ladder to top leaded to next level. But these days it woul...

"Toy fonts" is named not because i played around some time to find out, but because they are a bit limited. They are not fully described in docs and with google i found not much. Seems they are builtin, because i have no fonts with these names installed. So far i found five fonts each with...

From all the thousands games i tried, i played very few to the end. Another was "Populus". Simply amazing. And some early of the C & C series like "Red Alert". Sadly some became annoying at the end. Last years i lost interest for gaming. Dont know why. One gets enough from ev...

Works here on Linux 64. Fascinating with such few lines to realize this game. There is not much left to make i complete. Player sprite and goal to reach. And then next level. And next. And dozens more... Then you could do a "Loderunner", too. Played this some time. Or "Castles of Dr. ...

A nice feature is having text outlines. :-) ' cairo_textoutline.bas ' Translated from the C example written by Øyvind Kolås ' Public domain from here ' https://www.cairographics.org/samples/ #include once "cairo/cairo.bi" Const SCREEN_W = 300 Const SCREEN_H = 250 CONST M_PI = 4 * ATN(1) Sc...

Right, added screenres and replaced the degree symbol with chr(248).

Found the mistake at Windows version and replaced swisseph.bi and swe_next_eclipse.bas. Now all works here on Linux and Windows.

Thanks coderJeff!

Thanks for your interest! Tried for hours, but could get it not working on Windows 32. But it worked last year.

Ever needed to know where and when the heck next total eclipse will happen? Swisseph can give the answer.

I must confess, it is confusing, because for geographical coordinates the same words are used, longitude and latitude. In manual description says: int swe_calc_ut ( double tjd_ut, int ipl, int iflag, double* xx, char* serr), where tjd_ut =Julian day, Universal Time ipl =body number iflag =a 32 bit i...

Now we have to care what our font tells about us...
