Not sure if I had posted this before... If I have, let me know, and I will delete it... lol
This is a converted QB64 demo created by BPlus...
If you are as old or older than I am then this will be a "flash back"... If you are young, then stare continuously at the rotating pattern, then transfer all your savings to the following account number... Moo Ha Ha Ha Ha....
Variable "t" on line #41 will determine the number of "points" to be drawn. The program will start with one point and increment by one until "t" is reached. Then it starts over again using a different colour... ESC to quit.
Code:
' Open a window and enable double buffering.
set window "String Art Animated", 600, 600, false
set redraw off

This release contains a first version of the enginea library, meant for sector based first person shooter games. This is far from the final version of the library; support for meshes is very basic and has not been tested much.
Added the enginea library and editor (enginea_editor.exe), for sector based first person shooter games, plus a tutorial (EngineA_Tutorial.pdf) and examples in examples/enginea_library
I was tinkering with string manipulation and came across a bit of a 'poser' in regards to the mid() command.
Here is a short example....
Code:
' Open a window and enable double buffering.
set window "Test", 800, 632, false
set redraw off
visible a = "ABCDEF"
visible b
visible c
' display the letters "B" to "E" inclusive...
b = mid(a, 1, 4)
pln b
' This works fine...
' But, when I try to make the third letter "D"
' an "X"...
' mid(b, 3, 1) = "X"
' pln b
' I get a syntax error on line 17 during compile
'(remove the "remarks" from lines 17 and 18
' to see what I mean...)
system "pause"
Defining a string then assigning a variable to a "portion" of the string, using mid(), works fine...
But, trying to replace a character, using mid() causes the compilation to fail with a syntax error.
There is no rush on this one... Whenever you are able... Present situation understood... We will "keep an eye on the store" during your break...
I just want to say that I'll be "gone" for a while, in case you wonder why I don't post or reply. Lots of personal things going on, so I don't have any time left for n7. Probably it will get better in a week or two.

Many years ago, and I may have mentioned this before, I attempted to use Blender to add objects to Cube2 (sauerbratten) primarily to see if I could and to determine how much work was involved. I had no idea about making models - and still don't - so I used a 'tutorial' to make a 3D wooden crate and a 3D vase.
Initially, the overall "look" of Blender was, for want of a better word, intimidating... Thankfully I had the tutorials to work through. I think it took about half an hour to create each model. Repetition would obviously improve efficiency, but both objects were created successfully... mind you, the final 'size' of the models, looked a little out of place... I think they were too big...
Back then I wasn't interested in 'animations'... ha... I had enough trouble getting my head around static objects... lol
I went online to check 3D modelling software... Yikes... Most either had some huge purchase costs or subscription based plans. There were one or two "free" packages but were quite limited in what they could do...
Found, downloaded and installed the latest version of Blender... Started it up... Almost fell off the chair... I thought the really old version of Blender was intimidating!! I am not sure I have enough years left in me to learn everything... For free and open source software it sure has pretty much all the "bells and whistles"... Really impressive... but scary!
In the first level there are those mechanical birds that move from left to right but at any moment they launch themselves towards the player and then return to their initial position. How can you make them return to their initial position with that motion?
