Sounds useful. Is this something you'd care to share?

For example, suppose I want to embed a calculator on a web page (maybe a very complex one). I would normally write this in pure Javascript. Can I use Spiderbasic instead? I'm not entirely sure what "windowed" applications are in the context of web pages.


Well Windowed means that SpiderBasic ...

The WeekOfYear() function is a complement to the existing Date()-functions in the library.

In some regions, such as the Nordics, the week of the year (or more commonly referred to as just the 'week') is widely used for time planning.

This is probably due to code generation optimization in PB, where PB-functions that are not "called" by PB-code are not included in the generated target.

Is it possible to use the internal functionality of PB to achieve what you want? Like BindEvent or something?

Usually following how languages/compilers/IDE's traditionally work an "export" (or "release compile" etc.) means you somehow prepare your application for shipping.

Part of preparing for shipping includes removing debug information .

The idea behind "debug" is to provide you, the programmer, with ...

I've created a small lib for SpiderBasic to render text based on bitmap fonts on the active "Screen".

The project (with a small demo) is available here: https://github.com/mahan/bitmapfont

Since SpiderBasic does not support the command ScreenOutput() like in PureBasic for drawing operations, the ...

Thanks Fred, that works perfectly for my use case.

Suggestions:

1. Try using EnableExplicit, work out all the declarations, and see if you find any problem.
2. Reduce complexity, until you pinpoint the problem.

Remember: A good bug report is the minimal program that exhibits the issue.

Fantastic amount of awesome improvements in 1.30!

Thanks a lot, Fred!

This is a combined question and request:

Is there a way to detect at runtime that the running application has been exported? (Menu->Compiler->Export)

I'm thinking about things like debug code or for instance special development functions like auto-login when running the application from the IDE ...
