The new editor looks quite clean. I am interested to try it, both on Windows and Linux. I currently use poseidonFB on linux, but it not quite as stable as I would like. As a result I do most of my work on Windows right now. Just wondering, as I'm not a WinFBE user. If the editor targets the Windows ...

Moved out of Archive since the code is being updated again.

I have many projects of different sizes written in FB (Text game engine, very simple scripting language, tons of game ideas) that are all unfinished or otherwise on the back burner. I use a lot of the OOP features, pointers (where it makes sense) and the ability to use 3rd party libraries. Things I ...

Moved to Windows forum.

As he said it is just syntactic sugar. It just drops in whatever you put in the ().

This is the version number.

This is fantastic advice in this situation.

That is incredibly rude. Moderation just had it out with another user over this exact kind of behavior. Why would you think it is okay here?

More than likely, it means most people using it already had an older version of the compiler installed before using this one.

I think the most important is to try to reach an original solution. Once C#, java and so on mentionned, of course no one would want to do same otherwise it would'nt be 'Basic'. Just imagine 'in the taste of' but original. Let's consider the quest for what is original, easy, and relevant, same time ...

My mistake.

Many examples use External libraries, which are managed by teams other than the FreeBASIC team. To include all those DLL's (and SO's on Linux) would use a tremendous amount of space and bandwidth. If you search for the missing DLL on your search engine of choice, it is usually simple enough to find ...

The Runtime library and the FBGFX library are both written in C.

There is not even a roadmap for what needs to be completed for a 2.0. There is always a next version in the works as along as someone is working on it. The next version is 1.09. So no real plans for a 2.0 that I know of.
