Hi @TerryRitchie, the documentation is still definitely a work in progress. I'm sorry you found it to be a mess. I'm using the wiki in github simply because it's easier to maintain the code and documentation all in one place. The links are to the QB64 official documentation because it is also in github wiki format and matches the look-and-feel. My goal is not to recreate the QB64 documentation but rather indicate what is currently supported by QBJS and highlight any differences in functionality.
https://github.com/boxgaming/qbjs/wiki/S...rd-modules
At the bottom of this page is a list of all the new libraries that have been added to QBJS. The links in this section are to other pages in the QBJS wiki with usage information and examples.
https://github.com/boxgaming/qbjs/wiki/U...d-Keywords
This page lists all of the keywords that have not been implemented yet. Some of them are marked as "Won't Do" because either there is not a mechanism (that I have found yet) for implementing it in Javascript, or it was not implemented in QB64 either.

Thank you for the info. What I meant by "mess" was Github itself, not your information found there. Navigating that site is frustrating.
Do you have an FTP site that project assets can be uploaded to (images, sounds, etc..)? Or perhaps there is a way to have assets attached to projects in some other manner? I switched all my domains over to Google Sites a while back and I don't believe (I'll need to look into it) there is a way to upload individual files without them getting moved to Google Drive by default.
Software and cathedrals are much the same — first we build them, then we pray. QB64 Tutorial

The most convenient way to create a project with assets is to just drag those assets into the Files tab in QBJS:
Then reference them as you would from the filesystem in your program as shown in the example below. Save the project with the save button which will create a zip file of the code and any assets you uploaded. Then you can attach the zip to your forum post and reference it in the qbjs tag like this (minus the spaces inside the brackets:
Ok, I just played around with that a little. Took a while to figure out that I had to click on the "show console" button to see the window you were referencing.
This is a very interesting project. I look forward to accompanying documentation.

Yes, you can use mode=auto.
It works. The scroll bars don't show up now (tonight) they did earlier (this morning). Did you change anything @dbox?
Quote:@bplus Yes, there is a way to embed qbjs with play mode.
So it has to be through QBJS, having some trouble translating stuff that works fine in QB64.
Well I will get on dbox for last 2 troubles then... ;-))
OK back to Earth again with all the nuisance hassles
We can fix things together@bplus. There is really no reason you can't help out.
Part of the reason I wanted to do this in qbjs (aside from the fun factor of seeing our banner animated), is to help the qbjs project by exposing it, and hopefully getting others to pitch in. It is REALLY easy to write Javascript, there are differences obviously, but the way @dbox has setup how to contribute and build on qbjs together is very easy and simple. I would love it if all of you super talented coders would at least check it out and see; if for no other reason than to realize how fun it can be.
All this aside, if someone wants to do something in straight up QB64 as a program for the contest I think that'd be fine too, but as i mentioned we'd need to convert it into something PLAY-able on the web so animated GIF, or small video. Obviously this will take longer to download, so if you do use that method consider that. Or, if you prefer it doesn't even need to move - like @TerryRitchie submission with the flowers!
I think it'd be fun just to code for the banner in Fall theme, regardless, and the dimensions of 1400 x 256 are an interesting canvas to play in
If you guys agree, then we can get going and start the contest on September 1st, and end it on October 1st!
@SMcNeill what about you? You haven't said "boo" yet about the idea of a Fall contest.
@grymmjack I'm fine with whatever you guys want to do. I'm still arguing with my gut about how it should be treating me, and it seems my gallbladder has more-or-less rebelled. Sept 7th, I go and talk to the surgeon about getting that sucker removed permanently, so I've just been tied up finishing up things before then and waiting to see what the final verdict is. I imagine I'll be sore and stiff and happy-loopy from whatever after-surgery pills they prescribe, so I'll probably sit this round of competition out and just chill out and be lazy for a while.
Whatever you finally decide to do is fine with me. I wouldn't have made you a full-fledged administrator, if I didn't have full-fledged faith in you.

Bummer @SMcNeill, I hope that your gallbladder surgery is a success. Will pray for you.
yet about the idea of a Fall contest.
