(III) Make an screen to play: ', const as integer, screenres, sleep & end

Come on everybody!


 Let's see our first code to make an screen to play.
Let me explain the keywords used:
  • ' to add comments to the code, very useful to understand even the code made by ourselves. Used alone in a row or at the end of an instruction.
  • const as integer to declare labels as integer numbers that contain constant values, non modifiable along the program. In this case w and h are constants. We must separate different consts with comma.
  • screenres to do an screen to play, we have to tell two parameters the width and the height of the screen. We must separate parameters with comma.
  • sleep to wait until a key is pressed to see the screen that otherwise will close too fast.
  • end to end the program. 
And the structure of this code not too far from the structure of a larger one:
  • DESCRIPTION
  • DECLARATIONS
  • INITIALIZATIONS
  • Main code
  • ENDING
In FBIde you can run the code pressing function key F5 or clicking Quick run icon

 This is the result of our first code:
An screen to play with 400 pixels of width and 300 pixels of height.

 This is enough by now, in the next entry we will enrich our first code drawing some squares.

Contact me for any question, see you!

(II) Download & setup FreeBASIC's IDE FBIde

Hi everybody! If you use Microsoft Windows on your computer you can download FBIde from SourceForge in this link:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/fbide/files/ Go to fbide 0.4 folder and then fbide 0.4.6 r4  folder and download the zip file with the name  FBIde0.4.6r4.zip . Note: 0.4.6 r4 is the last version while doing this blog entry. Now decompress downloaded file in the path you desire. Me I decided to use my Desktop, beside my FreeBASIC compiler and help folders. Go into  FBIde0.4.6r4  folder and execute the application  fbide Click Yes in the message window. And search fbc application inside your FreeBASIC's compiler folder to open it. Go to View/Settings to Choose your Theme for the editor, I like obsidian theme. Add some new Keywords in Group 2 . Choose the path for FreeBASIC Help file (.chm) downloaded in the previous entry of this blog. Remember to click OK to submit the changes. This is e nough by now, i...

(VIII) Collisions and strings: dim as string & draw string

G'day everybody! In this entry we will see the collisions, and we will use a concret one wich is the perfect superposition between two elements, as it used for pac-man and the ghosts. We have a perfect superposition when te coordinates of two elements are the same, same value for x axis and same value for y axis. Take a look at the new code of the day: Let me explain the new keywords used: dim as string  to declare a new variable that will contain an string, an string is delimited with an initial " and a final ". draw string  to draw a string on the screen at the point indicated. The sintaxis is draw string (x,y),string in our case draw string (0,h/2),message When we execute this code we can move the white square toward the other ones and the message in the screen will remember the color with which square the last collision occurs. Today's code and concepts are very important because we have an square with controlled interacti...

(V) Game loop, variables, dim as boolean, if then else, multikey, false, true, do loop until

Hey everybody! Take a look at the code of the day: The result of execute our new code will be the same as the obtained with the code of the last entry but you must press Esc key to exit: An screen to play with 400 pixels of width and 300 pixels of height and four squares of 32x32 pixels one in each corner. The white square is painted or filled with same color. The screen is being draw again and again and again until you press Esc key. Let me explain the new keywords used: dim as boolean  as const as but with dim we are telling that the label (in our case finish and kescape) will have a variable value. In the case of boolean this value can be false or true. do loop until to make a loop that will repeat the code inside the instruction until the condition after until is resolve to true. if then else  to execute the code inside the instruction if the condition is resolve to true, else to execute an alternate code if the condition is  not resolve to true...
