True, with the convenience and ease of use of Game Maker you sacrifice a little bit in raw power as compared to writing it from scratch in a conventional language. But then again, Game Maker is still fairly powerful, and has a great scripting language for times when you need as much flexibility as p...

My new FreeBASIC game: FB-Snarl
Hi everyone. Just completed a small project in FreeBASIC, a game called FB-Snarl. Basically the objective is to find your way through "mazes" (it's not the best maze algorithm, but I can't think of any other word to describe what they are) and collect points. Not intended to be a big produ...

Well, Lord knows I did hear my fair share of games on the Apple ][ that really did some fancy things with audio and stretched the limit of what could be done with that little thing. And yeah, I played a little bit with Music Construction Set back then. That was before I really knew anything about mu...

I remember years ago when I wanted to get Applesoft BASIC to generate polyphony, that is, more than one note at a time. I even wrote in to some magazine to ask for help. Needless to say, it was a little out of my league, as it required advanced assembly techniques. The first program I ever typed in ...

is it a much different programming language from QB? Hi floogle11. Have you been working with FB much since you started this thread? As you may or may not know by now, FB is highly compatible with QB syntax. Still, you are not forced to use it in that manner -- you can write your code strictly to t...

I understand your passion for old hardware and keeping stuff alive. It's definitely a fun challenge to take something that a lot of people would otherwise consider useless or obsolete, and make it work or do something useful. Heck, I guess that's why we like to dabble in QB, isn't it? :wink: I'm not...

Re: Your right
I just wish I could understand what you know. Heh. I'm definitely flattered, but let me assure you, I don't know it all, and I learn all the time, just like you. :) To respond to one of your points, I know what you mean about how things come easier to your mind when you think of a programming probl...

Im Fearless. I doubt my chances but I really hope I can. Thanks for your input man. You made me feel like I know what Im talking about. Thats cool that you made a Game. What type of game was it? Was it hard to code? I think that it would be cool to use qbaisc as the codeing that links the computers...

It's basically a type of distributed computing in which your PC processes data and does calculations, then sends the completed work back to the organization doing the research (a lot of it has to do with protein folding and fighting diseases, but I don't know enough about biology to provide an expla...

Well, I had tried to learn to program in C++ but it sooooooo weird not have any restriction. I highly value my exposure to C and C++. I think it was a good learning experience. Nevertheless, in my opinion it definitely is one of those languages that can get pretty insane the deeper you go into it. ...
