MilesAway1980: I just saw a copuple of nice program snippets, one for saving an array with a tile by using BSAVE, the other for retrieving the array by using a BLOAD and then PUTing it to screen. That got me thinking of your large program, and your quest for memory. So...Are you into BSAVEing and BL...

One thing more, maybe the most important one! Do try to answer and participate in helping those who do ask questions here. Don't help by posting your program as the answer, rather, try to give hints and direct the original posters (OPs), so they can develop their own code. From time to time, we get ...

I think your next step is to design a menu with your cities listed. I would load my array by reading the data, then sort it alphabetically. Now, as Sid6.7 has stated, prefix them with, say, the digits 0 to 9, if you have 10 or less cities, or with the letters A to Z, if you have more than 10 cities....

Only last year, we were still seeing signs of high school kids being taught QB and VB. Now, I hardly see request for help from that source. And, with icrosoft's not supporting VB anymore, we will be seeing less and less people using the BASIC-based languages. There are a few small groups of very goo...

Thanks, Ted
Thanks to you, I have now improved the program a little, and corrected the total number of rows that your oritginal code provided, by adding 1, as you suggested. Here is the new code: GOTO RAE 'Program by "burger22", alias Ted, on 10/02/2008, as posted on: 'http://www.petesqbsite.com/forum...

Aviatrix, I think you are doing very well! I also think Sid is the one to continue to help you, he's doing a fine job of it. Me, I just want to add one thing here, regarding DIMming a number of arrays with of the same size. In case you have to change the size more than once, it saves time and effort...

Ted: Isn't it easier to use QuickBASIC directly in XP, rather that using DosBox to run QB? And, does DosBox/QB allow faster program running than QB/XP? I ask you, because I would have o start by getting DosBos up and running, and learning the ropes. So, it would certainly be much better if someone w...

MysticShadows: I tried DosBox some three years ago, and found it to be extremely slow for the graphics I was trying to run. As to running QB graphics in XP, there are many folk who report no problem, while others have had problems, me included. dkobayas: Today, using QuickBASIC 4.5 under Windows XP,...

W1nt0p: The thought of offense never entered my mind! And, I certainly agree that you are doing a good job. I just thought talking about paths might confuse the OP even further. Perhaps addressing the person you are referring to would have not brought on my request to you and Seth. I thought youwere...

Win10p and Seb: PLEASE don't muddle the waters evern more for the OP, who is having beginner's problems. If we can just get hem going on his one problem, not being able to compile a program, he will be 100% the better for it. He is having problems understanding what we would think is a simple thing,...

MilesAway1980: I remember you had a problem with tiles hitting theedges and creating errors. Have been thinking on that problem, and have a solution. Just use the DRAW statement for your tiles. For instance, in your snipet, the castle has no problem disappearing gently into the edges, nor does the b...
