Graphics...
I need a way to copy a selected part of the screen, and then put it back in. It also needs to be able to clip, hold an image as big as 640x480 and has to be fast... so GET/PUT might not really cut it. Any ideas?

Look up the PCOPY command Rocket Boy. or if your in FB lookup screenset and screencopy (which are quite fast .

Yeah, if I could find a tutor that explains how to plot memory points...Zamaster wrote:Try writing your own ASM code, "WHAT!??!?!?!?!". ASM is a breeze once you get the hang of it (takes about 1 day). You would need to copy all of the pixel data into a buffer, and then copy it back to the screen, VERY EASY to do in ASM!
Wow, I wasn't aware FB could handle memory sizes like that!Z!re wrote:I've used GET/PUT buffers of over 200mb in size without problems in FB
I'm anxious to experience FB for myself but, frankly I don't need all that power since I can pull off feats like that with QB. (Let me highlight the word " like" )
Anyways, I've recently D/L FB's win32 compiler, and docs...
So I might make the switch anyways.
Are you an ASM promoter/advertiser? Seems like you want him to think ASM is simple. Let's put it in a more reality type perspective, I'd say ASM would take an average beginner prograqmmer atleast a few months to get the hang of. Even QB would take a week or so in my opinion.Zamaster wrote: ASM is a breeze once you get the hang of it (takes about 1 day).

holy crap... now how much *ram* do you have? I only have 128 (old stick went bad ) so would that work for me? virtual memory, or what?Z!re wrote:Free memory, with some nice swap handling (done by the OS) you can sometimes allocate even more..Anonymous wrote:What about GET and PUT in Freebasic?

I have 256MB on this machine, I used to be 128..Nathan1993 wrote:holy crap... now how much *ram* do you have?

I have servers with 512MB though..
Also, like I said, swapping..
I've allocated 2.2GB without problems using FB, ofcourse my HD's went insane when allocating it
I have left this dump.
The more a HD is used, the shorter it's life will be, true.. but I have working HD's that are from 1991, I even have one from 1980 something, 20MB i beleive..Nathan1993 wrote:2.2 gigs? holy crap... thats awesome... wonder if your hard drive can go bad from using VM so much, from having to spin and locate so much stuff to ofton... like, you know... having to look at so many parts of the HD at once...
I have left this dump.
