"FOREACH"... yay... no more BOUNDS in my FOR loops
"DIMPUSH"... array as a stack?
"DELETE" ... pop off of stack?


Looks very cool, types are turning out to be REALLY powerful in GLBasic!

Because it irrelevant to the error I'm afraid.

Code there or not, the error revolves around functions returning types in this situation.

Sprite animation loader...

Slayers little function...

...solves this...

player1= loadimage("tile.bmp",32,32,18)Will load in 18 sprite frames, 32x32, from the sprite map "tile.bmp"... in one command.

GLBasic is fast, simple to learn and cross platform (unlike all those other Basics you mentioned)

Inline "C" and access to the internal rendering pipepline makes it great if you feel like getting really technical BUT if you dont, the current command set is simple and powerful enough to create ANY type of game... an ISO RPG should be no problem at all. I would not worry about starting one in GLBasic.

On the IDE, the window to the right of the source code window, click on the "Files" tab...

This will show you a tree view of the files included in your project.

"Main Program" is your actual program
"Sources" is your included GLBasic libraries

To add a file to your project (and compile it as part of your program)... right click on "Sources" and then, via the pop-up menu, "Open File" to add your include file (or "New File" to create one)

A new tab will appear in the source window, allowing you to edit this file. Any functions, types or variables, within this file, are now accessible as part of the main program.

:s

F12 ?

Thanks Gernot

Is there a hot key for this?

Small problem Command Completion (CTRL+T), still makes the cursor vanish... not a biggie as a quick click of the mouse locates it to the mouse pointer.

This has started working half way through my current session... Ill try figure out the trigger is to make it work...

Very nice!

Well done!

No problem Gernot, its always nice to have a new update.

My GLBasic says 4.132 and its up to date, so it wont update to the new version?

Cool, this is like "space war"... the 1st game ever I think.
