Oh right, in graphics mode, you can't have windows graphics applications in QB because of the dos part of it. it won't let you. my trick would work if you were making a screen 0 program too, not just in edit mode...but as soon as you're in graphics, you're in full screen mode.

You should be able to return to windowed mode by pressing the following combination of keys.

ALT + Enter (return whatever it's called on your keyboard).

This is a toggle as in press it once it returns to windowed mode, press it again it goes back to full screen mode, etc etc. :-)

Hope this helps.

I think you can Mac...besides CONFIGURATION-SECTION is an optional one since COBOL 85.

I think it was a descriptive piece of information hence, could have any name.

I didn't even know about that ;-)....Zork and those types of game, hard to say how they're doing today per se. It would be fun if it did though. Might teach those big 3D game makers a thing or two about what "should" be in a good game. They got the graphics, sure, but sometimes, the story ...

DOn't judge a post by it's title ;-).

This one was genuine. He/She showed he worked on it, had code, everything. Hence as a mod, I saw no reason to remove it.

An array in a user defined type, of this size, isn't always a good idea...when you think about it: 320x480x4 (4 bytes for an integer variable) is about 613Kb in size. That's alot for QB to handle. It depends on what exactly you want to do with that user defined type. My first suggestion would be to ...

I voted for wireframe as well. :-) I want one of those hehe....

like Pete said though, a physics engine would be a good idea. But I'm trying to be selfish here and push the wireframe one forward. hehe
