Blitz3Dman	I thoungt a little quiz might do you all some good What do the numbers 11775232 and 11748040 have to do with b3d and how are they related? -=-=- There are 10 kinds of people in this world - ( Insert 16 remarks about to what extent people know hex here )

power mousey	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, power mousey

Blitz3Dman	BackBuffer()=11775232 FrontBuffer()=1748040 -=-=- There are 10 kinds of people in this world - ( Insert 16 remarks about to what extent people know hex here )

Evil Roy Ferguso	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.

ingenium1	mmm... Link: pointer I think this will explain you why the numbers change from computer to computer and from time to time... -=-=- Roger Federer is go(o)d. But he is not alone. Just relax... sometimes there's no need to argue.

Blitz3Dman	Arg, I try to make a quiz and.. grrr...

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

ingenium1	Nice avatar, Phoenix!

Yayyak	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.

Blitz3Dman	Pointers? What do you mean?
Sun, 15 Apr 2007, 06:18
mike_g	They point to a memory address. Ingenium already posted a link for you.
Sun, 15 Apr 2007, 06:26
Blitz3Dman	Oh, oh, ok
Sun, 15 Apr 2007, 06:34
mike_g	Yakyak Pointers are the one thing I really wish BlitzBasic had. You can use "Object" and "Handle" to covert between pointer and address or the other way around

Scherererer	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. -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

power mousey	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.

mike_g	I like scanf's and the semicolons at the end of the lines
Sat, 21 Apr 2007, 15:15
power mousey	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.
