The reference to six months meant the time it would take Stoves to get fed up with it. I packed up FB after two months but that was a long time ago. Now I will hand back to Nodtveidt as the troublemaker because I have made my point and am getting fed up with this stupid argument. I guess I'm confus...

Yeah, if it's an issue with code, maybe you can post the code that's giving you problems. I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but you might be able to use a DO/LOOP to return to your choices if it's a menu in your program. DO 'Code that display's menu and gets user input. SELECT CASE us...

Yeah, it would definitely be nice to just copy and paste from QB to FB and be able to immediately start running the program. If it used to be that way, and FB code has been changed over time so that FB is no-longer that backwards compatible, then I take your point. However, I was never under the imp...

What kind of changes to FB are you trying to avoid? I'm very new to FB, and so far I like the new capabilities. Even though there's a lot of tedious changes I've had to make to several QB programs to make them run in FB, I've been fairly pleased with the backwards-compatibility so far. Are there a n...

Mystik beat me to it, but here's my less adequate answer... Decide the purpose of your language: creating images, scanning websites for data, processing and organizing data, etc. Choose what to implement your language in: ASM, C, etc. (even QBasic) Come up with a list of commands and operators: IF, ...

Here's your code revamped to use TIMER to move the enemy after a set amount of time. Change the whenToMoveEnemy variable to anything .01 seconds or more to set the time between enemy movements. You'll notice there was a need to add another timer-related variable to make this work right. The first va...

Well, no tutorial is perfect, because people tend to learn a little differently, but if you keep doing what you're doing - reading the tutorials and practicing implementing the code, you shouldn't have too much trouble catching on quickly.

Pete's Qb site and the other sites i linked have all you'll need in the area of reference materials to get started. The key will be deciding on specific projects that interest you. Necessity is tr...
