BASIC - Programming language of yesterdays?7th July 2025
It's hard to find a job where the focus really is programming. Most professional developers spend more time scrambling trying to glue together huge monolithic frameworks than programming and they spend just as much time in meetings and other kinds of*snip* |

Welcome, Forest Gump7th July 2025
Welcome!I think there's still some room to go. (I really want first class functions with closures - language features going back to the 50s and 60s) But BASIC has come a long way from unstructured messes inherited from the style we see with Dartmout*snip* |

High Contrast Week2nd July 2025
For me this week has been BlitzMax and boring Java Swing/Thymeleaf/PostgreSQL stuff. I'm looking to do some public health service with my State but it's hard to find consistent data in my region from the CDC (Center for Disease Control) web API. :(*snip* |

Xerox PARC developed the first GUIs and some very contrasty systems.They invented Smalltalk and InterLisp (forked from BBN Lisp) systems . These were (and are) full featured programming environments originally backed by ARPA (Now DARPA) for AI work. Th*snip* |

BB vs Virus Protection30th June 2025

rgb color value to DATA letter value, DATA letter value to rgb color value30th June 2025
I'd use a select/case conditional or lookup table instead of all those ifs.You then make a conversion function and call that. Which version of BlitzBasic are you using? |

Print - Newline28th June 2025
I wonder if that CLS is clearing after each file giving you only the latest.But yeah, it would help to do a minimal test. Ditch all the : and put 1 statement per line. |

What I mean is information is lost when you crop the screen. It's much easier to plan when you see 4 spikes instead of two. So you can see that visual information is removed in one version making it harder when it's technically the same game. *snip* |

What have been the bulk of the problems?Changes to the way the JavaScript canvas works? Also I'm a fan of rendering everything in the same aspect ratio and using best fit. I think it's better than breaking the screen up or cutting the sides off*snip* |

Just messing around.I've been looking at Dungeon Master lately. I used to do pixel art before it lost its resource bound identity in the mainstream indie world. Dunno if I'll finish it. A fun 15 minute diversion. (Image.png) |

You can replace the battery in the Switch.You have to be very very careful though - work slowly. The battery is glued down. Best to take pictures the whole way and use a magnetic dish to keep the screws because you're going to have quite a few. A si*snip* |
