Pete's QBASIC Site

Whats everybody coding right now? Im typing a tutorial and a making a BMP compatible tile arrenger/map editor. Im just curious to know what everybody codes for fun !

I mean what are your trying to create that you compete with? I cant find anything that says that.

wazat?

Well, your gonna need on LINE command and one CIRCLE command. Start off by drawing your box of lines except cut them off by whatever the radius of your rounded circle edges will be. Next, draw the circle at the "would be" intersection point of all the lines(top left, top right, ect...) exc...

I have a brilliant (not) idea. How about only posting links that people want to see? I mean, put some more stuff on the site that'll keep people interested. 4 basic games wont cut it.

Yeah, GOTO's have their purposes but then again... well... check out "Haunted Halloween" from www.qbasic.com under "action games" in the "download" section. This has to be the WORST use of GOTO's I have ever seen. It must've taken this guy a year to finish it.

To be honest, Ive never seen Linux before. Everybody I know uses Windows.

Thats amazing, ever since I got one Ive been trying to make (96x64, greyscale) games on it. Its really hard! Every site that has a tutorial on it tells you something else.

Let me get this straight, the TI-84 Plus SE has a FASTER processor than a game boy?

Why? I dont get it! I leave for 2 seconds and I become a piece of the conversation! Lets say that "qB Iz gUD eND PhREEbasiK EZ GUD 2". As for 2D games, I heard that game-boy's use the same processor thats in a TI-84 Plus SE. Ain't that kinda cool? I mean, nobody actually does any graphing ...

I think not! QB is cooler no matter what anyone says, IMSO! Hands down, no more discussion.

Ive sorta got a Franken-Computer, a random jumble of old and new parts all on one XP.

Really, QB is classic. FreeBASIC wouldnt have been there were it not for QB. Oh yeah and Nek, you need to chill out and avoid having a heart attack over something posted online by someone you dont even know. Smooth move ace!

Thats the funniest picture ever! Where'd you get it?

Does yall' want it jus' like it is now? Ive only covered Translucency, Rotation and Transparency. Or I could finish it and then give it to you then.

Hey Nek, I aint the one typing loads and crying over his dear "freeBASIC". Not neccesarily is the one who creates the better program the better programmer. Lets say Nek used his beloved FreeBASIC and made some 3D thing with OpenGL, then I came along and made the same thing in pure QB excep...

Im must say sorry to all that I didnt get my sprite tutorial finished in time. It will though, hands down be in the next article!

So then whos the better programmer... the one who uses QB the "pain in the ass" or FB?

Thanks! It is, I cant wait myself!

There you go, you can just load BMP's into memory. Good programmers are running out cause they lack the experience to do things like create a BMP loader.
