That's what I wanted to know. :) But I can't call QBASIC slow becuase I came from TI-B. 0->x Lbl 1 Disp x x+1->x Goto 1 Cycles once per a tenth of a second. QB counts to somewhere in the tens of thousands by the time TI gets to 10. But: For (X,1,1000) Output(1,1,X) End Runs 100 cycles per second (in...

QB #24 has a tutorial on rotation. It's in the wireframe article.

Code: Select all

LET X=OX+(X-OX)*COS(A) ? (Y-OY)*SIN(A)
LET Y=OY+(Y-OY)*COS(A)+(X-OX)*SIN(A)
This will rotate point(X,Y) around the point(OX,OY) by a counterclockwise angle of A (in radians)

I meant in terms of equal code. For instance: CLS SCREEN 12 '12 HAS A RESOLUTION OF 640*480 FOR X=0 TO 639 LINE (X, 0) - (X, 479) NEXT X It will run faster in FB than QB (I tried it). So, are there different machine instructions for, say the line command in QBASIC and FreeBASIC? Though I do agree; g...

Here's some articles I'm thinking about: 1) TI-BASIC - QBASIC comp_arison (article) 2) Jerk/Acceleration/Velocity/Position Tutorial 3) Text Saving and Loading Tutorial (How come I couldn't find the tutorial I needed) 4) Or any requests. I'm not doing a full fledged Physics one until I finish my own ...

...Civilization 4,... It would be mine if it didn't run so slow. It barely has any animation, and at that it's mostly frames. I've got 255.5 RAM :lol:. I can't believe that I forgot Sim City 2000 and Sim City 4. Here's my whole spill: Call to Power II Chess Master 9000 Command and Conquer Generals ...

There really needs to be more RPG tutorials. DarkDread's is very good but only covers specific styles and techniques. rpgdx and rpg-dev were supposed to be home to a lot of RPG development techniques but I think both are more or less now just chat sites... I'll try! :D When I finish my own. And it'...

They seemed to have stuffed something up with the rooms. If I go north then south I don't end up where I started. Nothing wrong with it. It's not based on a grid, and if you mapped it out on paper and played around quite a bit it would make sense. It caught me off guard when I first played, becuase...

TI-83's use matricies and some weird statistic thing to solve. Or limits, they work too.

That's the advantage of TI-BASIC: it can do all of that fancy math, albeit slowly.

Checked QBasic.com. Is Pete the same one to this website?

That virus (or Adaware) is fairly old, or is poorly written. My security picked it up, and I haven't updated it since...5-18-07.

Not much of a GUI person myself. I struggled with VB.NET, which is sad considering it does most of the work. :oops:

Something was trying to download onto my computer. I don't think it was harmful, but other people might not see it like that.
