ok I will practice graphics and ascii characters. thank you

I master printing, strings, variables, booleans, loops,getting user input, screens, functions, drawing, arrays in QB64 but I'm not ready right now to make a good game. What do you suggest me to learn next?

just PRINT and the result without quotation mark

e.g.:

INKEY$ reads the keyboard buffer. IE the buffer holds the keys pressed until read. PRINT "Press ENTER to continue." DO LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ = CHR$(13) _DELAY 2 PRINT "Press ENTER again to quit." DO PRINT INKEY$; LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ = CHR$(13) Press all the keys you want during the de...

you can press enter twice without waiting for the delay and once the time passes it just ends the application

SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32) PRINT "Press ENTER to continue." DO LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ = CHR$(13) _DELAY 1 PRINT "Press ENTER again to quit." DO LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ = CHR$(13) in this example you can press enter twice without the second print being displayed but it still ends the ap...

You can replace the white frame each loop or place the green box inside of it instead.

sorry because it took me so long to answer but thank you so much!!!

So I tried to make an HP bar. If I try to update it I must use CLS but I don't want the whole screeen to get cleared. Is there any way to fix this or clear only a part of the screen? SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32) white& = _RGB(255, 255, 255) green& = _RGB(0, 255, 0) fhp = 100 hp = fhp DO RE...

ty, now I got it
but is there any way to make this work with _newimage?

I'm not understaing any of that

so I would like to have a colored background but text still apears white on black idk if you understand so I attach a photo: http://www.petesqbsite.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?mode=view&id=26 is there anyway to make text don't have that black background? btw the code: SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600,...

Not a bug! You were reading the INKEY$ function many times and results were read and changed each time: DO K$ = LCASE$(INKEY$) ' K holds first Inkey$ result and lowers uppercase types too LOOP UNTIL K$ = "a" OR K$ = "s" OR K$ = "d" IF K$ = "a" THEN PRINT &quo...

so QB64 inkey$ requires multiple presses to register a key press e.g. : DO IF inkey$ = "a" THEN GOTO 100 IF inkey$ = "s" THEN GOTO 200 IF inkey$ = "d" THEN GOTO 300 LOOP UNTIL inkey$ = "a" OR inkey$ = "s" OR inkey$ = "d" 100 PRINT "You...
