Pete's QBASIC Site

I'm cruisin'. There's a lot to write about functions themselves. Now I need to figure out how to implement function overloading...in my tutorial of course. I already knew how to overload.

3 pages going onto four. And I'm not even done.

What's this Pcopy's edition specifically about?

And how did you skip from 50 to 60? Are you publishing 2 per day?
I'm already tied up with the QB Express. But if you are really in need of help, I can think of something to write (if I know what I'm writing about).

How about a tutorial on functions? Simple, I know, but most tutorials I see focus on Subroutines, not Functions. And maybe include local vars.

I was going to write a tutorial on a 3d First person maze, using at tops 2 kilobytes for pics, maze array, and source. But my program has a bug (it still works without error, but it's super-imposing pictures). Once I fix it, I'll work on the tutorial. So basically, it's memory mangagement in a game....

Thanks

I noticed the repeat=0 thing too, but when I ran it, it was never a problem (I might have pasted wrong).

Thanks for the division=a/0. I forgot about error handling. A lot more probably needs handling too.

:D This isn't my first C++ program (more like third), but it's my first one that can do something, and the first one that doesn't have a bug. And my first one with functions. Please tell me where and how I can improve. It does multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. I originally started...

Mac, I think your [c0de] ... [/c0de] isn't working.

Other than that, VB goes over my head. I tried VB.Net, but all my variables kept on turning into my title.

So what's the plan for QB 26? Who wants such-and-such tutorials to be written, who's planning on writing so-and-so articles and reviews?

The latest QB Expresses have been very good. Let's keep it up.

Ah, some of you need to lighten up.

By the way, does anybody know anything about the next monthly poll?

What happened! I can't return to the site (this is my only way in). There's something wrong!!!

Excelent addition . I probably need to learn about peek/poke. I'm horrible with memory related stuff.

Because "Pete's QB site" stands for:
Pete's Quick free BASIC Site


Cheer up. After all, QB and FB are, as of now at least, hobby languages.

Ah Mac, don't worry. My main question was answered.

Before this turns ugly :
What about the monthly poll?

Actually, I meant a built-in function, like in BlitzBasic. I know FB has CreateImage(), but I don't think it does what I want (it creates the image during run-time, but doesn't load). I'm thinking QB might have an equivalent to ImageLoad(), but I'm not sure if there is one or what the actual functio...

Okay. So can it be done in QB?
Thanks for the link.

Or just any image (in bitmap)?

And while I'm at it (I don't feel like making an extra post for this), what about the monthly polls?

FreeBASIC has built in tutorials in the help section. Now that I've used FB, I don't think I can go back to QBASIC.

Ohhh... so I work on one while another is displayed? I just used the Screensync command.

So is there some rules of thumb I can use to guess when to Flip? And do I need CLS if I'm using different pages?

Thanks.

And when is the best time to insert a flip command in FreeBASIC? I haven't gotten the entire concept down.
