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 !

Update

   

Hey Guests please take a moment to complete a small survey about Small Basic.

Follow the link below.

***** Questionair *****

Original Post

I am thinking about creating a questionair to try to get feedback from SB users out there that are not currently engaged.

I want it to be completely annonymous with results fully shared.  Using Google Forms, respondants do need to be logged in with a Google account, although their details are not recorded.  Any opinions welcome on this.

I want it to be fairly short - here it is at the moment in link below.  At this stage I am looking for ideas or suggestions for the questionair rather than replies to it.

Once we have a form that asks what what we want and has the right tone we can try to advertise it a bit.

Questionair

EDIT

Thanks for feed back - updating with your thoughts...

We know Facebook group has 1500 members and only a couple active contributors.  We can also see that programs published there only get a handful of imports, sometimes none.  On this forum we currently have 34 members and only a few regularly active, but most of the time there are more than 10 guests viewing.

My main question is: Are there a large number of users out there or not, and if there is why isn't there more engagement - as a comminity what are we not doing or doing wrong?

   

And a 3D roller coaster example using new cubic spline method, WPHM84.000, import, uncomment File commands and save somewhere.  Needs internet first time run to download a couple images.

I found a new idea of small basic knowledge as my small basic.
Link : https://github.com/H-sooyeon/MySmallBasic

I know a Extension named small basic fun in archive may be we could find it link of codeplex archive also we should add extext,exprogram,square basic,data Extension  like Extension you can search thread in man small basic forum archive on way back machine

Recompiled this extension by FuleSnabel for SB 1.2, original source here.  Note the different installation requiring dll added to SB installation folder and that there is no xml intellisense, but the sample is good.

Download it from https://litdev.uk/#Extensions.

EDIT - Minimal intellisense added, at least the number and name of function arguments.
