Hi Guys

For any of you that like to read! *prepare for shameless plug*

My book is available on all the best online bookstores And is a popular Gift Item in the Game Programming categories...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Kids-Adventure-Spectrum-Commodore/dp/0993474462/

Aimed at those who grew up with Micros...

For those that might experience this issue in v16

I notice strange block chars appearing in my highscore tables at the start and end of a netwebget$.
It must be unicode issue or something...

Below is my fix for the issue..

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


scoretable$=NETWEBGET$("www.domain.com","/scoresxxxxxx.php",80,512,4000)

// cleanup string
LOCAL mstr$
FOR x = 1 TO LEN(scoretable$)
mstr$=MID$(scoretable$,x,1)
  IF ASC(mstr$)<32 OR ASC(mstr$)>96
      IF mstr$="|" THEN newscore$=newscore$+mstr$
  ELSE
      newscore$=newscore$+mstr$
  ENDIF
NEXT


I get this when I compile:

!!! EnableMouseInPointer() not found in user32.dll. If this is >=Win8, you get no mouse messages.

Is there a simple fix for this?

Hi

Is there a simple way to copy styles from GLB vX to GLB v16.?

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has tried the android studio update to build 32/64 versions of GLB apps for mobile?

Can't seem to find any docs on it - how to start / steps involved / etc.

Hi Guys

Looking for one that works without needing seedrnd?

Thks!

I know I am using an older versions of the GLB at the moment - I need to for my android apps (for now)
But my issue is that SEEDRND seems to be broken on it.

Is that the case or is there a workaround for it?

both version generate completely differently results for a seed.
Is it possible I am placing it in the wrong position in the code - does that factor into it?

Hi Guys,

For anyone that ready any of my books, I am looking for reviews on goodreads - they don't require anything other than reviewers are goodreads members. If you add to the shelf-tag of "Video Games" - that would be a bonus.

Does anyone know how to disable the 'clean project' icon?
I just clicked on it and undid tons of custom changes for me...

Luckily I had a backup but I want to avoid doing this again...

I have managed remove dy disabling the 'toolbar' panel - but ideally I just want the 'cleanup' icon removed.

Hi Guys

I am having problems getting shift+wasd keys working to detect if shift was depressed...It must be something painfully simple that i am doing wrong....

my code looks like so

keyLeft =key(30)
keyshift = key(42)

if keyleft and keyshift then do something

Hi Guys

Anyone know why this is appearing...what could cause it?

Just wondering if anyone has a solution for setting the fullscreen on GLB
So if a fullscreen fails then the screen window stretches to the desktop width and height...

I must be doing something wrong but my tries at using past examples of C++ inline code is not working...
is the way I am doing it?

Getting errors like so...
"C:/../..Printtest/stdio.h:39:24: no include path in which to search for stdio.h
C:\Users\..\..\Local\Temp\glbasic\gpc_temp0.cpp:101: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ';' "

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


GOSUB main

SUB main:
INLINE
}
#include <stdio.h>

namespace __GLBASIC__{
ENDINLINE

printf1()

PRINT "HELLO",100,100
SHOWSCREEN
KEYWAIT
ENDSUB




FUNCTION printf1:
INLINE

   char z[100] = "I am learning C programming language.";

   printf("%s", z);

   RETURN 0;


ENDINLINE


ENDFUNCTION

I am looking to find the best way to have multicoloured fonts (programmically) in GLB without the need for multiple bitmap fonts.

My own idea is create the font like 8-bit character set or UDGs and re-colour as needed.

Anyone else try this or have an idea or tricks up-their-sleeves of how to go about?

Little game idea I am working on ....

Apologies in advance as I forgot to enable the quit menu etc.

Guys

Anyone have any good tricks to force a windowed "landscape" game to go fullscreen?
I currently only get it working on 1366 x 768 and some others but want to get it working on larger screens too
