Was there a time in Basic when IF was simply followed by a Print statement? Seems to me I did see some code like :

If A Print "...." but the wiki indicates the only time an IF condition is not followed by THEN is the use of GOTO.

Hello. Working with the new excellent _SndNew command, I discovered that _SndGetPos can't find the time in the track that is created by the _SndNew command, so I played that field with the _SndRaw command, which already has a perfectly fixed stereo. On this occasion, I discovered that the SndLen command works as it should only if _SndRaw does not have a third parameter used for a pointer to _SndOpenRaw. If the third parameter is used, then _SndLen does not work as it should and in that case the sound will be stored in memory faster than expected. I also found that when using the third parameter of the _SndRaw command, the difficulty increases sharply, and then (on my weak laptop, it is enough in the attached program on line 53 to disable the condition of printing to the screen at every thousandth step, and the sound is played as jerking and tearing, simply unlistenable ). But if the third parameter of _SndRaw is not used, you can print to the screen at every step and everything runs perfectly.

At first I was going to try a little something for alpha blending to make the thing look more like a transparent tube.

Then I got more interested in the "parts" of the tube than in the tube itself.  Seeing as I particularly enjoy seeing the details of the whole, I  had to add a little space between the circles to see them.

Then I was getting a sense of elongation of the tube, and I wanted to see the elongation motion.  The randomness of the circles gives a little bit of an illusion of the circles moving, so that was good enough for this kid.

Hi to all

I would like to blend two identical images. I am doing a space game, and I want to show some kind of warp flash in the ship engines

I have a flash sprite (PNG with transparency), and I want to paint two of them, one very close to the other.

But the image blending is not showing the way I like...

This is what QB64 does:


I would like to paint something like this (I made the example in photoshop):


Is there any way to paint this images as the second example?

Thank yoy very much

Do we have a native date/time type, with all the associated functions (dateadd, datediff, date to UNIX epoch & vice-versa, timezone operations, etc.) or has anyone built an equivalent library in QB64PE or related?

Edit: Bah, never mind

Having finished Galaga I decided to try converting my all time favourite arcade game, Scramble. It's gone pretty well I think!

Controls are arrow keys to move and A/Z to fire and bomb.

The ZIP file contains scramble.bas along with a subfolder called assets which contains all the sound effects, graphics, etc. After building the project, the EXE must reside in the same folder as the BAS file. It accesses the assets folder relatively so won't find it if the EXE is in the wrong place.

Hope you have fun!

               

Pete would love the program. For others, one or the other might be of interest.
