Bug Reports / Please create first. (solved)
« on: 2019-Oct-28 »
Just in case someone has this problem again.
My daughter wanted to play around with GLBasic and created a project. She is of the younger generation that never had problems with native characters in filenames (åäö for example). We spent a few minutes searching errors and testing old projects before I saw what the name of the project was :-)
So, if you get this error message:
---------------------------
Please create first.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Make sure that your project name does not contain any funny characters. For safety reasons stay with A-Z,.-_ and numbers. :-)

Would this be useful as a basis for learning shaders to use in GLBasic?

Discord seems to have some way to integrate games with game lobby functionality now. Mabe worth a look for multiplayer games too?

Off Topic / Bash Widespread Vulnerability Discovered
« on: 2014-Sep-25 »
Another bad vulnerability, check your linux-derivative devices, bug precent for 20 years...
http://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=14/09/25/0010205
Now the period comes that everyone was saying 20 years ago. Linux is only secure because not enough users to make it worthwhile to hack it. Now since every phone, server and router is running it, it's a very nice target.

GLBasic - en / ENCRYPT$ output binary data?
« on: 2013-Nov-21 »
Can ENCRYPT$ be made to return binary data instead of a string encoded as hexadecimal?
Can DECRYPT$ be made to accept this binary string data too?
If I'm not totally mistaken, this would lower the storage/transfer space by 50%.
Sure I can convert the hexadecimal string back to binary but this takes time and for a network application on a slow computer I would like to stay away from this :-)

GLBasic - en / Pandora - compile
« on: 2012-Dec-11 »
Guess what? I just got my Pandora! And now I want to get something running from GLBasic. I could use some tutorial for dummies I guess. So far I have managed to compile into .pnd file format. First compile seems to always create a .pnd file that contains a PXML.xml-file that contains no data (0 size). Second compile usually manages to get the PXML.xml-file unharmed. On transfer to Pandora the file still does not show up even though I put it in /pandora/desktop/.
Only once I managed to get it to show up with the GLBasic logo as icon on desktop but I can't recreate this. And besides, it still didn't launch. None of the above files launch even if I search them out in the file explorer and start them from there. I see no logfiles in /tmp/ where they usually show up after launching a pnd file.
Any ideas/help is appreciated! :-)

This is a coding competition for Caanoo, Wiz, Pandora and Dingoo's Dingux developers. With this competition we hope to generate more awesome homebrew games for our favorite consoles and our beloved communities. We hope you join and help us bring these communities together in ways never before seen.
This competition is in the spirit of community. As such, you are required to join up with one of your fellow developers / artist / coder / sound / composer / game-designer / magician etc. to create something as a team. We hope this will result in a lot of "artist/coder needed for my awesome idea" threads on the boards and people will help each other out. Remember, you can submit several entries, so your talent could be shared between teams as well.
