Hi all,

has anyone yet done (I know there is a solution for e.g. clipboard) an example of dropping a file into your program window, so you could e.g. automatically load the file?

bump

is this possible?

dim x[44][]

does not work, e.g.

Just askin 

that is great!

In AGK you can do it like that:

https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/3D/GetObjectRayCastX.htm

In GLBasic I can apparently only raycast and get the distance, but not the exact position.

Is there another way?

I think you could calculate it somehow if you have the distance (vector plus vector x distance)?

So if is huge, it has not to be re-created every time?!

Thx, great.

Is there a way to scale models to a size of let's say 1x1. X_SCALING apparently only scales from the original size, it seems?

Is there a way to let me calculate the position(x,y,z) where I click on that height object?

What would be the best way to calculate the point where the ray first hits an object?

Is there a good-looking 3D game or demo available?

3D isn't really my goal, I prefer 2D most of the time.

I did a "quick and dirty" RTS prototype in some languages, in C#/XNA which ran pretty well, but in Monkey-X it already wasn't as smooth (again, I thought since this is also compiled in C++ it wouldn't) and my attempts in AGK were just not playable.

Thanks.

Do you think GLBasic can handle large RTS game real-time logic and AI like "Supreme Commander"?

Yes, I know the obvious answer is that it depends on skill of the programmer. 

In other words, how does GLBasic compare to C# Monogame, Unity, Libgdx, whatever... Not talking about C/C++, Rust and the like. It's obviously much faster than AGK (that is only interpreted and not very efficently it seems).

Great tool, got sick and tired of C# and Java and Python. Stuff I have to use for my work. GLBasic is much faster and more fun to work with. It is so intuitive. Syntax is also better than AGK or the other Basic languages. There is really no reason why AGK is so big and GLBasic is not, quality-wise.
