Pete's QBASIC Site

How did you guys get so good at QBasic?

Practice. Lots of practice!

Thanks.

well obviously practice, but to become a great programmer you have to enjoy it (or be addicted like me ).

I didn't

Thirty-some years ago I got so involved in playing around in BASIC that I flunked out of college. Maybe that isn't the best example.

i failed the 10th grade cuz of BASIC........ lol (and maby my Atari too)

I loved to use QBasic 4.5 a while ago but I decided to use python and pygame instead. But now I miss my old QBasic games, so-- I'm trying to translate them into python and pygame.

I finally translated one of my favorite QBasic games into python and pygame!
Thanks to Max Hunt and whoever else kindly made the "Basic BootCamp.zip"! With it I was able to find a missing library so that I could use InterruptX along with a QB program (by Michael Webster) that stores a SCREEN 13 image as a Windows BMP file. (So I was able to translate screen 13 colors into an RGB bmp file that could be easily be read by pygame)

The python version isn't exactly the same as the QBasic 4.5 version . . .
But at least now I can play it on most up-to-date computers.

I would just like to say thanks to Pete and all other QBasic programmers who have indirectly helped me restore one of my favorite QBasic games.

Thank you all very much! :)

I have code to save SCREEN 12 (4BPP) or 13(8 BPP) to a bitmap if you need it.
You can use it in any QB program to take a screenshot of a game or program too.

The Screen 12 SUB is in my Demonstrator program linked below. Qbasic9.bas
All BAS files are text readable.
