Updated the showcase to now work with full mouse support. There's buttons at the bottom left which you can use to interact with the interface -- just click on them! Mousewheel can also scroll up and down our list of samples.
Changed the layout of the interface a little more, to give more room for descriptions and better author information.
New Showcase can be downloaded from the bottom of the original post in this topic.
What's to do next:
Add Search support so the user can search for a specific author or tag, and limit the results in that manner.
EDIT: (Thanks to a reminder from Rho Sigma) Remember to check if the user has "qb64.exe" or "qb64pe.exe" as their compiler. Also check to see why ESC isn't skipping the initial splash screen as it should.
Copy the rest of the descriptions over from qb64.com for all the files.
Hunt down the original links on the web from where these samples came from. (Shame on the guys who gathered this list originally! One should always attribute *where* they copied stuff from, when copying other people's work! It's just being polite.)
Add more samples to the archives once all else is said and done.
If anyone wants to help with the last few tasks, all you really need to do is open the Index.txt file into your favorite text editor and copy/paste the missing information in the relevant areas. The whole database is set up to be read in a very simple LINE INPUT method, so it doesn't get any simpler than this when editing the information manually. Just post an update of the modified INDEX.txt file here, and I'll merge it into the master archive before I zip it back up and share the next version again.
