FreeBASIC wishlist...

[Jofers]

Heh, that's twice today you've called me on that I guess I've been talkin' out my ass, huh?

[relsoft]

v1c:

Code:

$stack numkbs

Would be cool

[C64]

along the lines of $stack...
I wish for ALL compiler options to be settable
from within the code. Instead of seperate directives
for each like...
$STACK 8192
$GUI
$DLL
$NODEFLIBS
$LINK ctrdll
etc.

one catch all directive, something like...

$FBC -t 8192 -s GUI -nodeflibs -l crtdll

for windows exe file
$icon c:/windows/Wscript.exe, 1
$icon d:/icon/freebasic.ico

[adosorken]

for windows exe file
$icon c:/windows/Wscript.exe, 1
$icon d:/icon/freebasic.ico

That kind of thing requires a resource compiler.

This may seem like a strange request, but could you make some kind of feature to switch between QB ASCII set and a regular ASCII set? In regular, I mean no line feeds or anything like that. If there is already a way to do this, I would like to know.

[Z!re]

There is always line feeds etc.

No matter which ASCII set (really font face) you use


Using SDL_TTF, or making your own BMP based font, you can make and use whatever figure you like, without having linefeeds automatically.
Ofcourse, this wouldnt work in textmode.


You could also use the twobyte (Unicode) text format, which gives you... lots.. of letters/figures/things... don't know how you would go about doing that though

An IDE wish:

Inline command help, so if I start typing a function, I can see what the exact syntax is (in a tooltip or something) without having to reference the documentation.
