I'm sure yours is better.

IDE/Syntax / Folding of Functions in the IDE

« on: 2009-Aug-06 »

Can you or would it be possible to make it so you can fold functions in the IDE - just giving the title of the funciton.  ONce you have a working function it could then be compressed - this makes your code much easier to read.  Have used this before in another basic IDe and it was really helpful as I find following code can be really hard as it grows.

2D / Support Fullscreen at lower resolutions or make windows scalable

« on: 2009-Aug-06 »

Title says it all really.  For retroremakes it would be helpful to support fullscreen at 320x200, 320x240 etc

or

Could you make windows scalable so that they can be dragged to any size on the desktop?

GLBasic - en / Help for a beginner

« on: 2009-Aug-06 »

Hi

Having frequented retroremakes for a number of years there are a number of familiar names on this site. - so hello old friends!  Having been a Blitz devotee for a number of years, I took up Gernots's offer of an education licence for my school and have been experimenting with GL basic.  I converted one of my games over without too much trouble and now am reviving an old project - Target Renegade Remix - by starting from scratch and rewriting/reusing old code.  I have hit two problems and both of them are quite major and probably linked to my understanding of GL basic.

1. Fullscreen - I can't run at fullscreen or expand teh window to fullscreen at a resolution of 320x200.  Can go fullscreen at 320x240?  This works in blitz.  Any ideas?

2. I am trying to detect simultaneous button presses for cntrl and an arrow key to produce a back kick but I just can't get it to work.  The code is included below - any suggestions, please let me know (I tried a different key instead of cntrl as I wondered if it was a hardware problem with the keyboard but this made no difference).
