Question, Answered completely with bonus code to boot.

I put no mention of self inflation in that article and if you have a dictionary and a thesarus by you, you surely can check every word and every other definition of every word and find I did not elevate myself on a golden pedestal at all in that forum article reply. ^.^' ;; Have a nice day. <3------...

cross product?

Telling the difference between cross and dot products did confuse me thoroughly.. I could only tell the code apart from each other if I saw a listing of both side by side... @.@' I have been able to use 3D rotation formulas though, and scalar multiplication to make a vector clown do what looked like...

Shelling around

I solved this problem awhile ago.. First, write a batch file to start QBasic interpreter to run your program, and in the same batch file have it execute another batch file that the QBasic program creates. If necessary, have the batch file the qbasic program makes set an environment variable that the...

Creating colors

In SCREEN 13, the standard group of colors you get is what the default is when you initalize a &HA000 screen in mode &H19 of the BIOS.. aka QBasic mode 13. The nice thing is there is a range of gray scale colors in there, a complete rainbow almost, a darker copy of the rainbow, and some othe...

back face culling

there is a math routine that calculates the points to see if they come out to a positive or a negative number and it follows somehow on the fact that polygons are drawn using clock-wise drawn points,.. and if the points run in the other direction, counter clockwise, the formula returns the opposite ...

colored text

I have solved this problem awhile ago since doing an ANSI thingy in EGA.. Assuming you are using SCREEN 13,.. i'll go with that.. make an 8x8 box of the color 255 using LINE get it.. xor it over your text that was color'ed in color 255 as well now, your text background has shifted from the backgroun...

String Modifying

When you make something longer, you repeat the statement of this style. (nul means no character, no output and no nothing.. an empty string.) ?Wolf$ [output: nul] ^__ ? is short for PRINT in QBasic ^_____ the outcome of the operation - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ...

frame buffer

Do you realize that using an array in the conventional memory is suicide? Once you allocate all that memory space you drop what's available for your program which also resides in conventional memory and risk a "OUT OF MEMORY " BSOD error.. The reason I have elected to use BSAVE/BLOAD is qu...

Flaming is a waste of time in my book, no matter what "crime against humanity" people have done.. I personally think flaming is degrading,.. and I agree.. the original coder should write their code, .. but to me it sounds like this coder is a n00b to QBasic completely,.. or at least seems ...

Fixing your CPU

Tell your program to periodically take a coffee break. Your program will only hog CPU cycles if it constantly requests access to something via IRQ, DMA, or the FPU (486+1) math co-processor chip. That means.. make it do something stupid like twirl a cursor.. - / | \ - / | \ .. or do a null loop.. so...
