Hi.

I downloaded the program, and I was playing with the sprite interface. It is all black, and I can't draw on it. What do I have to do to be able to drawn correctly on it?

Also, is the source code available on github or another similar place?

Have you tried right clicking and changing the background color or foreground color?

No it is not open source.

just an idea on visualbb: Is it possible to have a pagination when printing? my cat had the idea to jump atop my programs notes and it took me time to reorganise the sheets thanks.

I finally figured out how to add page numbers. Sadly a rich text control doesn't support it, so I had to edit the graphical image before it gets sent to the print spooler. Anyway, this will be in the next update.

I have a feature request. Can we add an option to the menu system to build and send the binary to Harmony cartridge?

There is already support for an alternate .bat file. As a last step you could probably just add copy <yourfiename> <harmony Drive>

Hey man been looking at this awhile and been wanting to play with it but haven't had the time or place to mess with it for a bit...

AWESOME PROJECT....

Can't get it to work for the life of me though.

Music and Sound editor gives me exceptions...who cares...be nice to have it work....BUT

The damned thing freezes on compile on me...no cr@p...it does.

EVERY FREEAKIN TIME EVERY MACHINE

What gives?

Simple stuff...gotta know I do understand this...changed every install every directory...every suggested new batch...

Machine is doing something...yep watched task manager FOR HOURS...but it never compiles a binary.

Yeah know what I am doing and this thing is like a wet dream. But it isn't working. HELP.

Post me a BIN on this...tell me I am wrong or WTF is up?

HELP?????

I suggest you go through the bB readme first and make sure you can compile at the commandline. 99% of the problems are related to bB not being properly installed first such as:
1. Not extracting the zip file with the directory structure resulting in the compiler not able to locate all the bB library files.
2. Not moving sed.exe over.
3. Not having the bB environment and path settings configured - most people don't read the readme.txt and miss this
4. Having a space in your directory folder. I suggest something simple like c:\atari\bB - this is probably the most common problem
5. Replace the default batch file (see first post in this thread for replacement link) - I believe the paths in the original file use / instead of \ which is probably because Batari doesn't use Windows as his development environment.

If you do all of that you should be able to compile the sample .bas files and vbB should work fine.

For the sound editor it sounds like the sound lib is missing. There are two downloads and you need to extract both (see first post in this thread).

If you are using the experimental builds of bB 1.1 then I would grab the experimental version of vbB in my blog.
