Expanding Horizons

[admin]

If you guys have noticed, I've added another section to our site:  Expanding Horizons.

What this section is dedicated to is for any and all library creators to have a nice simple place to post and curate their work.  *.BI and *.BM libraries are useful expansion which allow QB64 to do things that it couldn't do before, and it's an easy way for *anyone* to contribute to the language -- so there should also be an easy place place where they can easily keep, maintain, and make available their stuff.

If you're a creator of *BI or *.BM libraries, and you want to share them with the rest of the world, post me a comment here and I'll set you up your own little corner of the web -- with full moderator rights and authority there -- and you'll have a spot to highlight and maintain all that you do and share.

I hesitate to chime in, I did a header translation for Windows of LibTomMath https://www.libtom.net/ and a partial of the intel decimal floating-point lib
but no-one showed any interest in the other forum, so just ignore me

@Jack If you want your own little corner of the web to host it, just speak up and let me know.  It only takes a moment to make a dedicated forum for someone and to give them moderator rights there.

Or, if you prefer, I'll put up a "Various Contributors" forum, and you can post it there for now, and I can always make you a dedicated forum once you have more stuff to put in there besides just a single thing.  

Choice is yours -- I'm rather easy to get along with.

I like your second option, if there's enough interest in my stuff then I may ask you for my little corner, thanks for your generous offer

How's the "One Hit Wonders" sound to you?

Well put me and TheBOB down for a sub-forum when you get around to it. I'll upload TheBOB's stuff in his, and gather up some SCREEN 0 goodies for mine. I'll even include for free a graphics GUI. Now I have to take a shower.

Expanding Horizons is for Library creators to share their work, Pete, so that others can find their archives and make use of them -- not so much for individual programmers to have a spot to highlight their massive collection of work; though I do like that idea! How about a subforum for "Prolific Programmers", instead? A place where anyone with more than a half dozen programs/samples -- who wants their own spot on the web -- can ask for and get one.

I've got to admit, such a set up would've definitely saved me some time and searching in the past, when I knew ProgrammerX had wrote CodeY, but I couldn't find their dang work as it was lost in the shuffle!

[Pete]

SPOT ON, let's do it!

I'll add stuff from TheBOB, my stuff, and I was even thinking of transporting over several of the old members posts in the Proud of Forum of QBF.

Also, again, same page. It used to drive me nuts searching and sifting trough threads at .rip to find older when I knew the author but couldn't recall the thread.

Thanks,

Pete

It's up already for you, here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=26

If you don't see it, all I can suggest is to do a refresh of the site until you do.
