Hello, all! New member here! I - as many of you, I'm sure - come from a time when QB was king, and long for the days of yore. I am looking to do some programming for fun (and potentially profit, who knows?) and just wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone! I'm around IRC, and have seen some great conversations here already! I look forward to conversing with you all and learning!

Welcome Gloomshroud,
How long have you been back to QB? For me, it was almost exactly 4 years ago, though you are half + 3 my age.

I just registered, after been using QB64 since beginning of this year. Thanks to FellippeHeitor for the welcome!
Fellippe told me that QB64 isn't really a compiler, but a translator from BASIC to C++. He also told me that the intermediary code resides at internal/temp/main.txt, whenever a .BAS program is loaded into QB64. The only problem I have with QB64 is the size of generated executable, other than that it's perfect for my needs.
Now comes the question: can this C++ code be compiled in a different software, in order to generate a smaller executable? My 18 KB program becomes a 90 KB C++ code. I'd like to know the path to making an executable from this, using a different method or compilers. Any hints?

Hello Gloomshroud and FilipeEstima . As membership grows the brain power is impressive but the best part is the exchanges and clever coding examples. Humbling to say the least.

Welcome to both of you guys,
BTW, why don't create an "Introduction" place (section) in this nice forum to allow each of us to say a little bit who we are, why we're here, what are our general knowledge, how we can help each others, what we can't do, what we like to do when we don't code (cooking, drinking beers listening hard rock, paragliding, biking on race tracs with Valentino Rossi, making fun with our "blonds", etc. etc. etc.) and so on.
Usualy, this is the first step to do when you sign in into a new forum prior to post your first question and I think i'ts a good attitude.
What do you think?
Cheers.
Fifi.
