Future Library is way too slow to use high-res games. If you are making a game in QB, port it to FB. It will run on linux, windows, and DOS, plus it will run about 500x faster at high-res modes. Support for BMPs are added too.

Check it out at freebasic.net!

Because Freebasic is QBasic's younger sister with bigger boobs.

Although I don't disagree with badmrbox's description ;-). There are better reasons hehe.

FreeBasic is probably the closest thing to a 32 bit QB that you'll get so far...it was created by v1ctor a QB regular. It was a VB-DOS (or was it PDS) project to begin with until it was able to compile itself. FB is available for Windows, DOS and Linux and is 32 bits on all platforms (no more of QB's memory limits and 32Kb String limits among other advantages.

I wouldn't just exclude the project because it's not QB per se, depending on your project, using FB might bring you more advantages than disadvantages in the short and long run. There may be a learning curve (though not as big as some may think) but given that time, you might be surprised at what it can do.

That'd be because you're doing it wrong. Or you're just stupid and didnt actually read the "Differences from QB" paragraf? Did you even read any documentation about FB?
but i might just do qb4.
Why? Just go all the way and code in machinecode, please. I've heard it's 100% compatible with all modern computers, and you can do anything you want in it, it's also highly optimized and fast!

To piss you off!!! Obviously!!!

Good call, QB is fun, but not suitable for highres.

You compile with: FBC YourBasFile.Bas
If you compile for DOS you need a 32bit protected mode dos driver
No, it can not use any QB libraries, as they are 16bit, and FB is 32bit.

I only have one thing to say... Read this thread. If you don't feel like reading through the whole thread, at least look at the poll.

http://qbnz.com/pages/forum/viewtopic.php?t=294

I put alot of effort into that game, and only a few people from the whole community were able to play it. If you're dead set on making a game in QB, your best bet is to use pure QB. Otherwise, you run the risk of being the only fan of your own game. :roll:

The only good library of any kind for QB that runs in WinXP is RELlib (and GSLib). And Blast!
