#VBA and #R part 2 #RStats #VisualBasic #Excel #OpenSource

@glyph @gothnbass @lispegistus well, #Scripts are #Software.

#BASIC, #bash and even #VisualBasic-Macros ain't less of a Software due to requiring an interpreter.

Otherwise were would you draw the line?

Java??
C???
Architecture-Specific Assembly????

I'm finally getting around to publishing my weeks in review from 2022 and was reminded of this HTML+CSS, #Windows98 themed Sprite Editor I wrote in order to assist in adding a sprite sheet to a porting to #TypeScript of a game written in #VisualBasic nearly 20 years ago...

My hyper focus has a theme and by god I stick with it.

Anyone know what these screens that popup while an application is loading are called?

Here is the result of my tinkering today. ~500LoC in and I have a mock windowing system partially implementing the Win32 Window API. :kerm:

#TypeScript #VisualBasic #Windows98

I may have accidentally spent too long partially implementing the #VisualBasic windowing system in #TypeScript.

At least now my In browser ports of 20 year old VB6 code can behave as expected. What a way to spend a day…

With the background bug solved, I have moved on to writing buggy bird AI.

I believe this to be a 1-2-1 port from #VisualBasic to #TypeScript however the birds almost always go from their spawn point (red circle) to the bottom of the map instead of wandering towards their exit point (green circle).

#GameDev

I seem to have a bug in my #VisualBasic to #TypeScript port.

This is most likely down to me getting confused between cols/rows/width/height/x/y throughout the code.

I am manipulating the image data of a canvas directly and my idx lookup is probably wrong.

I need to work out the JavaScript equivilant to Visual Basics BitBlt function.

it feels similar to applying drawImage on a canvas 2D context...

This VB6 code for a function that generates four tiles took me down a bit of a rabbit hole.

TURFWinter, TURFSpring, etc are all PictureBox's and the PSet method sets a pixel colour at a given co-ordinate.

This seems to suggest that the original game didn't have a tileset for the ground texture and instead generated it randomly.
