Hi!
i worked on such a project this summer, found it very interesting.
I'm far from finished but i'll upload a working preview. The first part I made was the Virtual machine so that part is almost completly done. Then i started on the compiler which i f*snip*

BlitzBasic.com Has Been Hacked
27th February 2009

Why the hell blitz? There are so many bigger and more popular sites... what good could this do for the hackers, or was it just for fun. Sure, they might be able to get peoples usernames and passwords, but there cant be that many blitz us*snip*

Loading JPG's faster
4th January 2009

With LoadAnimImage() it's possible to load part of an image, maybe that is something to try? Or does it load the whole image and then discard parts of it? worth a try anyway.
If it works you could load a few parts of the image every frame thus not making *snip*

Pathfinding problem
30th December 2008

Been having it on since you posted. The memory usage went up with 30 MB during the first five minutes and then stayed in the same area the rest of the time. Deleting all the types with Blitz' lists didn't release any memory. So as i see it, the extra memor*snip*

Pathfinding problem
30th December 2008

@Tikihead
To sum it up: The problem was that the "for each" loop was getting very slow after a while. I also noticed that the "First" command was affected to. "Last" worked as it should. So instead of letting blitz do a "for each" i kept track of the orde*snip*

Pathfinding problem
29th December 2008

Fixed it :)
Instead of using blitz' for a.square=each square I manually kept track of the square before each square and then by getting the last square I can iterate through the list backwards.
[code]
Type Square
Field prvs.Square
End Type
o.Square=*snip*

Pathfinding problem
29th December 2008

Added two20 definition to top code.
This is getting really strange:

tmp=MilliSecs()
o.Square=First Square
clean=(MilliSecs()-tmp)
[/code]
This sets clean to 0 first few times i run the function but after leaving it running for about a minute *snip*

Oh, sorry FS is an array added declaration to original code

Actually tried to take away everything inside the loop and get the same slowdown

That was my initial thought too, but I'm deleting them in another loop a little later so, no problem there.
Did the counter as well and got expected results.

Pathfinding problem
29th December 2008

HI!
I'm making a pathfinding code. The problem is that it gets slower and slower the more I use it. I've isolated the slowdown to these lines of code, but I find nothing wrong with them. It gets so bad that it only manages 2000 iterations a second.

Music File lengths

The file can also contain tags with just about any information in them. The album image can for example be stored in an mp3 IDv3 tag.

What PC Tech to aim for?

The new Intel i7 will be cost alot, and they need expensive ddr3 memory and new costly motherboard. Sure, it'l probably preform better, but at a very high cost.
I would have gone either with a quad e9xx0 or with a dual e8x00.

Could you take all the pieces of track to make one large mesh?
Or maybe scale everything up a little?

Constructor and arrays in types?
14th May 2008

The best would be storing it in an array and the accessing it with an int like you normally access the array.
[code]
type test
field x,y
field data[3]
end type
Function GetData(t.test,index)
return t\\data[index]
end function
[/code]

using the str function will only use more bandwidth, do something like this:

;for UDP

Graphics Card

I think That Radeon are going to a version of HD3850 with AGP if you are looking for something powerful.
Just noticed your 140 dollar limit, then HD3850 seems to be 240 :S
