I'm a little confused today... Going to qb64.com, in the Community > Forums section, there was always a link to here (which appeared last on the list, not sure why) but now it says there are no official forums for QB64, and no link to these forums at all. 

Searching for answers, I wound up at 
https://barnes.x10host.com/pages/BASIC-R...ources.php
where a link to these forums is first on the list. 

This may be a dumb question, but I'm not entirely clear what barnes.x10host.com is for, or why all this QB64 stuff isn't under one qb64.com domain? 

I realize things tend to change quickly in this crazy world of ours, and I don't follow the discord thread constantly, and maybe I missed a memo, so could someone explain what's up with that? 

Also, I see the talk about the new QB 0.81. The last version of QB64 that I downloaded, before the fiasco with what's his name, was 2.0.2. I imagine that after The Jerk kicked everyone off of the forums which included the git project for the source code, that the project had to be forked or recreated or whatever it was the devs had to so, but does that mean the only code we could pick up from was from before 1.0, or did the devs decide that QB64 PE was now a different project, and decide on some beta version numbering? 

I never saw a memo about the version numbering, so am not sure how that all came about. 
I would think that even if we "rebranded" QB64 as "phoenix edition", that we would want to keep incrementing the version number we had, and the next release would be version 2.1.x, 3.x, or similar? 
This kind of reminds me of back in the day when the marketing people for Intel started calling their CPUs Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III, etc. instead of 586, 686, 786, etc. It's mildly annoying but as long as the stuff works right? I just want to understand how this newest version 0.81 compares to the old version 2.0.2, before upgrading...

Anyway, if anyone could please set me straight on the forums and the version numbering and which Web sites / domains are for what, it would be much appreciated!

Hunter and Hunted is a spin on the classic text based grid hunting game Hurkle. This time it isn't just you and the Hurkle as you are also being hunted by the Bellicose Behinder. Can you find the Hurkle before the Bellicose Behinder finds you?

When I try to compile this snippet

Whew, after a few days and around 8 hours of programming, I have just finished Calendar Maker 3. It took so long because the original variables are very scattered and it was like a puzzle. What I added for this version is the ability to save up to 12 characters on each day of the month and go back to it anytime on your computer. The hardest part was then keeping that information there as you look at other months. You can add information to a day in the beginning of the program and it will save it as a .txt file on your computer (loadable with Notepad if you wish) and then it makes the month on your screen with that info. Then you can surf around to other months using the left and right arrow keys and to load a month, press the L key and it will bring up a new screen asking which year and month to load. You can only load one month at a time. Version 2 made the ability to print out all 12 months on your printer at once using some U.S. holidays, but none of your saved info will still be on those 12 printouts. Or you can press P on each month and print out those with your loaded info if you wish. The key commands are on the Title Bar so it's fairly easy to use. There is also the version 1 ability to save that month as a .BMP picture file to your computer by pressing S.  Thank you to B+, Steve, euklides, and TempodiBasic for some code years ago. Also thanks to whoever made the code I found online years ago for the Easter date.

I have some experience with Windows + QB64.

I am now trying out LINUX (never used/studied Linux before) on a Virtual Machine (VM).

Would appreciate some help to install QB64 into VM Linux - to be able to get to a working "Hello World" program.

Thanks in advance.

I downloaded and installed version 0.8.1 from Github. I already get an error message when I want to call up a BAS file, see screenshot. I can't get any further. One error message comes after the other.

In the picture you can see how I have it installed. There are no problems with V 2.0.2 and 0.7.1.

[ image changed, minor program improvements ] This comes from a long fascination with quaternions.  I wanted to see them work. 

I need to get into OpenGL/QB64.  I have gone through the great tutorials of Ashish ( https://ashishkingdom.github.io/OpenGL-Tutorials/intro/ ) but he hasn't gotten to rotations.  I was surprised that looking at the QB64 Wiki, that there are 7 _gl statements with "matrix" but none with "quaternion".  I assume that means that OpenGL does not use quaternions?

Lord Kelvin: "Although beautiful and of ingenious origin, they have been a curse on anyone who has come into contact with them in any way."
But I had a good time.

I hope the output is somewhat obvious: there are 5 points in the figure which are rotated using the quaternion.  I added the extraction of the Euler Angles at the bottom. 

The program is intended to work, not to be fast.  Still, I was surprised that the framerate is well above 100/sec.  A credit to QB64.

Hey guys,

I am looking for some old "text based" games in Basic that do not use "goto"... (some goto's I can convert but not all...)

Such as Mastermind; Yahtzee; Farkle etc

Thank you.

ps: Sucker for the classics... lol

I just had QB64 phoenix 0.8 throw an alert about an internal IDE error and windows threw up a Trojan alert at the same time. I was creating a simple screen mode 0 program at the time. I was using the 0.8 build that came with the  download.

Last time the size of our freeware backgammon program 
compiled with QB64 v.2.01 was 20.972.544
compiled with QB64pe v.0.80 was 20.987.902

Although the exe-file is a little bit bigger I believe that the time for compilation
was shorter with QB64pe v.0.80.

Concerning QB64 Phoenix Edition 0.80:
are there any (new) settings in order to optimize compiling
resulting in smaller (or faster) exe-files ?

Where can I find any pieces of information about compiler settings ?

Thanks !
