PowerBasic Snippets - Linux Mint Windows apps - part 4 @powerbasicforbeginners

Uploaded May 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 hours ago

This is part of a new series of videos covering PowerBasic applications running under Linux Mint.
I am by no means a Linux Mint expert, and the purpose of these videos is to see if PowerBasic applications will run cleanly using WINE.

Today we are fixing some issue with a PowerBasic Windows application that runs a game simulation with graphical maps where there are some anomalies between running under Windows and Linux Mint using WINE.

I don't work for, nor am I paid or sponsored by, the owners of PowerBASIC, I'm just a fan of their products.

00:00 - Introduction
00:19 - The issues to be fixed
02:01 - How the small map is copied
05:11 - How the Compass is drawn
07:04 - Detecting when running in WINE
12:40 - Testing in Linux Mint
13:46 - Summary

$The Big Picture of Software Development - podcast This is part of a new series of podcasts covering discussion on Projects and Design videos already uploaded. This video provides an overview of the essential elements for successful software development in large development teams. It introduces a big picture consisting of six interconnected components. Issue management is crucial for tracking requested changes and defects. Version management allows for the tracking and merging of file changes across different product versions. Build management focuses on the automated compilation and assembly of software. Baseline management defines specific collections of files for particular product versions. Process and workflow management controls the overall development lifecycle. Finally, release management encompasses testing and the deployment of new software versions.
