    TBGL Easter Egg in a basket

    This is maybe my 5th post. It's late -- Easter is almost over even here in Wyoming.
    I'm a retired mainframe (IBM mainframes) systems programmer. I still like to play with
    math and programming, mostly Word and Excel macros in VBA. I don't see how people
    can keep up with what's going on in the programming world. It's too much.

    Anyway, I like graphics, and I worked my butt off getting this program done by Easter.
    Barely made it. (It's tomorrow in a large part of the world). Of course, I copied from
    the Examples a lot. It has some things I want to improve, so I'm just putting it on my
    website. That's probably the best place anyhow. I enjoyed it, I hope you do.
    You need the .tbasic file and the .bmp texture file.

    Lower case is important. (Not on all sites, right?) Regards, Dave

    Happy Easter dkcromley.

    I rar'd which is like zipping up the two files, makes it easier perhaps to download and run.

    Nice to have another coder interested in graphics, thanks for sharing your hard worked example.

    Thanks a lot Dave for this application.
    I checked you code: very nice and precise way of programming. Great, I like it a lot

    If I can, I have only one indication about the source: the use of CALL statement is not necessary if you just want to execute a named function. In this case only indicate the function name. It is a little faster without the CALL statement.

    The main reason why I've developed CALL is to be able to call script functions whose name is not known at run-time and can be computer on the fly as a string expression. Check CALL help and see examples to see what I mean.

    Thanks again for this very nice present.

    Nice script Dave, thanks for sharing.

    TBGL_BuildFont should only be called once, outside your loop. And then you need to correct the position you print the text.

    Thanks.

    I especially appreciate the code improvement comments.

    That was debug text that I just didn't remove. And I would've made a 800x600 window
    instead of 1024x768 if I'd remembered to. Was the text in the upper left for you?

    Yes, I thought of that. I've only used the LHA zipper which dates back to 1991 but I
    really like. It also makes a nice *.exe package, but I guess that's a poor idea for
    security. Is ZIP common here? LHA?

    Have a good week. Dave

    ZIP is more diffuse bur RAR is ok too.
    LHA ... mmmm the risk is no one will get your code.
