LB Booster forum

Is it possible, without a conversion table of some sort in an array, to pass a name of structure to be created what I mean is it possible to accomplish something of the sort a$ = "something" : struct a$, x as etc, etc by 'simple' means I don't know of any 'simple' way. Creating a variable...

How do I find my mistake in my code when the error message "Missing , at line 0" appears at program launch? The error is occurring in an 'unnumbered' line (line 0) and I would not expect there to be many of those in your program: LBB normally allocates line numbers, even if your original ...

If you happen to have an X account you can use Grok for free but it is limited to 18 questions per every 2 hours. Try it out, you’ll be amazed! I mainly use DeepSeek for writing - and reviewing - code; it's free and unlimited (at the moment). It's pretty competent at BBC BASIC but obviously not as ...

No, a graphics window isn't a BBC BASIC window.

Especially to read the POINT color value?

You could presumably use the GetPixel Windows API function for that.

Edit, no, of course not, it stays as a UTF string until we change it. But in LBB it will display normally. "UTF string" is ambiguous. You need to specify whether it's UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-32LE or UTF-32BE. BBC BASIC (which is what LBB is using under the hood) uses UTF-8 internal...

Is my assumption about the -A parameter incorrect? LB Booster (LBB.exe) and your 'compiled' BASIC program run in entirely separate Windows processes. This is valuable, because it means that however badly your BASIC program might crash, it cannot bring down the LBB process with it (with the loss of ...

I'll have a look at the API but my inexperience there will probably keep me away from that solution. Fair enough. The API is the best approach if you want to retain accents and foreign-language characters, and you should have no trouble finding existing Liberty BASIC code to call it that you can co...

This code will give different results when run in LB or LBB. You can see from your hex dump that the text you are reading from the MP3 file is encoded in Unicode (UTF-16) format. Indeed there is an explicit UTF-16 BOM ( Byte Order Mark ) FF FE immediately preceding the text. If you make allowance i...

An acknowledgement would be appreciated.

Strange, it shouldn't be. Maybe the site had to be restored from an old backup or something. I'll put the files back.
