Pete's QBASIC Site

I've been a games reviewer since 1999, so set me up and let me at 'em

And i refuse to believe that the blessed Qmunity would forget their past and roots in Qb,settling rather for the infamous FB,yes change is good, but so is tradition.[/b] Aren't we all here because we have a link with Basic? Since when is QuickBasic the only Basic out there? QBasic is also a viable ...

That struck me as odd too, as lcase was used in the other checks

And don't you dare quit, Pete. If you need help around the site, I might be able to donate some hours over the course of the weeks.

A loop, subs and case. I can dig it

I sucked giant... Let's just say I wasn't the best :) I'd been dabbling in QB since ever, and when I finally got my own 'net access in '99, I found the "Qmunity" (hardy laugh), and stuck. I made 1 lame attempt at a game engine, called the Fabled System, which was based on the choose your o...

Even in that case I wouldn't use GOTO. Any time I've used an input expecting certain options, I use a loop, where the options typed that are expected open a sub, returning control to the loop when the subs end. GOTO isn't necessarily a bad thing, I agree, and can be very useful in many situations, b...

Okay, suggestions... Hmmm... How about this: Flash intros suck. Big-time. I don't know what people's obsession with them is, but I just don't see the point. All it adds is one click more to get to the stuff you're at the site for. It's like trying to make it seem your website is better than it is. A...

It seemed to me that the GOTO was offered more by example, as in "sort of like what GOTO does".

I think that in this situation, and if it won't cause a spaghetti situation, it'll be easiest, cleanest and most useful to simply use subs

Josiah and I have been working on RGB on and off over the last couple of years. I've written a few early prototypes in several languages but until FB came out, never got too far. I've now got a universal RPG engine written in FB which I'm using for RGB, WOS, and DP, plus any other RPGs we might thi...

I'd just be lame and call a dedicated sub

But then again, I haven't touched Basic in years

Whoa, hey vohaul! :D Long time no see, man! :D Where ya been? :D I been in the abandonware community for ages, and now I'm in the weblog hosting community, and generic website hosting :) I've had a paid hosting service, but opted not to do that, because people expect so much, and I got bored with t...

I like the part about me offering hosting

And while I didn't mention it, you got it right - it's not just QB, it's FB, it's C, it's AGS-made games, I don't care. I'm giving something back to the gaming creation community and it's damn time!

Addendum: I can and am willing to host domains as well. We have our own nameservers and we use Cpanel. Basically, I rock

With a whopping 8 gigs of space free on my server and over 70 gigs of bandwidth just lying around, I thought I'd do something back for the community that started me on the painful path of learning your way around the web. I've gotten to know some people that I still regard as friends, even though I ...
