Code/compiling
« on: March 23, 2019, 06:47:27 pm »
Is there any way to run the code as i am coding? I want to be able to see my drawing of backgrounds or things show in real time as im coding. I know i can run a detached program which will let me still code but it wont update the program while i code.

Short answer: no.

Lil longer answer: All QB64 programs are first translated from BASIC to C++, then they are compiled to a binary which is then run. That's why you can't do it as in the old days, when QuickBASIC was also an interpreter.
