The thing I miss most about my assembly writing days is the compiler command to Xref a source file.  On extremely large or multi-module assembly programs knowing all the source lines referencing a variable or value was fantastic.  It was easy to get to all source lines that contained something found in the xref list.  So easy, if a re-write or bug hunt was needed.  It was like shooting fish in a barrel.   Likely the 'C' compiler used in QB64 has that function.  But referencing back to the source would be problematic.

Has someone found or created Xref for QB64 ?

I've been working on a new way to manage QBJS samples:
   
You can check it out here: https://boxgaming.github.io/qbjs-samples

You can filter by category or author and run the sample in either production or the development instance.  It's hosted right out of the github project where the samples are maintained and is itself built in QBJS.

I would be interested in any feedback or suggestions and, of course, submissions of any additional examples that we could add to the collection.

For @Dimster.  (Beta Version).

Note: Formerly incorrectly titled as a Remline clone. Thanks ahenry for the heads up!

This one lets you use the clipboard to add the path and file name, but if you prefer to just open a dialog box and select the file, I combined my remover with Steve's open dialog in post #14, here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread...3#pid29513

I tend to have a number of smaller well commented codes which eventually I roll together into a finished larger program. These smaller code sections can have quite a few lines of code and comments which get copied and pasted into the larger program. To remove the comments from the finished larger program I have been hunting and highlighting the comments and deleting them as I find them. I was thinking the IDE may be more helpful in this regard if there was an option under the EDIT to Remove ALL COMMENTS.

Here is a 2022 pong game I made with Bplus's help. Tonight I added a random computer paddle speed so it's not so perfect. Thanks B+  . 

'Pong Clone by SierraKen - May 25, 2022.

'Thank you to B+ for the deflection math code, etc.!

'Thanks also to Coolman for sounds recommendation.

'Random computer paddle speed added on October 24, 2024.

I made a program to learn articles in German. It shows one of the 771 random nouns and you have to guess if it is a der, die, or das word.
