wow thanks. that was so much help. I don't actually hav that commenting in my program I addeed it in when I posted that message, and it was rushed lol. Anyway one other question if you're happy to keep to keep helping me. Is there anyway I can use different characters for the meteor? At the moment I...

Heres the whole thing, pretty messy, but oh well. CLS 'Set spaceship and meteor position y = 2 x = 1 meteorx = 38 meteory = 2 Delay = TIMER 'Map COLOR 15 PRINT "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" PRINT " " PRINT " " PRINT " " PRINT " " PRINT "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" 'Check f...

Code: Select all

stime! = timer
Do
loop until Timer - stime! > dlay!

urr hello? can you read? I said I got it working...

Alright thats sorted now, thanks everyone. One last thing, I've made it so my Spaceship can't move through an asteroid or any "0". Anyway after It moves along ther screen the asteroid leaves behind an invisible trail o "0"'s. I thought I printed over them with nothing, but I can't move my spaceshi[p...

yea that works, But even if I put WhatDelayYouWant down to 1, it now moves too slowly lol. Any ideas?

I am creating a space shooter and I'm having a problem with my asteroids. They are moving to quickly. The whole program is in a loop so you can move the spaceship around and after I print the asteroid ASCII I have the line: asteroidx = asteroidx + 1 Anyway because the loop runs so fast the asteroid ...

how do I do that?

When you save a QBASIC Program to a text file and store variables in it, is there anyway to encrypt the numbers so people using the program can't alter the variables?

Well, my code is: FOR Counter = 0 TO 60 row = CSRLIN LOCATE row, 1 PRINT "0" SLEEP 1 LOCATE row, 1 PRINT " " LOCATE row, 2 PRINT "0" NEXT Counter So you can see I want the 0 to jump back and forth between coulmn 1 and 2. However at the moment when it loops around it just starts a new line (yes I nee...

Hi all, I know how to use the basics of the LOCAT Row,Column statement however I have a quick question about it. I want to print the character "0" on a new line after my last PRINT statement. However due to things previous in the program this line may not always be the same so I can't set the Row an...
