I don't know how inefficient or bad this is, but my tests are passing. There's probably many other better ways, but the original quad value is never converted to a double in this case.

My bad.
Evidently it was something specific to my laptop at home as the computer at works shows everything as expected.
thanks for the help everyone.
I have another fun mystery

Indeed, it might be the resolution scaling in that case

Do you have resolution scaling set to i.e. 125% or 150%? You can try with the scaled sizes:


#SIZEXY = 400

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, #SIZEXY, #SIZEXY, "2DDrawing Example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SizeGadget)
scaledX = DesktopScaledX(#SIZEXY)
scaledY ...

Interesting, I see that someone took code from my CodePen and merged it into Prism.js
-> https://github.com/PrismJS/prism/blob/master/components/prism-purebasic.js

Comes from https://codepen.io/ImagineProgramming ...

Thank you, that confirms what I assumed.

Hi there,

This question is out of pure curiosity, however I've been wondering about methods for automatically translating property names to a different case. I would like to be able to name structure fields with the pascal case convention, but json properties with the snake case convention. If you ...

It's all solved; working perfectly...

Good to hear!

I wouldn't say a pain, when you choose Lua you always have to align your requirements with the environment you're in.
So yes, a bit of effort depending on the situation :D


I expect effort; but it's how much I'm willing to put in to add something to a program -- My goal was to permit the user ...

It really depends actually. if you're using LuaJIT, there's functionality built in. I've called DLLs using it before. http://luajit.org/ext_ffi.html
It's not a third-party module. The page says:

The FFI library is tightly integrated into LuaJIT (it's not available as a separate module).

If you ...

Hi Jassing,

What are you attempting to do? Do you want to create a Lua module, or do you merely want to invoke a DLL from Lua?

If you want to do the first, the functions invoked by loadlib should;
- Use the CDECL calling convention (i.e. ProcedureCDLL)
- Return an 32-bit int (PB's .l) describing ...

That's nice :D I personally wanted an integrated solution so that I could use the PureBasic libraries as they are.

Ah I see you implemented that as well, cool. You could ask the creater of the format to enlist your implementation on the reference repo as well :)

P.S. Why not make your own ...

Hi folks,

I created a pure-PureBasic implementation of the Qoi image format based on the specification and reference encoder/decoder.
It is an include-only solution and can be found in QoiImagePlugin.pbi here: https://github.com/Imagine-Programming/QoiImagePlugin

It's far from optimized yet ...

Is that not only true for Windows?

I can't seem to reproduce this in x64 PureBasic 5.72,
where are you clicking when this seems to happen?

Maybe another application is not calling the next hook in the chain in certain situations.

Hi,

this doesn't work for the current PB Version.
Really need crc64 - fast for string and file.
Can you help?

thanks

Try it now, I merely moved the datasection outside of the procedure;
