The command Sleep is supposed to allow timers to trigger while the program is sleeping on the delay. This is achieved in QB64 by having commands that do delays manually call evnt() to trigger events if they come up (of which timers are one). Sleep has a custom implementation for console programs on Windows which doesn't do this, so I redid the logic so that it calls evnt() at regular intervals while waiting for input. Additionally, due to now calling evnt() we also need to check if we should exit sleep early due to an evnt() firing. Fixes: #294 |

QB64 Phoenix Edition
QB64 is a modern extended BASIC+OpenGL language that retains QB4.5/QBasic compatibility and compiles native binaries for Windows (Vista and up), Linux and macOS.
The Phoenix Edition is one of the new offshoots created when the old project related pages (QB64Team/www.qb64.org) went offline, but it's still the same programming language. For the whole story visit our new Forum.
Table of Contents
Installation
Download the appropriate package for your operating system over at https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/QB64pe/releases/latest
Windows
Make sure to extract the package contents to a folder with full write permissions (failing to do so may result in IDE or compilation errors).
- It is advisable to to whitelist the 'qb64pe' folder in your antivirus/antimalware software *
macOS
Before using QB64-PE make sure to install the Xcode command line tools with:
xcode-select --install
Run ./setup_osx.command
to compile QB64-PE for your OS version.
Linux
Compile QB64-PE with ./setup_lnx.sh
.
Dependencies should be automatically installed. Required packages include OpenGL, ALSA and the GNU C++ Compiler.
Usage
Run the qb64pe
executable to launch the IDE, which you can use to edit your .BAS files. From there, hit F5 to compile and run your code.
To generate a binary without running it, hit F11.
Additionally, if you do not wish to use the integrated IDE and to only compile your program, you can use the following command-line calls:
qb64pe -c yourfile.bas
qb64pe -c yourfile.bas -o outputname.exe
Replacing -c
with -x
will compile without opening a separate compiler window.
