*MyVar.MyStructure = Your_Function()

Sorry, I don't have PB installed on this computer. You don't have to use copy memory like you said. You can assign a pointer, defined as a structure, a memory value returned by the dll. So your functions can do something like this:

ProcedureReturn @DLLVar ...

I like A* path finding, with quad trees, but in a racing game, your cars are trying to get from point A to point A again. How would you force A* to do laps?

I don't know if anyone can provide the answer, and it's not greatly important, I'm just curious:

I've been working on a 2d sprite engine in PB with opengl and one thing I can't figure out how to do is implement a function similar to Sprite3DQuality(). It is my understanding, in OpenGL, to set the ...

When using OpenGL, I start with SDL to create the window for me:

Screen = SDL_SetVideoMode_(width, height, depth, #SDL_OPENGL | #SDL_FULLSCREEN)

Then, to get your wheel events:

While SDL_PollEvent_(@Event.SDL_Event)

Select Event\Type
Case #SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN
If Event\button\button = 4 ...

Non-squared sprites?

Assuming you're using your own "file browser" to display the images. You can use DrawImage() to place one image over another. Then use that as the "icon" of the file.

I just noticed, when using PrintN() that the debugger will halt the program and complain if I haven't previously used OpenConsole(), but with the debugger off and no OpenConsole() PrintN() works just fine. Just thought that I'd point that out.

Note: I don't know if this anomaly exists in the newer ...

@cas, I also over looked TryLockMutex() while I was wondering if there was a way to go ahead and do other stuff until the mutex was unlocked. Good tip.

I don't think a program should 'hang' at LockMutex() because (if I understand correctly) that request would get in line and wait it's turn ...

Yup, common problem. I think InitKeyboard() should set KeyboardMode(#PB_Keyboard_International) by default.

I guess I didn't see it here then. I didn't figure it was going to be that easy. Looks like I have some research to do. Thank for the pointers guys.

I thought I saw this once, but after searching the forums I haven't been able to find it. What I'm looking for is sample code that will let you let you extract a file (by name) from a zip into memory. The only thing I've been able to find, however, code to use wrappers that use gzip instead of ...

Wow, netmaestro, this had me confused for a bit. I saw that you were talking about the beta of 4.1 and left me thinking why you weren't using anything newer yet, then I saw the date. But then I lol'd at the thought of you taking 3 years to come up with a smart remark about 2 windows no longer being ...

I don't know about opengl with gtk, but you can use opengl with sdl:

Screen = SDL_SetVideoMode_(width, height, depth, #SDL_OPENGL | #SDL_HWSURFACE)

Then you can get mouse and keyboards through the SDL_PollEvent

also, if you ./purebasic from a terminal, all Print and PrintN outputs will go to that terminal.
