Lee, the extension does not matter, you can use .fil, .txt, .doc, .dat or any other extension you want as long as it's 3 characters only. And .fil is just an abbreviation of File.

D.S., to me QuickBasic is still very much alive and kicking. I actually expected QB to be pretty much dead for the last many years, until I came across this site a couple of months ago. The fact that it still exists proves more than anything to me that QB is far from dead. Also, just look at the man...

Pft, only took me 5 mins to go through all that, including programs.

Thanks mac, this is exactly what I was talking about, so it should be very useful in my learning process. And yeah, it should take me a while to go through it. :P

Disk1of64, I'm not quite sure what it is that you want to do. Do you have some mathematical formulas at hand that you want to use with a row of numbers and then predict the forthcoming numbers, or do you somehow want the program to calculate a formula from the numbers you're given? Also, I must admi...

Thanks Mac, programming tricks is a better phrase to use so I changed the title accordingly. You have a good point, and the few tricks I've noticed so far have also been from looking at other people's codes. For instance, using semicolon instead of plus in a print sentence makes it look cleaner to m...

Well, the site seems to work fine to me, I didn't get any blue screens or errors. However the GUI download links are broken.

List of fancy little QuickBasic coding tricks

Ya okay, quirks is not the best word to use, but with my mental English dictionary being shut down, it'll do for now. BASICally what I'm wondering is if there is a book or a website that deals with all the little fancy things in QuickBASIC, that set the line between a so-and-so programmer, and a sho...

Sorry for the delay, but I've spent the last 4 days trying to get my computer back up and running. :( You make a good point with those programs, Mac, with that long a run time, I think I'm just going to go with Mentat's suggestion and somehow try and recreate the matrix from the rules. Thank you bot...

Yep, I got it, but Mac, since you didn't understand what I was trying to explain, I made a small program to demonstrate it. Yes, I know it's horribly coded but it shows my purpose, which is all I intended for it to do. DECLARE SUB Method1 () DIM SHARED Grid(1 TO 5, 1 TO 5) AS INTEGER DIM SHARED RowC...

Yeah you're right, sorry about that, the number I posted was from another project I had been working on. But alright, let's boil it down to something a little smaller. It's the principle in it that I want to try out anyway. For instance a 4x4 array where you have to choose between between the number...

Actually there's not a specific application. I have made many applications where I have had to do the basics of what I described above, but just with different values and I have never known a good way of doing it. The sudoku and my own example are just a couple of examples to show what I mean. Simpl...

Actually it should be 0 to 4, since you dimension 5 elements in the array. But lbound to ubound would be better, less hard-coding, although it's not really important in a small program like this.

While I haven't tried compiling it yet, and thus don't know if it has resolved the Data Memory issue, it seems to work for the other issues. Thank you. I must admit though that I'd prefer if there was a solution that allowed me to keep my userdefined types, mainly for good structure. At the moment I...

Best iterating through all values for all elements in array

Ya, quite a long title. It's a hard problem to cut down to a mere line of description. Let's say that I have an array of 5x5 elements, i.e. a total of 25. Each of these elements can have a value from 1 to 4. And what I want to do is to check for all possible combinations of these values. I'm aware t...

Memory problems with user-defined types

I am trying to make a user-defined type to help me define an image. To do this, I of course need an array of pixels, and since the screen in QuickBasic can be a maximum of 640x480 that is how big I want the array to be. So I declare it like this. TYPE Image Pixel(0 TO 319, 0 TO 479) AS INTEGER Palet...
