PeekA(*pos+offset)

Yes I mean exactly that part. My concern: the parameter inside the bracket can not turn to be an addition in any case. Am I right? Sorry if the question is dumb, but I don't know how it is decided if it's an increment or not.


If you write an expression like:
a + b
the ...

The Syntax Highlighting of the PureBasic editor (Scintilla gadget) is based on the regular expression.
This regex can't distinguish if "name(value)" is a procedure "name" with parameter "value" or an array "name" with the index "value" or a map "name" with the key "value". Therefore the color is ...

Very nice trick. I like it.

Here you can see the effect of floats for DisplaySprite:
The top image has a smooth move to the right,
while the bottom image makes a step movement.

Dear threedslider,

you mix up different topic: dimension itself, dimension of objects in different dimensions, and the projection (image) of n-dimensional objects into a view.

Dimension itself:
A 4-dimensional (4D) space is a space were you have 4 linearly independent axis.
The easiest ...

No, you can not extrude the 4th dimension into a direction (dimension) you already did an extrusion.

Why not ? 4D is not a cube, it is more complicate than the 3D (cube, the very low approximation), i mean 4D is as double of 3D so it is 6D, this extra dimension adding the sub of 3D and more ...

4D is an extrusion of 6D, each sub 3D is 18D (6D * 3D), same as 3D but adding extra dimension to make 4D in 18D, it is most complicate to explain here :shock: :mrgreen:
What is your thought of that ? :lol: 8) :D
PS : Each dimension I extrude to extra dimension so it looks like that instead of ...

Confirmed.

The string has many space-characters at the end:

asked claude
or make an interpreter for purebasic.

Is this an example for or against KI generated code?
For me, such generated codes remain a nice gimmick, but have no practical use.
You can't really use something like that, can you?

Regarding the code itself:

Using Define in a procedure is ...

No, not on modern CPUs/FPUs. Nowadays, also MUL or FMUL need only a single clock cycle, similar to ADD or FADD.
But of course, adding 0.04 directly to the iteration variable is faster than iterating a dummy integer variable and then scale it.

Dear pf shadoko,

as the final release is getting closer, I want to note that there is still reported bug which you marked as fixed:
I get still an IMA at RenderScreenGadgets() when I click on an empty ListViewScreenGadget() near the border of the gadget.

Please note that loops with floats are not numerically stable.
Depending on the increment value, you sometimes reach the final value and sometimes not, even if you use doubles!
Define a.d, da.d

a = 0.0 : da = 0.1
While a <= 2
Debug StrD(a, 3)
a + da

Debug "---"

a = 0.0 : da = 0.2
While a ...

Without any code or snippets nor information at which point the main DLL or sub DLL crashes?

No!

Yes, as it is written in the documentation:
https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... odule.html

When the statements Define, EnableExplicit, EnableASM are used inside a module, they have no effect outside the respective module, and vice versa.
