This is so much fun. I did the same thing a several years ago that I use as my primary editor for c/javascript(weird combo I know).
One thing to look into is the Language Server Protocol. It will help you index source code and provide you with autocomplete and many more tools that make today's ...

Re: AIs
It's not stupid. Most of these AI's are scraping places such as github because Microsoft thinks that's okay.
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is using Windows to help train these chat bots.

Re: School is not the place for hackers
Ask yourself why so many elected officials from both sides of the isle send their children to private schools?
Their children do not vote. They send them to private schools because they can afford them. There is no conspiracy here, that's just how it is.
Private does not mean high cost. Many ...

Re: School is not the place for hackers
The fix is privatization. If you pay for something, you appreciate it way more than a handout.
This is not a good solution. Privatization just means education will be even more inaccessible for people especially poorer families. Education should not be limited to the elite.
And the logic behind ...

Re: coordinates of text
I'm not sure how you could get text width in purebasic but y is pretty simple. It's just font size. If you want to get the height of multiple lines then it's just font size multiplied by the number of new lines in your string

With OpenGL to achieve this effect all you need to do is change your projection before the draw call of the mesh you want to draw as "2D"

Re: Is it possible to create a login form with the 3d engine without using CEgui?
If you want to make your own UI library ( WARNING!!! this is extremely addictive) I would suggest looking over the IMGUI source code to get a feel of how event handling would work.

Re: Anthropocene
We have already entered the anthropocene. I would say since the 80s at least. After all, once upon a time we poked a giant hole in the ozone layer.

Re: SQL help on formatting
Stored procedures is absolutely the way to go when designing a database application with user input.
TEXT and BLOB have performance issues when tables are very large and Base64 is just TEXT or BLOB anyway and doesn't achieve anything but add in two extra steps for each query.

Re: Does anyone have examples for learning purposes on importing 2d sprite and applying glsl shader to it?
There's more to it than this but the gist is:
Change your shader program before drawing your sprite :mrgreen:
I think most people don't do it this way and just depend on attributes to change the state of a mega-shader but both ways will involve CPU to GPU uploads so if you're looking for speed to ...
