LB Booster forum

This code will give different results when run in LB or LBB. You can see from your hex dump that the text you are reading from the MP3 file is encoded in Unicode (UTF-16) format. Indeed there is an explicit UTF-16 BOM ( Byte Order Mark ) FF FE immediately preceding the text. If you make allowance i...

Strange, it shouldn't be. Maybe the site had to be restored from an old backup or something. I'll put the files back.

Does this help at all?

I've just started trying to program again and it's amazing how quickly you forget the keywords and programming procedures. I know I'm getting old, but I didn't think I'd forget so much, so quickly. It's like being a novice again. I have forgotten virtually everything I ever knew about Liberty BASIC...

Can we move away to some cross platform toolkits like iup or fltk or wxWidgets? There are some GUI toolkits that are designed specifically to work with SDL 2 but I don't know how compatible any of them are with the Windows GUI. There's also the issue of how easily they could be interfaced with BBC ...

LB is an easy dialect to use, but of late it has become stagnant. For future generations, consider creating lbbooster for Bbc for SDL. The main problem with that is Liberty BASICs dependence on Windows. The GUI features of the language (particularly the various window types such as dialog boxes and...

I used profiler and the slow line are print #ini.main, "color ";240;" ";190;" ";150 or print #ini.main, "set ";CoorX(x);" ";CoorY(x) Plotting individual pixels on the screen is a very inefficient way of drawing graphics, not least because it will in...

have you any idea how is it possible ? One situation in which LBB will run more slowly (possibly much more slowly) than LB4 is when a native language statement or function in Liberty BASIC has to be emulated by interpreted BASIC code in LBB, because there is no exact BBC BASIC equivalent. An exampl...

It was an old shortcuts I was using before you made the changes. Everything's moved. I no longer use the old hosting service (meirhosting.net) because they had a monthly bandwidth limit and occasionally that was exceeded, causing the site to become unavailable. I've moved to a host with no formal b...
