timfung5 i dont know if this can help but i think its like "full screen" ^^. Hope we can do it on LB5 
LB5 is a cross platform BASIC. What you're showing here is very Windows specific, so I can only speculate that it will not be easy to do for all the operating systems that I'll be supporting. |

I didn't get much done for a couple of weeks because I caught a nasty flu that is making its way around here, but now I'm back on the job.
The sprite code is now mostly there, and I needed to work on the syntax coloring which needed to be reworked.
Getting closer to alpha testing.

Do you have some screenshots to share?

OK, I'm READY for the Raspberry Pi NOW.... I really need LB w/GPIO for a project. Where can I get it and how much??? I am working to start posting alpha releases for LB5 by the end of this month. Just to give an update on where things stand, Liberty BASIC 5 has had many internal builds this year. A lot of work has gone into porting it forward to a new major revision of the development tools and libraries. This is important because until now there has been no way to support the Raspberry Pi platform, and I see that as a major opportunity. Recently I have been working to finish up the graphics and sprite support. Liberty BASIC 5 will include new features such as: - Support for Windows and new OSes: MacOS, x86 Linux and the Raspberry Pi - Database functionality such as ODBC and SQLite (possibly also Postgres and MySQL) - New function name style syntax for programming widgets and graphics i.e. #draw color(255, 0, 0) - More widgets including a grid/table - Easy and clean object model added for more modular programming - The ability to pass #handle based things (widgets etc.) as parameters into subs and functions - Improved performance - Tabbed code editor - More than one sprite surface per running program - and more These things are already in the codebase. Some will not work completely in the upcoming alpha releases, but we will get there. Looking forward to pushing this stuff out there and seeing what you all do with it. -Carl |

By the time we are in beta testing it will. |

The alpha testing will be done publicly. Anyone will be able to download and test. It does make me think though that perhaps the first or second alpha releases may benefit from a small select group of testers. What do you think? |

Maybe the second alpha release, please don't torment us Plebeians any longer than you have too |

I think alpha releases have been done with a smaller core team in the past, but it is really up to you. The more eyes the better.

I have downloaded (and unzipped) build 351 to C:/lb5X32-351/lb5alpha-351/*.* Next I sent the *.* files only to Rpi 3B+ dir [/home/pi/lb5rpi] using filzilla.
chmod +x lb5alpha.exe was executed but there are still errors
To run the file I followed Carl's instructions from apr 24,2019::
Command terminal$$$
cd lb5rpi
./lb5alpha.exe lb5alpha.im (nothing but excuses form the Pi)
I saw the lb5alpha.exe make effort to run one of my old LB graphic programs on Win 10; so I know it might work with some help.

You're using the wrong binary.
lb5alpha.exe is the Windows binary.
lin32-* is the x86 Linux binary.
rpi-alpha is the Raspberry Pi binary.
Use the following command in the LB5 folder, and it should run:
./rpi-alpha lb5alpha.im

but the first alpha release of LB5 for the Pi won't support GPIO. By the time we are in beta testing it will.
