This program required Win32 API calls, so it will only run on a Windows system.

Custom window in that the code generates a small borderless window text window and adds a custom menu plus drag to move and drag to resize features. It does NOT use the QB64 RESIZE commands but does make use of the mouse cursor appearance changes. Thanks a ton to the dev who provided that neat QB64 mouse feature.

The top pseudo-title bar is functional. The three horizontal lines represent a pop-open menu. Click to open. The menu options are mostly for demo only, but close and quit do work. The symbols from top left to right are "-" Minimize, [] Fullscreen, and "X" Close.

Find attached the QB64 shell program.

Installed in this package is Qb64shell.bas which is the source..

I think that this is worth looking into

Why does this happen?   



when this is the code?

all the cool kids are doing it so why not?

A simple gui example to demonstrate a scheme for button handling and menu selection.
This makes use of a couple of the new dialog controls in version 3.4

Menu selections return input from the selection, there's a little but of button manipulation shown, you cna quit from a menu or the big red quit button. Menu2 uses the new dialog controls, the hello menu selection wlil have a different message if the user has enters a username.

This is fairly barebones and hopefully straightforward enough someone may find this useful.

A quick little routine to tell you if a string is a number, or not.

BTW: at the end of the song, or after you stop the song, you'll have the option to play the song again.  Choose "Y", and then you can alter the tempo of the song and the waveform applied to the sounds.

Hey if you like borderless windows but want a way to resize them forget about using $RESIZE. It has no border to grab on to. Oh, if you don't mind ugly, or want an all black window, you can add a WS_THICKBORDER element to your API call, which Steve discovered, but it's ugly. (It leaves a thin black row just below the top white border in any window that has a colored background.) Anyway, if you don't mind that, you can use it with QB64 $RESIZE. If you want an alternative to $RESIZE, try something like this...

Try a mouse drag at any side or any corner to enlarge or shrink the borderless window. Esc to quit.

Finally everything works properly. A system that can be easily extended from non-source code. I created a structure that allows us to parameterize everything with a simple notepad. Add new maps, terrain, and textures quickly.
I want to make a game that I haven't made before. I deleted the shooting part. There is already such a game. An adventure game with missions and characters would be nice. If you have any ideas, I'd love to read them. even if it seems funny at first. I'm interested in any ideas! moreover, if we could collectively build a game in some form, where more people could take part, that would be wonderful.
It can be tried for now. there is no task, but you can walk around the huge space. There is a lot of garbage among the files, that's why it was 240 Mb, so sorry!

And all good!
