    Yes, it reads right. I have sketched this recipe for compiling in Windows: https://github.com/udhos/basgo/blob/master/README-windows.md If you face difficulties with the recipe, you can reach me at: everton.marques(at)gmail.com Everton

    Hi, Due to limitations in the compiler, I had to tweak the code in order to compile it. This is the final code I compiled. However I am afraid I broke the math in line 10 when inserting parenthesis for RND(). The compiler is unable to parse RNDnumber, it requires RND(number). I think I might have mistranslated RNDG/2, RNDEV250, and PERC=RA100/(G+0.1). Can you help me to fix properly line 10? 1 screen 0 5 RANDOMIZE TIMER:CLS:?"Statistical distribution of random natural events (SI=0 TO 4) ongoing...":'ON...

    I experimented with compiling your bechmark code to native code with my toy compiler for basic: https://github.com/udhos/basgo Not filling the screen, your code took Average= 0.00011061930126743391 Filling the screen, it took: Average= 0.1786323386011645 Compiled to native executable, under Linux, x86_64, i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz

    You could try: chdir "esi" run "esi.bas" Everton Em dom, 13 de jun de 2021 12:56, David Wright djmwright@users.sourceforge.net escreveu: OK. I have put the esi folder into my documents. I have loaded it using Load"esi\esi.bas". Message says OK. Then I enter Run. The PC bleeps and PC-Basic closes. I think that the program has to access other files (e.g. .dat) in the esi folder. Could that be a reason why it isn't working?David From: Rob Hagemans robhagemans@users.sourceforge.net Sent: 13 June 2021...

    Can you share the code?

    Hi Tommy, Which PCBASIC version are you running? I am using 2.0.2. That could account for differences where files are located. I think I see the source of your confusion when editing programs in PCBASIC. PCBASIC closely emulates the GWBASIC editing features that are at odds with what one would expect nowdays. That's why I recommended Notepad++. However the trick is, PCBASIC editor only actually updates one FULL line of the program when you position the cursor over that line and hits RETURN. Just...

    Hey Tommy, Sorry that Notepad++ didn't work in your system. It is an awesome tool. Did you try the 32-bit version or the 64-bit one? The benefit in finding the location of the drive letter Z: is you can load/save files using other code editors than the one included in PC-BASIC (that is cumbersome to work with any longer code). PC-BASIC documentation about the driver letter Z: states this: "If PC-BASIC is started from the start menu shortcut, the current device will be your Documents folder (or My...
