old Microsoft demo (3d torus)

Here it is at QB64 site qb64.com/samples/torus-demo/ ( this version was probably converted to brand new QB64 so I did not managed to run it as is ) Now it works in LB/LBB/(even JB if change API call with commented-out filled triangle sub by Andy Amaya) https://i.postimg.cc/282xDYht/torus1.png https:...

Re: Chess Version 2.5

Nice one.
I would say simple solutions are most hard to come by.

Re: FOR difference with JB/LB4

Hello thanks for answering Changing either the loop variable or the limit value inside a FOR loop is bad practice. I know. But this program is big - and it's someone else's program - and I guess it just happened, historically. And if version of BASIC you use allows it, you will never know it's bad. ...

FOR difference with JB/LB4

This code
n=10
for i = 1 to n
   print i
   if i = 5 then n = 0
next
types 10 numbers at LB/JB, but only 5 at LBB.

Actually if one open right panel in LBB, FOR loop will look like
 3 FOR i = 1 TO n : WHILE 1 > n EXIT FOR : ENDWHILE
Probably this WHILE kicks in.

Re: eval assign

Sorry. I cannot understand WHY it works. if we have variable "x" at main level, then in the sub level "x" is undefined and EVAL("x") should not work, is it? To fix it I supposed to make "x" global, am I? Here some test code that shows results inconsistent with...

Re: Crypt-It

Looks like it needs a line

Code: Select all

CryptMessage$=CryptMessageContents$ 
after line 189

Code: Select all

#1.ClipboardIn "!Line 1 ClipboardContents$"
