Why would you write that out in QBASIC? In C++ all you have to do is type "sqrt".

640k, got it, thanks. However, what I meant by memory is, say I have 500 SHARED ARRAYS, won't that take a jimongogantis chunk of the 640k? Also, I'm in Screen 13, not 12, so the three files isn't something I have to worry about, I have one map filling most of the screen, with an area below and on th...

The limited memory in QuickBasic, does it apply to the compiled file? I. e. Spore, a popular computer video game, written in C++, has n...

Alright, I got my sprites working, now updating is bothering me. An example (Not Exact) of the code I'd use Do Press$ = INKEY$ IF Press = "w" DIR = 1 IF HY > TopofScreen then HY = HY - 1 -----The rest (a, s, d)----- END IF IF HY <> OLDHY CLS Call DRAWMAP Call DRAWHERO ENDIF Loop When I do ...

I have two questions: 1. How do you organize your video game graphics/Sprites? I have mine all listed out, Bit-mapped, and stored in their array in the main tier. They are organized like this: ======================================== ':::SPRITES::: '\\\RANDOM GUY/// [Read loop Goes here] {Data Bitma...
