"1" instead of "!" in "!.10.0" ?

I thought that 'window9' is a GUI library for windows & linux. But this code is for windows only?

Here is an overview of various Inter-process communication methods on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-pro ... munication
Of course, some are easier to implement (in freebasic) than others.

I know what you want - not "fake" meta balls but real calculated ones. :wink: Actually, I do not know what metaballs are. Wikipedia says: "metaballs are organic-looking n-dimensional isosurfaces, characterised by their ability to meld together when in close proximity to create single...

It think I fixed it. If you keep a button pressed, then at loopCount 260 a ball (bottom-right) starts separating. The smaller dots are the grid centers. When white, then part of the blob. Note: I changed and '<' to '>'. Same result, but now positive logic, easier for my mind. const N_BALL = 20 Dim s...

A bit dusty code, but exactly what I was looking for (marching squares). There is however a bug in it as can be better seen it this slightly modified version: const N_BALL = 20 Dim shared metaballX(1 to N_BALL) as integer Dim shared metaballY(1 to N_BALL) as integer 'randomize timer randomize 27 scr...

Just for fun. Two 2d-Gaussian surfaces moving around. #define dbl double const SW = 800, SH = 600 type dbl3d as dbl x, y, z end type sub pset3d(p3d as dbl3d, c as ulong) dim as integer x, y x = SW \ 2 + p3d.x + p3d.y / 2 y = SH * (3 / 4) - (p3d.z + p3d.y / 2) pset (x, y), c end sub 'https://en.wikip...

badidea Old FreeBasic code from 2006. Do you think this could ever be made to work on 64 bit PC's ? I am pretty sure that code does not work on any PC (32/64, Windows/Linx) with the current compiler. One of the issues is that: function save_tree (byval node_given as node_t ptr, bt_data as ubyte ptr...

Someone just Emailed me a Huffman Compressor - Decompressor for FreeBasic. The code was also posted here in 2006: https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=40618 Things seem to go wrong already at the compression step, at bt.save_tree(b, tdata). When I print the data in tdata, it contains many ze...

I know, I tried a bit yesterday; found 2 bugs, but not yet working here either...

If there are no data compression limits, then why do you stop at 90%? Continue until you have 1 bit left.

If you still think that the universe can be compressed to a single bit, then that must be prove that only one universe exists.
