Hey i have been through Vic's tutorials..(actually i learned qb from it =P)
he mentioned that there are other ways to get new screens other than those 13...
does anyone know how??
is there any screen which has res > 320 * 200 and a graphics one??
i found out that "window" command does enlarge the screen but it becomes inaccurate with equations used to put sprites on screen..
well, any answer??
Pure QB? No. You have to do all sorts of complicated hackery using ASM, you have to interface with the VESA, or something like that...
If you don't mind 16 colors, you can use screen 12 which is 640x480.
If you want 256 colors, you can get up to 360x480 with the "Mode X" technique (that's just port writes, no assembly required). VESA isn't that hard either; it's just a few interrupts.

says one of the freaking qb hacker gurus =PP
Pssst...want 16 million colours and 1024x768 resolution? Use FreeBasic!
Future.Library can handle 24bit colour (IIRC) at insane resolutions, probably more than your monitor could handle. Not to mention custom ones. It's just slow, but it's good for programs which don't need massive screen refreshing.
but it isn't pure QB... :mrgreen:
anyways i tried it and it is awesome...
but wihtout hardisk i can't run it :crying:

I think you may have gotten your terms mixed up... what are you meaning by "hard disk"?

Who cares?

Um...
Another thing worth researching with Future.library is it's page switching ability. Draw to a hidden page while looking at another, then switch. It is generally slow when loading an image for the first time round. Page flipping was a godsend.
