Sigil Wrapper (Source now Included!) [Complete]

[Lefty]

Hello,

I have made wrapper of the Sigil library for QB64. I haven't released the source code yet, but it is working! Wondering if some you might be interested in it.

SigilBasic https://github.com/gAndy50/Qb64Wrappers

If anyone finds this useful and would like to donate, I do have Paypal and Patreon.

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. REM $include: 'sigil.bi'
2.  
3. CALL slWindow(640, 480, "Hello - Press arrow keys to change Backdrop color!", slFALSE)
4.  
5. DO
6.     slRender
7.     IF slGetKey(SL_KEY_LEFT) = 1 THEN
8.         CALL slSetBackColor(255, 255, 255)
9.     ELSEIF slGetKey(SL_KEY_RIGHT) = 1 THEN
10.         CALL slSetBackColor(255, 255, 0)
11.     ELSEIF slGetKey(SL_KEY_DOWN) = 1 THEN
12.         CALL slSetBackColor(0, 0, 0)
13.     ELSEIF slGetKey(SL_KEY_UP) = 1 THEN
14.         CALL slSetBackColor(0, 0, 255)
15.     END IF
16.  
17. LOOP UNTIL slGetKey(SL_KEY_ESCAPE)
18.  
19. slClose
20.  
21.

Sounds very interesting.

Explain like I'm just a BASIC programmer: what's a sigil wrapper? Ty!

If I had to guess, a sigil is the $ sign, INKEY$ uses that sign so it needs to be put in a wrapper because $ doesn't work on his keyboard :D

RIGHT$

I didn’t know the library before either, then I googled it.

Ah yes! very interesting, not what I got when I tried a search (may have misspelled something).

Thanks Fellippe

I'm not sure how to quote emoji in a forum post on my phone but dayum... when did we unban smileys?

[FellippeHeitor]

People found they didn’t need the forum software’s custom emojis since there’s Unicode for that. Resistance is futile, that’s been learned.

Fellippe, didn't you do something like this with p5js.bas?

👍

Can't tell, seems like most of the replies are sarcarstic. Well if anyone is interested, send me a PM and we can work something out.

You misunderstand our humor, I'd say there is considerable interest.

Alrighty then. Well anyone's who's interested, send me a PM. I believe I can sell this for a reasonable price, as it doesen't conflict with any of QB64's existing license.

[FellippeHeitor]

I’m interested in it, but you’re selling it?

I developed InForm as cross platform for GUIs but it’s way too artisanal; it’d be interesting to have something backing it.

I was kinda interested, until the talk of “reasonable price” came up.  I’m a cheap bastard.  The main reason I love and work with QB64 is because it’s free.😍😍😍

Well Lefty,
guess you will remain the one and only who will ever use this wrapper. You ask for money, think twice, we don't even have something real to test yet. Your codebox above is just pseudo code without providing sigil.bi to us.

And if you don't wanna release your source here, then you should at least create a reasonable demo program and provide the compiled EXE of it together with some more useful info, because nobody will buy the cat in a poke.
