Re: Small BASIC
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 ...

Re: Columns in QB - Release
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

Re: New Qbasic Christmas Game: Santa's Delivery Rush
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...

Re: New Qbasic Christmas Game: Santa's Delivery Rush
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...

Re: Columns in QB - Release
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...

Re: WorDOSle -- Wordle for DOS made in QB!
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...

Re: File search in QB without crash
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...

Re: I Left The JOKE! Forum https://www.qb64.org/forum By Anthony.R.Brown
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, ...

Microsoft released a modern Qbasic for Windows 10
Not sure if this was mentioned, but it looks like Microsoft released a version of Qbasic for Windows 10. From the screen shots, it looks like the IDE is a modified version of VS Code. I don't currently own a Windows 10 computer to try it out but could be useful for someone on Windows 10 that doesn't...

Re: properly formatting asm code to make it QB ready
I'd probably write something in python or perl that took the output from od and formatted it correctly to paste into the qb program. Probably could also use a straight bash script but I'm not really familiar with od so I'm not sure how much parsing of the output you need to do and it might just be e...

Re: Qbasic SHELL command and environment limit
Are you getting "Out of environment space" error messages with the set command in your batch file? You can bump that size up in the config.sys at the expense of losing some conventional RAM by adding something like this: SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /e:2049 /p I haven't tried in DOSBox but it work...
