QB Express #18
The January issue of QB Express is now available!

Even though the last issue came out a scant two weeks ago, this eighteenth QB Express is absolutely burgeoning with content. This month, Adigun A. Polack reviews YAGL (Yet Another Game Library) by marzec, QBasic.com's new webmaster Mark Wilhelm writes an article about his site, Xerol previews his game "Untank", Matt2Jones contributes something called "FREEBASIC [As in Free Speech AND Free Beer]." This month's gallery features Nekrophidius' "Black Satin" fighting game, Rattrapmax6 is back with another "QB Horse Humor" comic -- plus as always, we have all the QB/FB news briefs you can handle.

The Tutorials this month are really in a league of their own. Syn9 gives us "Tree Tutorial: Parts 3 and 4", Wallace teaches us how to use his Wallace Visual Editor, there's "True/False Testing" by Moneo, a tutorial on Picking with OpenGL by MGD, Rick Clark brings us "A Closer Look at Managing Complexity: Program Size and Organization", MystikShadows contributes "MIDI Programming Part 1: MIDI File Basics", and "Pointers in FreeBasic" by Eclipzer wraps up the tutorials this month. A mighty fine bunch indeed!

Read all this and more in QB Express #18!
