Trying do do a simple command with the DRAW function...
Code:
SCREEN 12
DRAW "C15 BM100,100 L5E5F5L5"
sleep
It should go to position 100, 100 and draw a simple triangle, but I am not seeing anything on the screen. I have tried various commands, but can't seem to get any screen/draw combinations to work

Spaces inside the commands string aren't supported: the routine thinks they are unknown commands, so it exits without drawing anything. Actually I didn't even know QB was supposed to accept spaces, I missed it from the QB DRAW inline documentation.
I've now made it accept space and tab characters; new version in CVS. Until new version is out, just remove spaces from your string and it'll work as it should.

Thanks.
I thought I had tried that (no spaces), but apparently I did not.
Works great!

Actually your example led me to discover there were rounding errors in DRAW... infact your triangle has bad corners. Now fixed in CVS.

Wow... DRAW support. I thought I'd never see the day when that old thing gets put back into the mainstream

Any chance on getting a pre-compiled lib for download to replace the one in 0.11 without having to re-compile source?

you have to wait at least tomorrow... I'm in the middle of big internal changes in the win32 side of things, adding a GDI driver alongside the existing DirectX one, for systems where DX is not installed.

No problem.
In the meantime, here is a little "fun with DRAW" for others to enjoy:

The source for this "demo" is located here:

This is just "playing around" code and is not a complete anything. However, I would like to know if others see the odd "warping effect" when either the player or the target slides across the center of the screen. I wonder if its the GFXlib, or if its my video card...

I tried that and then I tried ALT+Enter to get fullscreen mode....
That made something like an endless loop, the mousecurser was flickering, so I stopped the program with Ctrl+Alt+Delete...

I didn't see the weird warping effect. It just has a couple of odd placed pixels when I go full-screen. That's the same thing QB did. It's pretty funny though... reminds me of Atari 2600.
