I would want todo this


a.f=2.5
b.f=5.3
c.f=25.6
For t=b To c Step a
Next t

No big problem.
You already can do that. It's a syntax question:

Code: Select all

a.f=2.5 
b.f=5.3 
c.f=25.6 
t=b:Repeat

t+a:Until t>c

I thought almost all professional games use around 100% cpu when the game is in focus but when it is not the cpu useage is very low. Correct? Afaik you can do that in PB too, just check if the game is active and then when it is not just delay the game.

I wonder how KEGA-fusion emulator (for example) can do so perfect and smooth sync while it waste LESS THAN 2% EVERYTIME when running an emulated game. I've tested megaturrican, bloodlines, and other games in a AMD K7 900MHz GEFORCE2 32MB and on a Athlon64 3000+ with ATI Radeon 9600, and in both scrolling and sprites movements are incredibly smooth (syncronized to pc monitor refresh, which emulator put to 60Hz as soon it starts).
My desktop is at 1024*768*32, and this is the config if you want to test it:

Probably better programmers then we are...

Yeah! but we must demand Fred to do PureBasic to make things for us

Professional games only use the required CPU power, and using 100% CPU over a longer period might damage the CPU if you're cooling is not good enough.
I have to open the window sometimes because my computer generates to much heat at 100% CPU.

@Joakim Christiansen,

Not sure to understand well : what window do you mean ?

When my PC is burnin 100% of the CPU, I can't open one.

why not for-next - step?

you believe that Fred cannot do it?

A great wish by me is an extra PureBasic-compiler wich compiles to DOS-executables.
It should support VESA.

THX

And who are using DOS these days?
Don't you also want a compiler for Commodore 64?

No.
But a ZX-81 Sinclair-Compiler would be very great
