VM should work. For B4i (ios) you need also a mac for compile afaik.

The output runs on win, linux, server, mac, ios, android or arduino. Depending on what you used b4a, b4i, b4j or b4r. The syntax is the same eveywhere.

The crossplatform libary b4x pages makes sure that the same program look and feel can be compiled to various platforms without to much hassle.

I made some apps for my own use.

One is a food score browser. It connects to an offline database supplied with the apk and shows search results in a scrollable list as well as details on select. You can search in english and german the same time.

I know I won`t make friends with this but check out B4A.

Its a “BASIC like” syntax (no its not basic spaghetti code) in a RAD environment that outputs native java code apk.

Its free and a good support forum. You could even put your app on the store

Edit: you could also compile to java for pc and ios software

Its just with tax, I don’t want to get in trouble with the IRS

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just my thought.

A new version or #6 will not change this. Cross-gen for the sake of making money takes away exclusivity.

Nintendo took his chance by betting on mobile.

A lot of remakes and no risk for new ideas. The market is feed up and also mobile smartphone casual gaming takes its toll.

They would better save the money for a new hardware and try to bring some fresh ideas.

Just my 5c

PEP8 is looking at you

Give it to the community you will get it back in 3 years max.

Or do nothing the next two years and AI will do it for you within some days.

Here is an article that explains what you are thinking about.

In short, you can’t.

A bit longer, while in quantum dimentions it is meanwhile obvious that superposition exists. As shown by many experiments. In the marco world it seems that there is a threshold of factors still to be determined what makes reality happen even if nobody experience it on a conscious level.

Soap, beside giving a good smell, has one job. It breaks up the water surface tension to enable it cleaning of the skin surface. Normally the water would not reach the wrinkels of the skin and would not take the contamination off it.

So any soap is good to go. The other stuff in soap like smell and moisture effects don’t matter that much in general and are overrated imoho.

Pocketbook anyone?

Have fb, didn;t use it for years, wanted to delete account but ‘due to EU law change you must choose between targeted ads or subscription of €12.99 a month before you have acces tto your account’. There is no option to delete without either coonsent or paying. (So it’ll either linger forever of finally get deleted)

Are you sure? Just took the chance and deleted my deactivated account without any hick-ups.

Interesting, as I know proton from the gaming side.

Syncthing to my selfhosted proxmox server at home then rclone encrypted and unencrypted depending on content, to my cloud storage. Fully automtatic meanwhile.

Rclone syncs to various cloud services so the provider doesn’t matter from a technical point of view.

The latest announcements regarding windows also brings me to the linux route again.

While I use it in the home environment I still have some software that must work. I will test drive on an older laptop first and will see how far it goes.

For server / network I already use linux a lot, for desktop I am still not conviced, yet.

It started with typing in BASIC code out of magazines. Used an Apple II those days. I missed the step going into pascal, C etc and stuck with basic syntax more or less my whole life. Not spagetti code anymore but still some BASIC derivates. B4X is what I use on Android now to create native APK.

Also I love IDEs with an integrated graphical interface designer. VB6 was my thing.

Over the years I used assembler, sql, bash also but always as tools to get my hardware to do what I need. The software I wrote was/is for my own convenience at work and in private. Written for PC and Android.

I tried to go commercial one time but the lawyer I talked to shattered my dreams because of insurance requirements when you write software used in peoples air transport business. If something goes wrong you really have a problem.

My Android software uses databases filled with scraped data so can’t make them official as well. The royalty fees to pay if I try the official route kills every attempt before starting.

So it’s still a hobby, very satisfying but not more.

Edit: scraped not scrapped , LoL

I know and wrote for both of them.

Jeez I am old.
