Pete's QBASIC Site

Thank you very much for the help.

If you send me email at qbnovice@hushmail" target="_blank, it will kick back. The correct email is now qb64novice@hushmail.com" target="_blank" target="_blank. I have tried several times to change it on the User Control Panel but it just keeps going back to the incorrec...

Well here I am again with another endeavor. It's another exercise in trivia but with different questions. I gave up on the sound effects - for the present anyway. This time I tried to be more compact on my coding. For example, instead of repeating the same long request for input, I put the request i...

THANK YOU.

This program generates a number from two through twelve, simulating the roll of dice. You get to guess the number rolled; get it right and you can try again. Miss it ten times in a row and the game is over. The program starts by popping up "ROLL THE DICE" one letter at a time but the way ...

You could use a colon to combine commands in the IF statement too: wrong: IF sound$ = "n" THEN LOCATE 22, 22: PRINT "You have the sound turned off."; : RETURN BEEP BEEP RETURN This is the format I initially had except with the 1st return in a separate line, and the sound wouldn'...

If you are getting sounds it probably has something to do with the calling procedures enabling the GOSUB procedures. My thanks to burger227 for the help. My problem was in my GOSUB procedures. I changed my formatting from this: wrong: IF sound$ = "n" THEN LOCATE 22, 22: PRINT "You ha...

I'm not sure what you mean by your comment.

Burger. Thanks for the input. I've switched to a desktop and I seem to have non-BASIC programming problems with it. I'll go back to the laptop I wrote the program on and check it out. I'll get back to you.
Those are the only two sounds I've tried.

Here I am again. Remember my previous post about the annoying sound in the program? I've tried and tried to modify it so a user can turn the sounds off, but to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions? Here's a copy/paste of just the sound subroutines. You can download the entire program at my website: ht...

That should be a thank you to burger2227.

Is it annoying on purpose or does it have a problem? Do you have a problem?

No, it is not annoying on purpose. Some folks just might like the sounds.

The program does not have a problem.

I do not have a problem.

Thanks for the interest, Garry.

Well here is my latest attempt, in QB 64. It's a 15 question trivia quiz, with (annoying?) sound. How about heading over to my website at http://quickbasic64.weebly.com/ and checking it out?

(Gary, I used your template concept on this one.)

Thanks Gary. I hadn't thought about that template/foundation concept.

OK, here I am again with another endeavor. This time it's a program that asks a series of questions on mathematics and then calculates what percentage you got correct. I originally wrote it in QB 45 and then tried it in QB 64; it worked just fine. I did have to add a _FULLSCREEN _STRETCH command at ...

I appreciate your comments, Gary, both here and in my website. I checked out your website also and find it to be quite interesting. I downloaded and ran your math1.bas. It ran on QB 4.5 fairly well. Personally, I did not like the use of sounds. For me it distracts from the goal of learning Math. But...

Thanks for the suggestion about Dropbox. I'd heard of it but never tried it. I appreciate your offer to send me an invite to there.

If you want to, you can go to my website (see www link below) where you'll find both the code and a downloadable .bas file.

Burger2227, Thanks for clarifying about the BB Button. That part worked just fine but I have hit a snag on trying to post a reply with the code included. Short comments, such as this one, post fine but when I add the code (6.6 KB of it) it will not post, or even preview. Is there a KB limit to the s...
