Pete's QBASIC Site

I was thinking about QB's style of graphics. A four bit variable would work well with 16 colors, and a single bit for monochrome. But stability should come first.

How about small variables? Maybe variables using only a handful of bits? I don't know if it's possible, but a single-bit flag variable could be useful.
Or a four bit variable can be used for a range of 0-15, which also has uses. Just a suggestion, for lite variables.

Maybe use " | " instead?

It must be the y's. They're everywhere!

Well, something happens. I opened an executable in notepad, saved it as .txt, then resaved it as an .exe . Then it did the same thing as the unaltered version. Which was to print "Hello world", though I forgot to add "sleep". And I guess these headers aren't the same as MS Word h...

I made a little text file in notepad that just showed a 4*4 * 4*4 matrix multiplication. Bored and rather curious, I resaved the file as an .EXE . So I ran it (yes, it did run), though it did nothing. My question is can I make the new executable do anything (besides blink a cursor) just by using not...

Burger, it's a simulation . Duh. 8) And as for the cells themselves, they can be grouped into age-type. There're millions (billions?) of red blood cells that are the same age and will die at the same time (roughly), so you process that group. Then when the group dies, there'll be a new batch of same...

Or group the same states into one state. So it's no good to waste cycles and bits on a couple million states that all have, say, 100 seconds. You can have the computer manually group them (through linked lists), though you probably won't have a lot of working room for the computer to keep track. May...

Use allocate? But there's a limit on memory, not to mention the computer's own limitations. Is this for the LHC? :D It sounds ridiculus, but so was 103% of math and science at any point in time. So, load up a chunk (a couple gross or so megabytes at a time), process it (whatever you're doing), get r...

It's pretty good. But I think it could use better menus, and be a bit more flexible, though that would be fairly hard and not worth the work to just answer a handful of problems. Here's a simple trick for making a scrolling menu: code: ----------------------------------------------------- DO key$ = ...

Thanks.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Iron3d/ In case you haven't noticed the adjustment in my signature. It pretty much for discusion and helping others on game design, especially 3D. Currently I have one member (me). Both QB and FB is welcome. And here I wouldn't mind some advise on how to manage a s...

It is still possible to make original QB games my friend. That being said, I've been making a pac-man clone .

Why do I have the ever so slightest feeling that you guys don't like scientoligists? It takes much discipline for the scientologists to keep a straight face.

Knowing FB does help. I'm taking a QB course now (Well, not today, but Tuesdays and Thursdays). But I can only use what we have gone over in the book, which can be kind of painful when I can solve the problem faster with a loop. But what we do go over is still review for me. And thanks to FreeBASIC,...

I've almost finished a new tutorial for #27. Should I send it in a zip file with the source code or should I throw in the source code into the document?

[edit] Finished.

Okay, who hasn't? I hounded FreeBasic.net, Y!A, and here too. And I'm by far not alone.

Maybe DaveUnit feels that his question was answered well enough and he gave his thanks, or he doesn't have the time yet.

Regardless of Microsoft's wording, in here UDT is generally assumed to be a special kind of proto|quasi-class.
