Really? I've heard Bill's sprezzo isn't all that amazing, unless you're into micro processors.

Well,  since we're not getting over Bill, what exactly does his project do?

Well, enjoy having more posts while you can, because I'll wise crack my way up to overlord in no time.

Until then, here is what I was working on a few years back, in SDL. When Rob switched to GL, it screwed my perfectly good working bugless system up. What you'll notice, should you decide to try it, is the "File" tag is misaligned, and when you drag the window, it prints the f all over the screen. That never happened in the SDL version, same code.

In mine you can drag the window, minimize it to the task bar, restore it, maximize it, drag resize it from the top, sides, bottom, or corners, and drag the vertical and horizontal scroll bars.

If anyone knows why the SDL and GL versions display differently, please let me know.

I'd post the code but this POS forum can't handle it, so I uploaded it as an attachment.  Come on guys, even N54 can take code files this big. No wonder there are no smilies around here :(

Watch out though, it's a trap. I put a decent amount of AI work into games but I recognized early on how complicated it gets. Even brilliant programmers could dedicate a good chunk of their lives to an AI project, only to find that they need to upload it to a short bus. Eventually, the consortium of evil IBM programmers will get something better than the party tricks that Watson puts on into play. When that happens, we better hope we took Hawkin's advice and fond another planet to inhabit.

I would cut that QB64 folder and paste it to the C:\ drive. I get this weird feeling having it in the windows user folder might be an issue. I always put mine directly on the c drive from Windows XP, & and 10. I've never tried installing in the windows user folder, especially on the desktop. Worth a try.

My kid has had some problems with Steam issues. He doesn't use QB64 though, other issues at times. Unfortunately, uninstalling the games doesn't always fix the problems, because of registry issues. Take this article, for example:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-security/soundmixerexe-error-on-startup/85e30193-a5d3-4ceb-86c3-7d35acdb4d7e?auth=1

I wouldn't recommend fiddling around with the registry unless you get some more insight. It could be something else, but that soundmixer message made me suspicious.

I'd recommend you wait and see what Fell has to say. Someone named Rob created QB64 but Fell has taken over the development of the IDE, and that's what you having trouble opening.

Can't solve problems due to loyalty issues? That's not JB, that's JBS.

Pete [:D] A day without smilies is like a day without moonshine.

Big deal, a measly 100,000 posts. I'll toss Clippy over here and he'll pass him in a week!

Pete [:D] Smiles still on back order?

So Pete, how long are you going to put up with newbie status here? :D

Shut up, Junior! [:D]
