Hi there, recently I got an Ipaq (windows pocket pc), mainly for 2 reasons, 1. because it's an fun and interesting device, and 2. so I could create apps for it using GLBasic, however I soon came to realise that the WinCE compiler is outdated (i think). I was also interested in getting a GP2X Wiz, however, the Ipaq was already a huge letdown.

GLBasic is still being advertised with support for these platforms on the site, so when I got GLBasic this was a bit of a letdown . I thought that instead, I could switch to an older version of GLBasic; but currently I havent found out how to do so, or if that's even possible, especially because I am using the Steam version of GLBasic.

After only building applications for Windows, I was really hoping I could build to another platform, but no luck as to of now :/

If anyone can help me with this, please let me know! 

Hi there, i am working on a small site and i was planning on releasing some games on there, so i was wondering if i could still export to html5, however, after i compiled the program i only got a dummy html file, and an empty distribute folder.

Is it still possible to export to html5 or am i doing something wrong?

Hi there, i am working on a small game that uses a camera, i got some nice movement down however i havent got the camera working yet, i could just move everything but the player, however i thought that instead i could be moving the origin of the screen, which is normally at the top left of the screen. is there a function or library for this? Or will i have to think of something else myself?

Hi there, I am working on a small physics based game and would love to add in Box2D physics, since that's the only physics library for GLBasic I could find, so I found a Box2D library in the showroom, downloaded it, and ran the example project. The example project ran fine, but after compiling it within the editor it simply stated; *1 FAILED*. I created a hello world project, took the Box2D library and included it into my project, I ran it and the project failed, which leads me to believe that it's probably outdated, which is unfortunate since I was really hoping I could get some physics working

Anyone that can help me with this?



PS. I am very sorry about my frequent posts, I am rather new to GLBasic, so I am very curious as to of how things work. I will try to do as much research as I can on my own before posting anything.

Hi there, I was super excited to try out android studio, when I compiled to android it told me to install android studio so I did. I created a simple hello world program and when I compiled for android it started up android studio, started updating some stuff and after a long time of waiting I just got errors.

Ive tried a lot to make this work but nothing seems to work.
Is there maybe a tutorial or guide on how to use android studio?

Hi there, I am hoping to start a small chat project, however I would like to use DDGui for it, ive tried using DDGui however it seems quite dated and it doesn't seem to work how it is supposed to.

Can I still use DDGui today, if so; how do I use it, if not; are there any alternatives?

Hi there, I was wondering if I can create Perlin Noise (terrain generation) in GLBasic, I am very interested in procedural generation, so does anyone know GLBasic's capabilities of procedural generation?

Hi there, i was playing around with GLBasic, trying to make a polygon editing tool, i've included some code down below, it doesn't have any media included so you can just paste it into GLBasic and it should work. Anyways, currently I can add several poly vectors, which you can then create a shape with, however you can only create ONE shape.

Can anyone help me figure out on how to add more shapes?

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

// --------------------------------- //
// Project: PolyEdit
// --------------------------------- //
width=640
height=480
SETSCREEN width, height, 0 // Set the width and height of my screen
ALLOWESCAPE TRUE
SYSTEMPOINTER TRUE

setup: // Set up all variables and other systems
maxpoints=1
clicktogg=FALSE

TYPE poly
x=0
y=0
active=FALSE
ENDTYPE

GLOBAL polypoints[] AS poly
DIM polypoints[maxpoints]
GOTO main


main: // The main loop
MOUSESTATE mx, my, mba, mbb // Return mouse values

GOSUB polypoint

IF KEY(57) // Quickly resets the game
GOTO setup
ENDIF

drawpointer()
SHOWSCREEN
GOTO main

SUB polypoint:
IF mba=1 // Add a poly point once clicked
IF clicktogg=FALSE
clicktogg=TRUE

i=maxpoints-1

polypoints[i].x=mx
polypoints[i].y=my
polypoints[i].active=TRUE

maxpoints=maxpoints+1

LOCAL pointtmp AS poly

DIMPUSH polypoints[], pointtmp

FOR i=maxpoints-1 TO maxpoints-1
polypoints[i].x=0
polypoints[i].y=0
polypoints[i].active=FALSE
NEXT
ENDIF
ELSE
clicktogg=FALSE
ENDIF

FOR i=0 TO maxpoints-1 // Draw a little X at each poly point
IF polypoints[i].active=TRUE
PRINT "x", polypoints[i].x-7, polypoints[i].y-9
ENDIF
NEXT

STARTPOLY 1 // Draw the poly itself
FOR i=0 TO maxpoints-2
POLYVECTOR polypoints[i].x, polypoints[i].y, 0, 0, RGB(255,255,255)
NEXT
ENDPOLY
RETURN
ENDSUB


FUNCTION drawpointer:
DRAWLINE 0, my, width, my, RGB(255,255,255)
DRAWLINE mx, 0, mx, width, RGB(255,255,255)
ENDFUNCTION

Ps. Sorry for the messy code, I haven't cleaned it up yet

Hi there, I am working on an top down stealth game and I wanted to create a smooth top down movement, I wanted to add quick easing to the movement, Tho so far I have only been able to hardcode it in.

This is what I have so far:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

ALLOWESCAPE TRUE
width=1024
height=768
SETSCREEN width, height, 0 // Set screen resolution

LOADSPRITE "Media/player.bmp", 0 // Load all sprites and sounds


setup: // Setup all variables and other systems
px=width/2-64 // Player X
py=height/2-64 // Player Y
pspd=4 // Player speed
GOTO main


main: // The main loop
GOSUB move

DRAWSPRITE 0, px, py
SHOWSCREEN
GOTO main


SUB move:
IF KEY(17) // Add simple WASD movement
py=py-pspd
ENDIF

IF KEY(31)
py=py+pspd
ENDIF

IF KEY(30)
px=px-pspd
ENDIF

IF KEY(32)
px=px+pspd
ENDIF

RETURN
ENDSUB

Can anyone help me with this?
