PureBasic Forums - English

One thing i have found during my work with PureBasic and OpenGL (while writing 64kb intros) is that the ordinary way to use delay does not work.
One way is to use StartProgramCounter-CurrentCounter to get the time elapsed. This is however sometimes a pain, so i started using SetTimer_() to get a ...

So, here is yet another game the computer beats us in.
Wrote this piece of code while working on a su doku generator/game.
I just had to write it when i came up with the idea to use OR to check
wich numbers could not be used.
Will probably release the finished product here ...

well, a basic filechange patcher would only be able to patch a file of a specific version, and if there are any deleted stuff it would go nuts and build a huge database. Well, a patch-datafile could look something like this:

Position.l, BytesToPatch.l, Data(BytesToPatch.l).b

To create a patchfile ...

Well, you will have to go through a lot of problem with WinPCAP if you just want to listen to all data transmitted over the network and then check for something specific for that program. You could just try to connect to every host on a port.
Here is an probably old and buggy version of a network ...

I use BMP while developing and then convert to PNG/JPEG when its time to publish.
It IS possible to use large OGG-files, however you need to encode them with the original OGG-Vorbis encoder and with a few special parameters. I have only got it to work with 22.05kHz however.
The problem seems to be ...

Works like a charm and is faster than the not working method i used before. THANKS!

Is there any way to convert a sprite to an image?
Trying to create an AVI on the fly with AVIServ, but when not using SaveSprite & LoadImage (slow) it wont work...
Tried ImageOutput() and some other things, but nothing works!

Well, not at the same time as networking...

Any idea?

This code will NOT screw up the CDROM


mciOpenParms.MCI_OPEN_PARMS
mciStatus.MCI_STATUS_PARMS
a.s = "cdaudio"
mciOpenParms\lpstrDeviceType = @a.s
dwReturn = mciSendCommand_(0, #MCI_OPEN, #MCI_OPEN_TYPE, mciOpenParms)
wDeviceID = mciOpenParms ...

Windows 2000, writeing a program that will sense if there is a CDROM in a specific drive and then try to read a file from it. For detection i use this code:

Procedure WaitForCD()
Debug "WaitForInsert"
If CDAudioStatus() = -1
Repeat
CheckQ()
Delay(300)
Until CDAudioStatus() = 0
EndIf ...

Heightmap: 257x257x8bit (WinXP says 32bit)
http://www.wavelsoftware.com/pic2pic.htm <- converts nicely
Texture: 1024x1024 works good
CreateTerrain("Terrain\" + Terrain.s + ".png", MaterialID(LastMaterial()), 4, 0.6, 4, Screen\Precision) ;with this code, not directly in the demo however.

Hm, i dont personaly like the FTPClient part of InternetExplorer, and i guess it uses that API :>

When developing client/server applications for existing protocols, please consult RFC

http://www.rfc-editor.org/

And its more fun to write your own without those APIs

Ill try that, as long as they do the same thing i dont have to rewrite loads and loads of code :>

YES! Cant wait to get my hands on the Linux version...
