PureBasic Forums - English

The 'ä' is probably not a regular umlaut character but a combination of multiple glyphs, like an 'a' followed by a combining diaeresis, that somehow gets misplaced on the 'n' (maybe a font issue or wrongly encoded ..or PB doesn't handle it correctly(?)).
for example see this:
https://stackoverflow ...

You might want to look into this as a starting point for a tokenizer:
Lexer for PB 4: viewtopic.php?t=22116
It's specifically for PB code, so not general.
In the mentioned german forum thread, the is a more up-to-date version.

BindEvent(#PB_Event_CloseWindow, @WindowClose(), StuffWindow)
BindEvent(#PB_Event_Menu, @PopupMenuStuffClick())

You didn't specify the StuffWindow for the menu bind, like you did for the close bind for example. That means from that point on, any menu event will trigger your procedure ...

There is also the option of dithering, alternating pixels between 127 and 128 to visually approach an 127.5
I wouldn't see the difference with my eyes if I wouldn't know it :) but there is a slight shimmering/flickering to the dithering.

When putting a black transparent image, all the aliasing is done with a black background, so when it is saved, you see the black artifact. To solve it, you need
to put a white based transparent background:
I don't have a Windows to test, but doesn't this just create white artifacts instead of ...

That works here too. But if i kill or close the app, the clipboard is still set correctly. PB probably uses gtk functions for clipboard, so maybe event processing is necessary to make it work. If that's the case, the clipboard library doc should mention that.

If i run xclipboard first and then run the code, then xclipboard as well as KDE clipboard manager shows the correct string.

SetClipboardText("abc123")

Doesn't seem to work here.
PureBasic 6.21 Beta 4 (Linux - x64)

I run this code, then open a new tab in the IDE and repeatedly press ctrl+v. Nothing is pasted the first couple of times and after a while what is pasted is what was in the clipboard ...

On Linux all images look the same, no dark edges. On Windows there is some strange blending going on. The transparent edges are blended with the transparent black. Color and alpha is not replaced during drawing but blended in some strange way. #PB_Image_Transparent is transparent black, that's why ...

The collapsing, as mentioned by IceSoft, still doesn't always work correctly. Particularly when moving down. When 2 same pieces collapse, the remaining pieces stay behind the gap and don't shift further.

I get the same Forbidden message on an older Ubuntu (18.04) / Firefox (113.0.2).
Works fine on Ubuntu (24.04.2) / Firefox (138.0.3).
I'm in Germany.

On the older system:

- even the english forum works fine via ...

While it would be nice, and other languages have that, it is far away. PB doesn't even have type checking for structure parameters, which you declare and pass as pointers and you can pass just any number, not even just integers then, and structures are already types, kind of. Compile-time checking ...

On linux something doesn't work with the GrabSprite(). When I use CreateSprite() instead, I can see the numbered squares:

For i=1 To 16
nb$=Str(nb)

StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(i))

You can define your items with a macro and keep counting. Not at compile time though. This depends on the runtime order of execution, so you will have to define your data before you use the count:
