Hi, Im new to the forum and I am just starting out in qbasic as a hobby. I am not asking for any code I just would like to know what chapters in my qbasic book I should read first when I have nothing to do and want to increase my programming potential.
I know some of the basics but what should I study in first when creating a simple text based game?

Thanks for all the help

A book may help you especially if it has examples to try. QBasic Help is available in the IDE, but the descriptions are sometimes complicated.

Try my Q-Basics Demonstrator link below. Unzip to the Qbasic folder you should have made already. The program shows how statements and functions work with example code. Also a good referance when programming. The code is free to use. All module chapters can be read in Notepad too.
