A while back, some buds and I started working on this library called the FreeBASIC Extended Library. It has some pretty nice features, such as matrix/vector classes, a full sprite class(pretty much) and all kinds of string handling functions, sorting routines, etc... We're kind of shooting for FB's answer to boost. Anyway, here's a pretty nifty demo I put together that use FB's gfxlib, Newton physics lib and OpenGL. The full source code is in there, and fbext is open-source as well, so if you plan on making any games with FreeBASIC, don't forget about FBEXT! (http://code.google.com/p/fb-extended-lib/) :cheers:

Nice to see all this stuff put together. Interesting demo. It would be cool to see it all put to some practical use :)

Thanks. :) I did make that skeeball game... dunno if you guys saw that one?
You can try that, if you want. :D

Awesome work. Really like the posted demos. Runs very smooth.
Btw. I would choose a more significant title for this post than
"Hi guys" ;)
Really good work Dr_D, well done!
Looks cool, but i think that i get some slight artifacts. It doesn't happen every time i run it.
Runs very smooth on my nvidia 8800gts
That's a karmic post if I ever saw one :)
The demo runs fine here ATI X1650, sometimes some of the objects flew through walls but it looks really impressive. Thanks for letting us know about it!
Thanks guys. Paul, that's disturbing how you get those artifacts. It's almost as if it's ignoring the 8-bit stencil buffer request. Are you running Vista?
Awesome looking demo!!!
Thanks Rel. :cheers:
Hey guys, I don't get any email notifications anymore. :bfuck2:

yup, Vista it is. I'm using the latest Nvidia driver(169.25).
The artifacts don't appear every time I run it and they don't appear at all in the skee ball demo.
I'm running it with Vista and GeForce 8800 GTS too and I have not yet seen thoose artifacts in this little demo.
