I've just switched to Linux Mint and have a small problem. I used to use ModifyMenu commands to align MenuItem columns from one long column to several smaller columns. Is this possible in Linux Mint? Couldn't find any topic about this by searching. Any examples or suggestions. Really enjoy the ...

After turning 80 I started my bucket-list of math. Got through Apollonian Circles, Barycentric Coordinates, etc. I found that about half of the programs I was working on needed a Matrix library. So that is my dream program/library. Just enough to solve for all eigenvalues (real and imaginary ...

Hi Ideas - thanks for the quick response. I have one folder and three files in that location
SpiderSolitaire
spidersolitairesettings.xml 274kb
windowsprefs.xml 1kb
windowsprefs.xml.bak 1kb
I guessing that my score is part of the first file. I'll save those files before installing the Windows8 ...

Hi - I am using the MS Games for Windows 8x64 on my Windows10 computer and have a pretty good score of almost 900 games in a 100% run. I'm thinking of getting a new computer and wondered if there is any way to save my Spider Solitaire score and then export it into a new computer. Couldn't find any ...

Hi - I went to make some changes to my art program and found out I now have a problem. The slideshows all have music mp3s. But now the command LoadMovie(1,"artist.mp3") stops the program and an error message comes up that the path for common.msi can't be found. If I keep clicking on the error ...

Hi - Blake of Scotland Yard did this back in 1937 - until the Scorpion got in the way.

Hi - I got locked out again and had to get the temp password. Also no CAPTCHA using Firefox 3.6.

Hi - is there any native PB way to set the menu color, especially when highlighting? I used to get a nice, darker blue, but now highlighting is only slightly darker than the original. I'm looking for a PB way to set the menu colors; or maybe an API. Would like not to use a library. BTW, if I use the ...

Hi - Great game
Any way to reset the red and white pegs to "0" at the start of a new game?
When it got stumped in the old version you had to close and restart. Haven't stumped it yet in the new version so don't know it it's still that way.
Good job

Hi - think the problem was all mine. I was using information from an array and made the window the same size so it was one pixel off. Then I made a full size sprite to draw to but thought it had to be one pixel smaller than the array, so now I was two pixels off. When I ran the program I guess the ...

Hi - I've converted may of my OpenWindowedScreen programs to use CreateSprite,Spriteoutput() and Flipbuffers(). The programs work great in XP but now and then, when running less than full-screen programs, I can see several rows of colored dots above the arrow or I-bar cursor. These dots alternate ...

Hi - what is OpenWindow using only a flag of $80000 doing? I see that the $80000 is part of the SystemMenu value of $C80000, which adds the TitleBar. Also $80000,$80001 and $80002 all work just as well. Guess this is because a full screen is centered.
It seems that with this flag I can open a window ...

Thanks for the help Kaeru. Your advice to think of another way to draw worked. I tried containers, images, imagegadgets, etc. Finally settled on using CreateSprite and Startdrawing(Spriteoutput(0)). This method compiles ok on Vista using dx9. It does change some of my pallet colors but that's ok ...
