Pete's QBASIC Site

Oh.. I also don't want the piss poor excuse of setting the -lang qb switch on FB... I want real FB code to solve the problem, not the half broken excuse of using the cheat switch. If I'm going to program in a new language, that is obviously a lemon sitting next to an orange, QB to FB, I don't wanna ...

I'm hitting the glass ceiling with QB, and I was thinking of going either pure VB, or FB. I am starting to grasp the ins and outs of game programming in VB, but I would like to take a whack at FB, but I need some dumbing down of the new ways of doing things first. Example program DECLARE SUB DrawSpr...

I have one of those TI computers.. The power switch broke so I had to bust it open and find a replacement that would fit, almost.. , got it to work, then put the sucker back together.. I love the TI games, like the Lunar Lander and the Frogger clone,.. In Extended Basic as well too! o.o' how do you ...

This is too funny.. This thread should almost be made into a comic for the magazine..

XD

** falls over laughing **

What would be even more funny, was if Neo waited until Saturday mornings to do his missions..........

Kiyote!

If the Matrix was based on QBasic, from the 70's and 80's, we might have Neo running around in a Leisure Suit, and bell bottoms on Morpheous.. and Trinity wearing something quite different.. Leather yes, but probably brown leather instead, and more bling bling.. I could see Morpheous, Neo, and crew ...

If Qbasic was part of the Matrix, what would it look like? Would it be a person? or a place? or.. something else? or an Agent???

I wonder..

<.<

Oh crap.. squiddies all over the place.. gotta fly..

Divide your large number by a large numeric, 1000000000000000000, so that the number can fit inside of a Long-Int declaration. What you have to do to do this, is manually enter the decimal into the string, using string commands, then use the VAL expression to convert the over sized number into a Dou...

Whatever you want it to.. Well I'd try to program mine to predict the lottery,.. Ha.. Code one of these options. 1. Mind reading program -- your computer will know what you want to do and do it BEFORE you ask. 2. Voice Recognition progrom -- Talk to your computer, ask it out on a date, whatever floa...

Dang it.. I just got new dial up and also been insanely busy moving friends out of one house into another..

o.o

Let me see if I can slap together something useful in the next 30 minutes.. It's still 11:29PM here..

Kiyote!

You might want to try looking at the files using a Hex editor. That will let you see all the characters that are english. If you view it in a normal text editor, most likely the editor will run into an "" End Of File character and stop there, with the rest of the file not displayed. If you...

That has been coded already awhile ago. It was in an old old OLD Dos computer magazine. I fortunately went throught the trouble of writing it out by hand in a notebook in case my computer crashed. Which, it did. The Interrupt code is from the magazine, most of the other Functions were in a QBasic bo...

That is weird..

Kinda like a mix of a FNExpression and.. something..

Constructicons.. unite!

hahaha..

^~^

Thanks very much for the detailed info on how to use it. I may consider using it now that I know what it is.

If you are going to do support for multiple callers, (which is something I fear treading into..), you are going to have to take a page from a multiplayer game. You are going to have to constantly poll your COM ports, either 2 or 4, however you code, and read in data from your user, and run simultane...

you lost me at constructor..

isn't that a transformer toy?

constructor.. FB keyword??

Right,.. you are rotating every other point,.. so.. you wouldn't need to translate your stationary point, just every other point around it.. I finally found a stable version of Freebasic & an IDE editor combo that works together.. I'm going to start tinkering in 3D again I think.. ^o^ ._.' Freeb...

You have it out for me, and from what I've seen have it out for every other person who joins the forum. I don't CARE what you think of me, and don't care what you say about me. I don't have time to worry about you, I have much more important things to do. I am going to hereby post in the forum as mu...

When you want to rotate around a point, you have to translate, (add or subtract in x, y & z,) so that your point becomes 0,0,0, and the other points still have their relative positions but have been shifted accordingly. Now, when you apply the 3D rotation math to your points, every point that ne...

I treat you nicely no matter what you do and you continue to be degrading.. Please don't bug me anymore. I'll stay away from the forum unless I'm really tempted to post, but you have officially made yourself clear that you "own" the forum and are going to defend it from intruders,.. such a...

so what? At least the article is finalized once and for all, and anyone who is a n00b can read it. plus.. if i'm such the n00b and posting in expired forum questions.. why are you posting in them as well if they are expired? I found these articles to submit to on Pete's "what's new -- forum pos...
