If you need more material, then I can probably conjure up something. I just didn't want to submit multiple articles per issue.

It isn't because of limitiations. I think it's resource management on OpenGL's part. Low polygon counts don't need as much speed, so it seems that it's slow. I had a small maze using GL, yet it ran at the same speed as when I ran just a rotating triangle.

Oh, I see what you mean. Well, I just happen to have a solution: randomize timer 'some function that gets a random integer between two others declare function randInt(low as integer, high as integer) as integer 'integers you want to work with dim a as integer dim b as integer 'some multiple of ten c...

Use large integers, then divide by a magnitude or two. 'some function that gets a random integer between two others declare function randInt(low as integer, high as integer) as integer 'integers you want to work with dim a as integer dim b as integer 'some multiple of ten const scale=100 a=randInt(1...

Ohh...I think I figured it out. I needed the screen to have 32 bits per pixel.
Thanks.

Oh dear. Not these conventions again. Do you know how to multiply matrices? Not code them in, but matrices do clarify it up quite a bit. On a 2d coordinate system: let R be the roational matrix let P be the set of 2d points let Q be the point you want Q=R*P where: R= [[cos(Θ) -sin(Θ)] [sin(Θ) cos(Θ)...

The RGB() isn't working for me.

Ok. Must all pointers be properly destroyed, or are they taken care of?

There's another way? I've been using screen 12 due to the fact it's the only one I know enough, and I'm used to the dimensions of the screen.

[edit] Oh. Is there a way to get the color to use &h _ _ _ _ _ _? And how would I get it to read a variable?

Fixed it. Thanks. Has the color issue been adressed in the FB community?

It's a FreeBasic compiler (0.18.2). I updated it by changing the FB directory in the IDE.

Hence "Pete's QBASIC Site Forum Index -> Freebasic Questions & Answers".

I updated my compiler, and now when I use SCREEN 12, nothing will draw.

Is there a way to just wipe out everything allocated with just one swipe?

But what can they do?

What exactly are you erasing? Are you using CLS? CLS will cause flickering. SCREEN 9 can use page flipping to stop flicker. Screen 12 cannot. How does it look in FB? It might be better to use that. Ted They both are currently in FB, and work very well. The demo doesn't use CLS, but the game does. I...

The IDE can be updated?

I used WAIT, but everything drawn last still flickers horribly. Is there a way to get rid of it in screen 12? If not, what is the closest screen to 12 that can do it? I'm revisiting QB, and I can't seem to find the stuff I need. Thanks. The reason that I'm asking this is because of two reasons: I'm ...

I'm still using FBIDE for Two Lords (it simplifies adding resources), but anything else I use FB for I just code in Notepad and compile from the command line. I only use Notepad for header files and data. I still make too many errors to do most of my work there. And I like the color coding scheme o...

An updated compiler for the IDE? I still use the old FBIDE. It works well enough for me.

I know how to use them, but what can they do that I normally can't do without them?
