certainly not the extended names
nor the extended numbers of the
coming beast or Antichrist of 666! :/

Couldn't be your Fema camp number. :/

Or even your National Id number as well? :/

I give up...what is it? How does it relate
to b3d?


cheers,

Incorrect, Blitz3Dman. FrontBuffer() and BackBuffer()'s values refer to their memory location, and as such, they will differ from computer to computer, or even on the same computer at different points in time. I, for example, get 4109640 and 4109424 at the moment, but those numbers aren't guaranteed even for me.

mmm...
Link: pointer
I think this will explain you why the numbers change from computer to computer and from time to time...

And even if it they were constant values, it would be almost impossible to figure out.

Pointers are the one thing I really wish BlitzBasic had.

And yet at the same time, I'm really glad it doesn't have them.

Pointers? What do you mean?

They point to a memory address. Ingenium already posted a link for you.

Oh, oh, ok

You can use "Object" and "Handle" to covert between pointer and address or the other way around

For a procedural language pointers are pretty important, but now that i've worked with a lot of OOP, they become unnecessary and a hassle in an OO environment, especially once it's managed.

I did and still do like the structures
in C. And I did like making and building
linked lists as well.
The good ole days of Turbo C/C++ and also
the initial and original Microsoft C...
and on my moms' old Tandy home computer.

I like scanf's and the semicolons at the end of the lines

semicolon that too.

and also the getchar()
and also fgets() too.

Thank gosh, I kept some of my C and C++
programming books. Especially one by Greg Perry.
I might just go back to C and use Dev C++ package.

I don't know...I'm just getting stale, to be honest
with the 'usual' game programming languages right now.
If you know what I mean. Maybe its time to be moving
onto C/C++ again.
Or I hate to say it...Java. I tried a few times
before and it wasn't my cup of coffee. And I prefer
soda or tea. Yet, I might just have to learn Java.

yeah!!, you heard or read it from me, the power mousey.
I might just have to learn Java. If I do, it will be
a teaching tool of more patience and discipline. And also
learning how to type long command and function names too.
