He did have a question!

This is how I usually organize my graphics... EDIT: I forgot something in the code. imagedata: label REM Graphics data example by Bongomeno REM Create and load image... DIM image(10, 10) RESTORE imagedata FOR ry = 0 TO 9 FOR rx = 0 TO 9 READ image(rx, ry) NEXT rx NEXT ry REM Display image... LET xpo...

ummm.... Im sorry, but your site is HARD TO READ! I have seen it before and gave up on it really fast.

My advice would be to change the colors to something more eye friendly.

The background and text should always be light on dark or dark on light.

hmmm, i kinda like that. I might have to try that if its not too complex.

Also, UPDATE!!

Version 4
(I put all 4 versions in this)

*** note: READ THE README FILE ***

geekbasic.webs.com/DREAM16.zip

Here is a screenshot of version 3:


I should be releasing version 4 later today...

I have just COMPLETELY rewrote DREAM16 OS for the better! It features all of, but no only the following: - moveable and closeable multi-size windows - moveable desktop icons - desktop icons can do a number of tasks including running apps - password (optional) - several applications including a TINY ...

i lolled.
Thanks for the post anyways! I will use this if it works with true dos, otherwise I will have to write my own routine.

Wel, I am creating this mainly for practice as well as for personal use. Also I am including a special exit option for Windows users that does not shut down the computer, but simply exits. It is coming along quite well (for my 1st OS). I just got done adding new features, like the ability to drag ic...

My GUI is meant to run on a DOS machine or a 95 in DOS mode. This code will be placed at the part of the gui that saves its user made settings and shuts down. As long as it works in true DOS, it is perfect. I will create a break key or something that shuts down the GUI for people trying it in Windows.

perfect! thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to turn off the computer... lol

Hello my fellow geeks! I am here to show you my latest program. I was messing around with some Qbasic GUIs last night and it kind of inspired me. I have always been amazed by Qbasic GUIs, so I thought I would make one! I have never made a GUI in Qbasic before or even used the mouse in my programs so...

Also, is there a way that I can read how much memory my computer has left and how much it has total? I want to create like a meter or status bar

Does anybody have any assembly code that can be used to shut down the computer?

I am creating a mouse driven GUI called DREAM16 OS (which I will post about later) that needs this for its turn off computer option.

I will compile the code and load it from a DATA statement.

thanks.

I know that this thread is old, but I think I should say this.

My friend still had the program and gave it to me, so I posted it on my website. www.geekbasic.webs.com

I thought I should say this just in case someone passing by wanted to check it out.

'ancient' Qb 1.1 should be just as capable of doing this as 4.5, but 4.5 has more features such as compiling programs and using the command line with them. Qb45 works fine for me under windows XP as I use it all the time for ompiling my code. I still prefer to do my coding in 11 because it is simple...

this cool lil program is addicting!

Thanks!

I would actually prefer to be learning 6502 or z80 asm rather than x86, but it seems easier for now.
