Gambas ONE

So I could not get FreeBASIC to compile anything on Fedora due to an ncurses library issue (might need to build a custom package), but I built this on my girlfriend's Windows 7 install and played around with it. Certainly a lot rougher around the edges than Gambas and not nearly as feature rich, but...

I have simply always used Red Hat/Fedora since switching from Windows 98/XP in 2007 so that is just what I am used to. Never felt the reason to change. Biggest shift was going from GNOME 2.x to Xfce after GNOME 3 came out. I do not hate GNOME Shell or anything, but XFCE just hits the sweet spot for ...

Here is something interesting I just came across. Someone has made a Visual Basic style IDE for FreeBASIC. https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f4b946c9a0ee98976b0ee0fd02d2d77cf1f0be23b3346ebeaebd31d2ca8032b9/68747470733a2f2f7777772e6379626572666f72756d2e72752f626c6f675f6174746163686d656e742e7068703f6...

The Tag property is often under-used (or over-looked) but its great for poking things away that you might need later. It often saves you creating a Public variable, and as its a Variant, its very flexible. I had a bad habit of using it to store information that should be have been delineated as par...

Or... if I understand correctly... you could just have the cross-hair as its own picture box on top of the feed? I use picture boxes for any dynamic elements, e.g. ones that move or are re-drawn frequently, so that I do not need to redraw the background elements each time. If you are getting a new f...

Unfortunately the chosen language was Python. This acted like a big OFF switch to the vast majority of 11-16 year olds. I feel that they would have retained the interest of more students by teaching a visual language like VB or Gambas. Obviously I have no axe-to-grind regarding Python Vs Gambas (I ...

Don't log on for two months and you lot have changed everything around...

Its definitely possible to win, as I tested yesterday extensively, though my brother found it similarly difficult. The key to navigating is like driving a car skidding on ice: steer firmly in the direction you wish to go. But your idea is a good one. A lot of the challenge is figuring out where the ...
