BB vs Virus Protection
30th June 2025
I imagine you tried to download BlitzBasic and got malware
Or your computer got infected by something that replaces launchers.
Where did you get the original binary from?

I'd use a select/case conditional or lookup table instead of all those ifs.
You then make a conversion function and call that.
Which version of BlitzBasic are you using?

I wonder if that CLS is clearing after each file giving you only the latest.
But yeah, it would help to do a minimal test.

Rebuilding the Browsercade

What I mean is information is lost when you crop the screen.
It's much easier to plan when you see 4 spikes instead of two.
So you can see that visual information is removed in one version making it harder when it's technically the same game.

What have been the bulk of the problems?
Changes to the way the JavaScript canvas works?
Also I'm a fan of rendering everything in the same aspect ratio and using best fit.
I think it's better than breaking the screen up or cutting the sides off*snip*

Yes, the tool in the lower left lets you pan textures in 2 directions to check.

Just messing around.
I've been looking at Dungeon Master lately.
I used to do pixel art before it lost its resource bound identity in the mainstream indie world.
Dunno if I'll finish it. A fun 15 minute diversion.

You can replace the battery in the Switch.
You have to be very very careful though - work slowly. The battery is glued down.
Best to take pictures the whole way and use a magnetic dish to keep the screws because you're going to have quite a few. A si*snip*

Another fun effect might be to take a list of all positions and shuffle it then deal them so they scatter all over in random patterns. :D

I would guess they're defining points for the texture(s) or screen in reverse order.
Maybe (right, bottom) -> (left, top)

You got action RPGs.

I have added an example of the stuff above done in BlitzMax and grilled some burgers.
BlitzMax doesn't have full first class functions so I've had to settle for function references.

Looks like an interface to a collection such that you don't have to provide typical loops.
There is a time and place for loops but they can easily be removed in some cases by more elegant operations.
