atrocityDOS Doors Update (Build 0009)
Hey all, Just an update where I am with DOS Doors since the last update.  Build 0009 isn't complete yet.  The biggest feature I've added (besides upgrading my 2.5 year old FreeBASIC compiler to the build from a few weeks ago (solving a TON of bugs in the process) and having a ton more graphics primitives to draw with now) is that I have per-window keyboard handling now!  This is exciting to me because now when I get window messaging implemented (so the windows/programs can talk to each other), I have have each window be able to receive keys pushed from other programs and stuff.  Anyway, here's a current screenshot (don't mind the nasty-red background in the statistics window.  It was there to test graphics primitives, lol!): [caption id="attachment_854" align="alignnone" width="150"] DOS Doors Build 0009 (non-complete)[/caption] The following code is what I'm using to read the keyboard handle (in the statistics window in the screenshow) to show the keyboard buffer: Let Y = 35 Let X = 1 Let Caption = System.OS.Display.Windows.Active.Name PrintString (X, Y, Caption, Name) Let Y = 43 ReadKeyboard Name, Keyboard PrintString (X, Y, Keyboard, Name) The ReadKeyboard command will read the keyboard from Window Name and store it in a variable named Keyboard (in this case).  If anybody wants to see the full program for the Statistics window, let me know.  My language I created for applications is very BASIC-like, but it's different at the same time.		2013-08-119:45 AM

When are we going to see a downloadable version to try ourselves?		2013-08-147:47 AM

Sorry, it's just a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. Er, that and when I probably finish this build completely (basically I want to add if/then/else statements to my programming language, and maybe get a few VERY simple controls built in). I just need to stop being lazy, lol! Stupid Warcraft...		2013-08-186:36 AM

That sounds like a good plan, I suppose it makes sense to get it to a point when there is actually something to be tested before letting people test it :P		2013-08-209:47 AM
