I ran into an issue with other things as well. aka the Random number generator for one but it was using an older version of the compiler.When i update the compiler I will update and audit all the code when i get it running the way i want most of ...

I have some code i wrote a while back not handy at the moment that moves card sprites for a game .The code uses a loop to move the sprites from point A to B.

Hi does anyone know how to view an ip camera in purebasic as in RTSP, This is easy with VLC but if we can do this in purebasic then it would be very useful thanks

Anyone have some simple code for a basic pinball game. It does not have to use sprites but that would be cool also thanks.

Law of probability comes from the study of gambling and is not a term in mathematics. But it is used all the time in other areas of Science. Mathematics is used to describe the real world and properties in it very cool in it's own right. Mathematics is a form if Science all on it own. The study of g...

Yes but go look at where Minux is now. it's totally different. It's super small super fast. and it is super stable due to it's small size. It can Run about 80% of BSD Code out of the box. still need a few drivers before it can be a real tool. Linux is wicked in every way. Linux is what i use 95% of ...

Can Pure Basic be ported to MINUX. MINUX is older then linux. First used to teach people how an OS Works.

Well there may not be true random numbers in software. if you are close to being random there are in fact a few things you can do to test how good an RND routine is. #1 You can run a simulation of odds and compare it's results to real world results that are known. There will be some variance but if ...

Purely software based random number generators are always weak. Only the cryptographic secure RNGs implemented by the operating system are considered really random. But because it requires some time to get a high entropy in the random bits pool you want to use cryptographic RNGs together with deter...
