I'm guessing this is a quick help fault rather than a help article fault, so apologies if I've posted to the wrong place. There is a discrepancy between the parameters given in the help article: ParticleVelocity(#ParticleEmitter, Minimum, Maximum) and the quick help: ParticleVelocity(#ParticleEmitte...

I'm surely doing something fundamentally wrong?! Yes, but probably not in the way you were expecting. You've created the emitter at -50, 0, 50 but the camera is at 2, 1, 3 and looking at 0, 0, 0. The emitter is working fine but the camera can't see it, the action is all taking place behind the came...

I can't claim any of the credit there! But yes, it's a really interesting demonstration of what the particle library can do.

Yup I'd be thinking about using the particle library. Have a look at Particle2.pb and Particle3.pb in the Examples\3D folder - see if there's any styles that are close to what you're thinking of. By default the particles will have no direction or velocity - so they just appear, stay put and do nothi...

An RVA isn't "loaded into memory", it's a method of referring to a VA by using a base address of something and an offset which indicates the respective location. If you tell us a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish we might be able to give you a more useful answer.

There's a pitfall that you should be aware of. A slightly different scenario, where the work takes place before the SignalSemaphone, could lock up the main event loop. I guess that's the sort of thing you're trying to avoid: Procedure MyThread_Two(param) date$=PeekS(param) Sleep_(60000) SignalSemaph...

Just out of curiosity - why are you feeling the need to pause the threads for so long before exiting?

That would explain it, and

More correctly the new version should have a different behaviour but doesn't. See the change history help article for 6.10LTS, Changed item number 5.

The new behaviour of ListSize and MapSize on a freed item doesn't work, it halts with an error the same as previous versions. Tested on PB6.10LTS x86 and x64, ASM and C backends. Debug "* Array *" Dim MyArray.I(5) Debug ArraySize(MyArray()) FreeArray(MyArray()) Debug "" + ArraySi...

In the return value section:
(for example after @freearrayor if its initialization has failed).

Use enumeration: I'd suggest being shorter on the "Window" bit for conciseness ie Win, Wdw or even Wn, and use longer and always descriptive names. So never #Window_1 but always something like #WinLogin, #WinSchemaWarning, #BtnOk, #BtnCancel, #MnuFile... I also assign enumeration names to...

There must be one somewhere. The compiler will halt with an error, if there isn't. It's possible that you can't currently see it though. The IDE supports code folding which may be causing parts of the code to be hidden. Check for small + marks in boxes adjacent to line numbers. These indicate sectio...

Have a look at this thread, it presents several possible alternatives: https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=590388
