Pete's QBASIC Site

Anagram solver? Well for a N letter word there are N! permutations - far too many. I have written a similar program and the best approach is to search a dictionary file. First check is the length, then if the anagram and a dictionary word have the same length use INSTR to check the letters are all ...

I have an AMD processor, so it is an emulator to me. :lol: LONG LIVE THE SEMPRONZ!!!!!!!!!1111oneone11onehunderedeleven!!11 I have a sempron, and I love it. Powerful, 1.8 ghz, cool, and it was only $120USD. Much better than my laptop's 600mhz, my other PC's 500mhz, and my old laptop's 133mhz. Wow.....

He was using a UNIX/Linux editor. Source: http://members.aol.com/getmydata/pskb/Text-File-Format.htm Windows and DOS are terminated by both a Carriage Return and Line Feed. UNIX/Linux text editors terminate using a Line Feed. And, MACs terminate using a Carriage Return. Problems like this are the re...

Yeah, DOS and Windows XP don't mix. If I were you, I would try the Visual BASIC code that they gave on the site. Try using that.

To other peeps: Isn't there probably a FB equivalent to this code?

I notice a few things that stand out for me in this source code. First, DOS only supports 8 character filenames, so your C:\ photoboof \credits.txt won't work. You need to change the directory name to have less than 8 characters. Second, in the line that contains this line of code: OPEN "c:\pho...

I saw that Web Page question earlier and started messing around with GetNet and WGet ( they're both very nice :) ) But, I was wondering if there is a way to use these programs (or clones) in Pure DOS. Networking is good :) (in case your wondering, I wanna use it in my TUI.) Long story short: Dial-up...

If you have the programming ability to make a GUI, then you could use Future.Library to make a nice one. But without the programming skill, a library is almost useless.

Besides USB, Firewire, newer audio, and enhanced optical abilities (ex. CD-Burning), I have never had problems with QB. Of course, none of these have to do with my processor or chipset, so you should be fine

Never seen anything like it... Cool! Google is screwed up... Try Dogpile.

From the looks of this, you're using a statement similar to which will do that. There are a number of different solutions for this. But I think MystikShadows gave the easiest solution to it. Code?

Here's $2000 - Go buy yourself a nice video card. (or a new computer - your choice)

I have an idea for some small stuff you could write --- handy functions or subs. You could write and test out some of these for later use in your programs. Some examples: * Logic for proper generating of random numbers. * Logic for sorting arrays. * Logic for validating input numbers, with or witho...

Don't know... Test it and find out

koosh_alex, this is the song I'm looking for. Your play code may be the one I use if someone can't translate that one

You know what.... I have solutions for every problem, although you are probably getting annoyed at me

Go to http://www.freedos.org and get the full CD. Then, burn QBASIC onto it there. BAM! A bootable DOS with so many programs your head will spin. (The CD ISO image is 121MB or something similar)

http://people.jyu.fi/~eejuviik/utils/boot622.exe

That gives you a program to put DOS 6.22 on a floppy. It even comes with mouse drivers, CD-ROM drivers, and (best of all) QBASIC!

QBASIC won'r run?

Try a bootable DOS floppy with QBASIC on it... (6.22 IZ T3H R0XXX0R!)

THAT'S IT!

Now, is someone talented enough to make that into a PLAY code?

Look up the syntax for the WRITE and INPUT # commands. They are ideal for a save game (unless it really matters if some variables can be changed. WRITE saves files in plain text, making them easy to change.)
