GLBasic - en / AndroidExtras update questions. Also Marshmellow file access
« on: 2016-Jul-21 »
Excellent. Can you send me the changes made to the GLBasic code? I found you have a new function: float AndroidFloatCode(int skey)
Where do you use it?
Also, I can't seem to load some resources. And I don't seem to be able to write to DOCUMENTS (Android 6.0 here).
I get:
07-20 21:53:15.807 13711 13739 I glbasic : /data/data/com.glbasic.gacknonfree/files/Media/projects/version.txt

Announcements / GLBasic V14
« on: 2015-Aug-13 »
The cleanup process is coninuing. The new v14 will be the next platform that will get long-time support.
This time the setup only contains the Win32 compilers, but with all headers. You can get the platform packages, that YOU need.
Each of the packages is able to compile the GLBasic source code, thus it's easy to start adding new platforms if you dare or help me fix problems.
The folder structure is a lot clearer now, I think you get the idea easily.
The news:
PRESCALER (read the manual) offers you a way to bring your Caanoo games to Android with one line of code: PRESCALER 320,240 // done!
Also for TYPEs, each TYPE has a function dbg(), that uses DEBUG to print all type variables.
Furthermore, I fixed a few bugs. Also for v12! Get the update if you don't want to try v14.

Off Topic / Amiga disc to adf
« on: 2015-Feb-21 »
Hi
at mom's attic, I found a bunch of old Amiga discs with games I once programmed. Does anyone here have the tools to create disk file or copy the data to a PC? It's about 10 discs that are of interest.

Off Topic / A Christmas present!
« on: 2014-Dec-25 »
How’s things? Did you get all your presents? I hope so for you.
But there’s one present you did not open. It’s not wrapped nicely, but it’s the one that you that shines more than any other. It’s the “Christmas“ gift.
If you think about the “Christmas” story – god became man - you might wonder “Why would he?”. And that is the right question to ask. Why would an almighty, above-all god want to become human like us? The rich one get poor, the high get low, the infinite get limited? The answer is found in the end of his human life.
God describes Himself as a “holy God”, that is clean and without sin. And as such, there can’t be any sin in His presence. Which is a problem, because I am a sinner? There are many things in my life that are not correct and I know that. I don’t know you, but God told us in Rom:3,23 that “there is no difference, all have sinned”. And this sin is a gap between God and us. This gap, however, was closed when Jesus Christ came and paid for our sins. The innocent had himself punished for the guilty, the immortal died for the mortal.
It’s a gift. It’s for free. It promises freedom from fear of “what comes next?” and restores the broken community with God.
“His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6)
That’s what’s inside the “box”. It’s there for you, waiting to be opened.
And it’s just one prayer away. Get into a lockable room, tell Him where your life went wrong and take the promise that it has been paid for. Take peace for good.
You might have a hard time – break up, got unemployed, a disease. I can’t promise you a change. But I experienced peace and freedom in getting Jesus as my saviour. A good counsellor in all situations. He never let me alone. A friend. A loving and caring father.
