Pete's QBASIC Site

Thanks!!

Looks like it's fixed now!

Thanks to whoever fixed it!

It looks like there's something going on with the forum. I'm seeing this error at the top of each page: phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/phpbb/db/driver/mysqli.php on line 264: mysqli_fetch_assoc(): Couldn't fetch mysqli_result [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/phpbb/db/driver/mysqli...

Oh! one last thing, bongomeno, I noticed your avatar is an Atari logo. My BBS server I'm writing should have Atari 8 bit support completed in the next release. It's mostly done and I've tested it locally with my Atari 800XL computer but haven't deployed it yet. Anyway, not sure if you have an Atari ...

Thanks for adding me as well! :) I wish I had the drive to fully finish the COBOL QB interpreter... it actually works shockingly well for text based applications in its current state. I sort of wrote it in defense to those who say COBOL is an un-learnable/bad language. It really isn't and it actuall...

Awesome! I really dig the name.
I added your link to my site's link page. (Let me know if you want me to take it off for whatever reason)

Never heard of it before today... I was surprised to see that it's been around for over a decade when I looked it up on Wikipedia. I was also surprised that you can write external libraries in C# and it can use them... that's sort of neat. I can't say I'm a fan of the 'EndFor' syntax instead of the ...

Hey Mike, I stumbled across this old remake of Columns in QB from 2001. It's not bad. Yours definitely seems to play better but it's interesting to see different people's take on the same source material. Here's a link if you haven't stumbled upon it yet: http://www.phatcode.net/downloads.php?id=117

Thanks Mike for the review! Really glad to hear your were able to make it through the full game and hopefully somewhat enjoyed it. The level finished jingle isn't purposely a different tempo. It's the same code executed each time, it's just using the QB built in "background" playing. I'm g...

Thanks!! Glad you like it. If it helps, one strategy I like to use is to sacrifice some of the presents to the enemies so there's less to deliver (though it hurts your score bonus at the end of the level). It especially helps on some later levels where there might be some tighter time limits. Edit: ...

Merry Christmas Everyone! I finally got around to finishing this game! The game has 25 levels + bonus levels with three difficulty settings. It also comes with a level editor, sprite editor, and an option to load user created levels. To run the game, extract the SDRUSHV1.ZIP contents to a new direct...

Thanks Pete!

Wow! This is some incredible work. That looks and plays fantastic! It's been many years since I last played Columns so I don't know if it's in the original but I did like the grace period when the column lands where you can quickly still switch the jewels around or slide it to the side. It was espe...

Nice job! I had a lot of fun with this game so far. I've never really played the original WORDLE game so this was new to me. :) I loaded it up on my IBM XT and ran it off a 360Kb floppy and then off the CF hard drive (MFM drive is sticking so I wasn't able to try that today... need to go in and manu...

Thanks Pete! Happy Belated Christmas to you too!

This looks awesome! I can't wait to try it out on my 486!

Hi All, 2023-01-06 Edit: Game finished! Fixed blending animation a bit from 12/24 release. New latest download is SDR101.ZIP A few years ago, I made Santa's Christmas Rescue . Which was a challenge I made for myself to create a Christmas themed game from December 1st to Christmas Day. This year, I d...

I tried searching the web too but wasn't able to find any working links for anything besides 2&3. I also checked all my stuff that I have on my computer and I don't have a copy of it. (Unless it's floating around on an old hard drive I have stacked away). Closest thing I could find was his YouTu...

What if you cached your directory "database" array to a file? That way you could write chunks of it to disk before it hits the max string space. For example, say the full directory structure will take 2.5x the max string space, once you get close to maxing it out, flush that data to a file...

I just realized I mis-read your original question. I thought you were asking how we feel about this forum instead of QB64's. I've never actually used the QB64 forum before and only recently tried the QB64 IDE itself out for the first time. I still just use QB 4.5 and DOS. From what I saw with QB64, ...
