It seems to me that if I see a few more such expressive examples of 3D applications, then I will also have different ideas so that I can test myself in 3D programming. 

LitDev Extension 1.2.29.0 released.

   

I am also changing the logic so the Extension Manager gets the beta version with minor version increment number.  Since most changes are small/additions which are unlikely to break anything and they are most likely being used in new code.

The main website (and github) version will remain the major version updates and be the only ones with all the extra samples etc, updated once in a while.

So the latest EM beta is now 1.2.29.1.

Here Is Updated Version Of ZS Extension.

I Made A Small Extension For SmallBasic In SharpDevelop As My First Extension In CSharp.
It Is ZSCmd Contain Only One Method For Execute Of Any Cmd Command.
Here You Can Download It : https://www.mediafire.com/file/ftwbu27mv...d.zip/file
I Will Be Very Grateful To Litdev If This Extension Will Be Added In Extension Manager.
Here Is Sample Code To Try

I don't think it is possible but... can I use a SB BASIC program, such as my Concentration test, on a navigator such as Chrome ? 

I have seen on the "Publish" button that we can install Microsoft Silverlight. 
It is to be able to execute à SB program on a navigator ?

Even more, would it be possible on Chrome or Safari on a smartphone ?

Thanks

Hello,

Several interesting projects about MS Small Basic which I discovered on itch.

So Many Projects Working In Our Community So I Started A New Project.
ZSDesk
In This Project I Am Using LDClient And LDServer To Control Graphic Window On Another Computer From Another Computer So That Friends Can Write On Each Other Screen , Draw Text , Add Buttons.
But Everyone Will Have Their Own Code To Communicate (Basically IP : Port of Server).
I Will Soon Provide First Version Of The Program.
I Named This Project ZSDesk (A Small Competitor Of Anydesk).
Any Ideas Are Welcome

Hello, it's me again 

I try to improve my level, so I began another SB project : a life game (NVCV425.000)
I would like to know how to make it run faster, as with big grids it becomes very slow.


For exemple, is there a faster way to display the living cells than using GraphicsWindow.FillRectangle ?


My only idea at this moment to make it a little faster is to merge these 2 Subs (because they can be done in the same loop) :
Sub AffichageTableau               ' displays current Gen grid
Sub CreationTableau_NextGen  '  create nextGen grid

If you have any idea... 

I'm going to have a go at a LDPhysics based game - I've never actually written a whole game using this, only demos, so fancy having a go.  I liked the approach AbsoluteBegginer took sharing the stages of his development of AI game so plan to do the same here.  LDPhysics uses the Box2D physics engine (as was used for Angry Birds and many other physics based games) and is very powerful, but does need a bit of physics knowledge.  When I added it to LD extension I wrote some documentation for it that you can see here.

I plan the game to be based on a platform system with some main game goal, with a player that can find stuff to help like bombs, arrows to shoot ropes to climb etc.  The player will pick things with left mouse and action things with right mouse button and move with arrow keys.  The physics engine works best with things happen roughly on the scale of 1m, which by default is set to 10 pixels.  Initially I will stick with this and make the game area 1000x800 pixels which corresponds to 100x80 m.  I will make my player 10*25 pixels which is quite small, but see how I get on.

The first challenge is to move the player nicely.  InBox2D you don't generally set position and velocity, you interact through forces, impulses and rotational torques.  This is so the player interacts nicely with the physics world and doesn't just 'teleport' about, get hit by things and can fall off ledges etc.  This may be be tricky, I haven't tried this so will see how it works out.

I will start with a blank game template - NJVR762.000 and will post as it develops - any ideas/suggestions along the way very welcome.

Hello everyone,

I'm new on this Forum and also new to programming...

I'm trying to code a test to assess the ability to concentrate (https://smallbasic.com/program/?RKCP997.000) but I'm encountering a problem.
This is how it should work:
A letter appears on the screen for 0.5 seconds then it disappears.
You have to memorize it.
Then 4 random letters appear and you must press as quickly as possible on the "Left" key if the original letter is absent and on the "Right" key if it is present.

So far my code works.

But this test should be repeated for 2 minutes, and at the end the number of errors and the average reaction time should be displayed.
But when I make a loop (lines 13 and 38 in my program), the program loops without waiting for the user to press LEFT or RIGHT.
What command should I use to make it pause until the user presses a key?

Thanks for your help !
