Look, as long as there is anyone making a half-decent FreeBASIC game, I have an access to a PC with internet connection and some shred of sanity, the world is not colapsing, then that specific game will get my attenton and an upload to FBGD. So I'm eager to hear what you are cooking up. Never hesis...

If I am NOT online with google chrome my frame rate is limited to about 65 f.p.s. If I am online I can get much faster rates. This is the sort of issue I am running into. Except I noticed that with my game the speed only increases dramatically if I have a Google Drive page open and viewing. Maybe t...

I've noticed that the speed up occurs when I have Google Chrome open and viewing a Google Drive webpage! I also noticed that Skype notifications with their Windows 7 client drastically slows down the game. I hope this list is exhaustive, but there's always the possibility that it's not. I've figure...

I use a little function to adjust the time of sleep. This gives The CPU a break and lets your framerate be at your request. Hi dodicat, I will try out your method. Because it seems simply running the game loop on a timer isn't working. I myself am not experiencing speed issues anymore. But apparent...

open ListBox.bas in the sGUI folder
at row 90 you will find this:

Thanks for the fix; it works perfectly!

Hi,

Is there a way to retrieve the gadget pointer of the scroll bar of a list box? I am attempting to redraw a list box and I noticed its accompanying scroll bar did not redraw. Is there a way to redraw this part of the list box?

IIRC FB uses the high resolution timer internally when available so using a double to store a start time could be used for comparisons. Pseudo Code Dim loopStart as Double ' Start Game Loop Do if (Timer-loopStart > .33) Then 'This is 30 FPS 'Process Logic 'Render Screen loopStart = Timer End if Sle...

How are you timing your game loop? Do you allow so many game ticks per second? You can accomplish this most easily by using a timer variable to limit how many passes per second. More accurately you would process your game movement based on the elapsed time for each game tick but this is more involv...

Hi all, I'm nearly finished with the first version of that game I'm making. That version is coming out very soon! However, I have a technical issue with my game loop. Sometimes the game runs too fast! How can I regulate speed to make sure it will always play at a specific rate (a majority of the tim...

I'm certain of this too; I after all have the library ;)! I was just letting you know in case it was an issue.

btw you could compile fbsound with #define NOMOD #define NOMP3 #define NOOGG That way you should be able to remove these libraries that you do not need and thus don't have to care about their licenses either. If you ship it you've to include the license too - no matter whether it is actually used o...

Hi D.J.Peters, I am using you sound library for my game, and I have got it working no trouble thanks to the examples/doc! Works perfectly for what I want! However, I am posting to clarify a few things about distributing it with my game (i.e. licensing stuff). In my collection of licenses (which have...

I've been seeing this post for a while now, and I only think it is fair and right to say, Thank you. I've only been a member of the community for just over a year, but I really sense your dedication to this project and what you have provided in terms of effort, skill etc. ;)! As well as the others w...

Ah, necroposting; isn't it great :) Hi, I think being well protected against viruses with ESET nod 32, but yesterday for the first time since 2007 I had the following problem: During a test of the code under development, windows (or my Dell attitude) crashed and the mouse remained motionless. I rebo...

Have you seen the already existing feature request: #246 Execution speed optimization of 'Andalso' and 'Orelse' ? You can add text inside 'discussion' (need to login)! The included test program provides the performances for 3 syntaxes used in a particular case. In any case, I always find that the n...
