Follow the development of QB64 v1.3

[Ashish]

The latest build also support multisample antialiasing for OpenGL context [Windows only].
The multisample feature can be trigger on and off with the help of _glEnable and _glDisable by using _GL_MULTISAMPLE.

The link to this commit is here

It was achieved by adding one more GLUT_MULTISAMPLE mode to glutInitDisplayMode() of libqb.cpp and by defining the constant in
../gl_header/gl.h

Here's a sample code which demonstrate this -

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. _TITLE "GL Multisample Testing"
2. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32)
3.  
4. _GLRENDER _BEHIND
5. _PRINTSTRING (1, 1), "GL_MULTISAMPLE : Enable"
6. _PRINTSTRING (600, 1), "GL_MULTISAMPLE : Disable"
7. LINE (400, 0)-(400, _HEIGHT)
8.  
9. DO
10.     _LIMIT 30
11. LOOP
12.  
13. SUB _GL () STATIC
14.     IF NOT Init THEN
15.         Init = -1
16.         _glViewport 0, 0, _WIDTH, _HEIGHT
17.     END IF
18.     _glMatrixMode _GL_MODELVIEW
19.     _glLoadIdentity
20.  
21.     _glEnable _GL_MULTISAMPLE 'enable the multisample
22.     _glBegin _GL_LINE_LOOP
23.     FOR i = 0 TO _PI(2) STEP .1
24.         _glVertex2f COS(i) * .4 - .5, SIN(i) * .4
25.     NEXT
26.     _glEnd
27.  
28.     _glDisable _GL_MULTISAMPLE 'disable the multisample, you will se jagged ellipse
29.     _glBegin _GL_LINE_LOOP
30.     FOR i = 0 TO _PI(2) STEP .1
31.         _glVertex2f COS(i) * .4 + .5, SIN(i) * .4
32.     NEXT
33.     _glEnd
34.  
35. END SUB
36.

Exactly. On macOS _GL_MULTISAMPLE doesn't need to be enabled as it's on by default.

Latest dev build accepts drag/drop for quick loading a file from a folder when the IDE is already running (Windows only).

You need an ABOUT menu item that shows what version of QB64 I am running.
I haven't messed with QB64 since version 10 and just saw that it now has a VB-like 'modern' UI ability.
So I downloaded and installed qb64_2018-02-12-19-30-35_1d0f920-master_win.7z.

I thought, back in 2016, that I could change the font sizes so that I can see the menu and text easier.
Maybe I modified the program. It would be nice if we could do that without having to modify the source code.
I tried changing the text size and it didn't seem to work. (Windows 10)

Help -> About

Options -> Display

The modern UI is separate from QB64's core, check it out: qb64.org/inform

Make sure to check the option to use a custom font in the Display dialog and to specify a font that is monospaced. Default suggestion that comes preset is Lucida Console.

Welcome to the forum.

New dev build available today (from git e490b1a) contains:

Enhancements
(as discussed here):
    - New Ctrl+T to toggle comment marker (') on the current line or selection (also available via Edit menu and by right-clicking the code)
    - Quick Navigation (back arrow) can now be disabled in the Search menu.

Fixes:
    - Tab in included files won't generate an error anymore. (as discussed here)
    - A bug that would cause an include line to be duplicated when resizing the IDE was fixed. (as discussed here)

Pls implement a C++11 compatible compiler :( :( :(

[Petr]

I find _SNDRAW bug in new IDE, read here: https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=614.msg4813#msg4813

[FellippeHeitor]

Thanks for reporting, Petr.

Pls implement a C++11 compatible compiler :( :( :(

Why ?

Can't you code in pure ANSI C Vs the cripled C++ ?

[Petr]

This source works correctly..... BUT until you take with the mouse program window and start to move it (and do not release the mouse button). Then,  _COPYIMAGE still fills the memory, but  _FREEIMAGE will not release it until you are holding with mouse program window. I think it would be more logical to pause _COPYIMAGE when moving, not just _FREEIMAGE.

Code: QB64: [Select]

1.  
2. c = _NEWIMAGE(100, 100, 32)
3. _DEST c
4. LINE (0, 0)-(100, 100), _RGBA32(0, 0, 0, 100), BF
5. _DEST 0
6.  
7. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32)
8. _PUTIMAGE , _SCREENIMAGE
9. DO
10.     _DEST c
11.     CLS , _RGBA32(0, 0, 0, 100)
12.     _PRINTMODE _KEEPBACKGROUND , c
13.     _PRINTSTRING (20, 41), TIME$
14.     _DEST 0
15.     WHILE _MOUSEINPUT: WEND
16.     d = _COPYIMAGE(c, 33)
17.     _PUTIMAGE (_MOUSEX - 50, _MOUSEY - 50), d
18.  
19.     _DISPLAY
20.     _FREEIMAGE d
21. LOOP
22.

Can you implement SUB/FUNCTION sorting? This would be quite handy for lengthy source.

Can you implement SUB/FUNCTION sorting? This would be quite handy for lengthy source.

Just as a FWIW, I much prefer the subs to be sorted in the order I decide, rather than forced to be alphabetically sorted as MS QuickBasic does. So, IMO, any sorting should be optional, please?

I prefer to arrange the subs in a logical order, for example, in the order in which they are called. Such as, setup, intro, inputs, and so forth. To me, the ability to arrange subs in a logical order was a big "feature" of QB64. Thanks.

Made a few pushes to the development branch today:

1) Change so that _PRINTSTRING now works with the optional image handle.  (As basically described here: https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=709.msg5841#msg5841 , though cleaned up a bit for the "official version" which we all share and love.)

2) Bug fix so that we can now upgrade to a 64-bit version of QB64 with zero-difficulty.  (As basically described here: https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=354.msg2357#msg2357 )

Change #2 allows us to simply download the 64-bit compiler (you can get a compatible version of the windows 64-bit compiler here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lwb05aubpsf220v/mingw-w64-bin-x86_64-20141001.7z?dl=1 ), delete the contents of internal/c/c_compiler, and then replace them with the extracted contents of the 7z above, and rebuild QB64 into a 64-bit version. 

The build process is now basically:
Grab it.  (The 64-bit compiler)
Swap it.  (Delete the 32-bit compiler and replace it.)
Build it.   (Run setup_win.bat and build QB64 as a 64-bit application instead of a 32-bit one.)
That's it!

[STxAxTIC]

Grab it.
Swap it.
Build it.
BOP-IT
That's it!
