TOOLBOX64

This is A740G's Toolbox. A collection of libraries for QB64-PE.

USAGE

This works best when it is used as a Git submodule:

  • Open Terminal and change to your project directory using an appropriate OS command
  • Run git submodule add https://github.com/a740g/Toolbox64 include to add this repository as a Git submodule in the include subdirectory
  • Run git submodule update --init --recursive to initialize, fetch and checkout git submodules

Assuming you made this a Git submodule in a directory called include in your source tree, do the following:

' At the top of your code include the library_name.bi file (if it has one)
'$Include:'include/library_name.bi'

' Your code here...

' At the bottom of your code include the library_name.bas file (if it has one)
'$Include:'include/library_name.bas'

NOTES

  • I made this for myself and as such, it is tailored to my coding style and conventions
  • Expect this to keep changing and evolving
  • This requires the latest version of QB64-PE
  • All files here are in source-only form and will never include any binaries
  • There is no directory structure. This lends itself well to the fact that you can conveniently use this as a Git submodule
  • All library files have include guards. You can include these multiple times (even from your own include files)
  • I do not use the .bm extension because GitHub does not syntax-highlight .bm files
  • There is no documentation because I do not have the time to write those. The source code is (in most cases) self-documenting
  • I use this in most of my QB64-PE projects. Those projects in most cases have a brief API documentation and also should have good amounts of example code to get you started
