If the goal is to avoid division you could also do

Most of the forums I grew up with are gone or show very little activity.
That's true. I believe I first heard about PureBasic from you when we were active on the Koolmoves forum at Flash Kit.
The forum still exists but there haven't been any posts last few years.


We're fortunate to still have ...

If you do want mp3 output for morse, I guess it should also be possible to have the mp3 data for a dot and the mp3 data for a dash and just chain them all together in the right way.

Decoding it is actually quite tricky. I would probably go with an FFT to find the frequency then feed it into goertzel which is like an DFT for a specific frequency. it outputs the magnitude so then you can feed it in and measure the on offs

Wouldn't it be possible to just look at volume ...

But I always compile in x64, so if I understand you correctly, it shouldn't cause any problem (still going to do proper declarations for sure).

When using 64 bit, most procedure arguments are passed by registers but even if the stack is used, the 64 bit calling conventions require the caller to ...

In other words, is it a problem?

Yes, it's a problem (on Windows x86).

There are different calling conventions for different systems and processors.
On Windows x86 the default calling convention (stdcall) requires the callee to clean up the stack. In this case it's important the amount of ...

I didn't watch the whole movie, only the first part but I don't believe we live inside a black hole.

Within the PureBasic event loop, the objects marked for autorelease, are released regularly.
If you need them to be released more often you can use your own autorelease pool.

School is part of a system. The whole system is broken (as I see it).
It's build on competition, striving to be 'better' as others and overrating intellectual capabilities.
So many people are struggling emotionally, are glued to a screen or have some other kind of addiction to escape from their ...

It's hard to tell without seeing more code.
The C conversion looks fine.
It's indeed very important what variable types you used for these variables.
A wrong variable type can cause problems.

Are you sure the problem is with these two instructions ?
I don't know what "z80 all instructions exerciser ...

But recently I saw someone complain that "findstring" was slow

It depends on what you need it for.
It is especially slower as what you can achieve if you need to do multiple searches on a long string.
In the example code you posted you start FindString at a certain position but all characters ...

Small variation to the code of mk-soft

This is not a bug.
You can't use inline asm like this with the C backend.
The ! mark is used for inline C when you are using the C backend.

Procedure.d EnvolverAngulo(angle.d)
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Backend = #PB_Backend_C
!return remainder(v_angle, 6.2831853071795865);

There is a dispute, which executable should be used on Windows-x64 if there are two files x86 and x64?

On x64, a memory pointer is 8 bytes, on x86 it is 4 bytes.
If the software you are running uses a lot of memory pointers like for example it uses a huge linked list, the x64 version of the ...

Because you don't check the blue very much, it misses out on magenta.

My code doesn't check the blue at all.
It's a choice you have to make.
Your red/magenta source image gets brighter at the right.
Your dithered image gets darker at the right.
Personally I don't like that side effect for real ...
