Solved it!

The problem was that I was loading a font in the main drawing loop of the game. It was my mistake. I didn't know that would cause such strange random crashes. It kind of makes sense though cause loading a font might cause some type of delay or maybe asynchronous code execution. So the ...

I should first say that I am using PB 5.73 cause I want the original backend for now.

Anyway, I am making a game in PB that uses an OpenWindowedScreen(). Now for some really strange reason I can't figure out (nor can ChatGPT - it gives me random irrelevant stuff) why the call StartDrawing ...

You don't have to convert the images to icons, you can do this instead:

hIcon1 = CatchImage(#PB_Any, ?ChkImage)
hIcon2 = CatchImage(#PB_Any, ?XImage)

SendMessage_(GadgetID(0),#BM_SETIMAGE,#IMAGE_BITMAP,ImageID(hIcon1))
SendMessage_(GadgetID(1),#BM_SETIMAGE,#IMAGE_BITMAP,ImageID(hIcon2 ...

Oh, also I should keep to my word about the paypal. I ended up using BarryG's post. If you want, you can PM me.

It's as simple as this -> https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=542202#p542202


Thank you. This was super simple and clean.
I altered it to better fit my needs however. I wanted the images stored in the data section and in PNG format, not ICO. Turns out it didn't require too much ...

Hi,
Can someone please help me or provide a code sample for how to draw an image on a native ButtonGadget (with text) or how to draw text on a ButtonImageGadget? I'd much rather try drawing the image on the normal ButtonGadget though. The reason is because I want the button to retain the native ...

Are there any sample codes or libraries that would be compatible with standards like GnuPG (OpenPGP)?
I'm just trying to make a simple app that can encrypt/decrypt a file in this way rather than an old fashioned password. I'm not knowledgeable in the realm of cryptography and I'm basically just ...

I thought some of you might find this useful or somewhat interesting. There are programs out there such as youtube-dl and many browser extensions to download from video sites. Sometimes I come across a new site that uses m3u8 to store their videos and I don't like to run many untrusted extensions in ...

Someone I'm helping learn PB has discovered what seems like a pretty serious bug in the visual designer when making sub-menus. I searched and I could not turn up anything. Maybe we are both just overlooking something in the designer?

We are using PB 5.73. Maybe it's fixed in the beta?

Here's what ...

:twisted: I just realized something that is probably unkosher?
I figured out that IncludeFile pulls other code files into the same scope as the main file. When I first started this program, I didn't plan on it getting large, so I just used variables on the fly without declaring them. I don't ...

I also use the FormDesigner for many windows. But I switch off #PB_Any and the 'Generate event procedure'.
Then I write the event management myself by hand.


Are you saying that if you do that it will allow you to write the event loop in that .pbf file? Cause that would be the most intuitive for ...

So I have a few years experience in PB, but I have not yet made a program that has many windows until now. I have my event loop for the main window in my main source file; in this same file is where I put all my functions. I use the form designer to make new windows, but it tells me not to place the ...

Number 5 looks so wrong. Can that be redesigned? Looks like an upside-down "2" (even though it isn't).


I know, but that's realistic. Real nixie tubes look exactly like that. I have some. However, someone is helping me with the graphics and designed new nixie tubes which may be featured in the ...

A new version is available on my website now: http://dosaidsoft.com/wp/2022/03/25/rea ... ocks-v1-5/

There may be some small bugs in the chimes and alarm, let me know.

I discovered I could do it this way cause it's super simple:

Procedure.i SaveDays()
BinBuilder.s = "%"
Dim WeekDay(6)
WeekDay(0) = Checkbox_Mon : WeekDay(1) = Checkbox_Tue : WeekDay(2) = Checkbox_Wed : WeekDay(3) = Checkbox_Thu : WeekDay(4) = Checkbox_Fri
WeekDay(5) = Checkbox_Sat : WeekDay(6 ...
