uhhh I don't know how big FB has gotten. Should fit on a 16mb usb flashdrive. You can get them almost anywhere I believe nowaday and the 16mb either don't exist or are like $5 =P
edit: congrats it works. =P
it's a command line compiler
someone else can explain it better.

Well, you have the FBC.exe, thats the compiler, you need a IDE to program with.. http://www.hot.ee/fbide/,. Go there and get that.. :wink:

I use this nifty little bat file
Code:
@echo off
set path=%path%;e:\freeBASIC;e:\freeBASIC\inc;e:\freeBASIC\lib;e:\freeBASIC\bin
cd e:\freebasic\files
commandthen I use the MS-DOS edit and becuase of the path I can compile from any folder =P
@DarkJay: Are you familar with DOS? if you are then you don't need an IDE, you can use one if you want....
(meh if you were you'd probably have figured out you have to run either run fbc from an IDE or from the command line.)

forget it...
i still need to get my space invaders program to shoot while everything is running...i guess i will rely on the original computer code 1's and 0's. Is there another way or will i have to have it shoot and the shot moves when the shot is active, sorry for my NoOb programming skills. I will finish this game...someday...or could i just submit the engine i am using?

Darn(it's my new favorite word!), I just might participate in this. BTW, does anyone remember the name of QB game released a year or less ago(advertised in this forum) which is an exact remake of some ATARI(I think) game where you control a ship(on ground) and shoot on falling "stuff". I need it.

If you on the IDE, you can select where it goes, to a Zip disk, CD Rom, ect, it doesn't have to install to the hard drive... :wink:
