You could rewrite the file shifting the text to another ASCII symbol if it is not something critical. I did that for a game I made by adding 30 to the ASC value into CHR$ and printing it into the file so a user would not cheat with famous quotes in a Crypto game. Another way to do it is to actually...

OK I would like to know if it's possible to Password protect an external DATA File ? I am running a Program in real time and the program reads and writes to the external file which is in the form of a .txt File,so maybe it can be a different type of File if the first method does not work ? The Passw...

It is a Program I have been working on and off since 23/02/2002 (that long!) :(

Hi Everyone

I left The JOKE! Forum https://www.qb64.org/forum because they got rid of the Off Topic Thread Completely! ???
Plus there was a lot of in House Arguing regarding the best way to run Program Competitions Etc.
How do others feel about the Forum ?

I think Galleon's Ghost!...should be made Honourable Member!

Stxaxtic, I wondered the same thing. I knew I should of took a screen shot of that post. But, as I mentioned in a previous post, I was on the QB64 forum when it went down. First, the database on the server died and I received a "Database Not Found" error. I was able to go the main page wh...

The MAX 60000 Characters Stops me Posting My Program!??

Anthony, I do wonder what happened. If I hadn't been on the QB64 forum when it went down, I would of thought Galleon pulled the plug. But, while I was on there, it appeared the database crashed first. All of the sudden, I received a database not found error. I was able to go to the main page, but t...

Here's one that doesn't use the built-in RND generator. It's based on the XOR shift method. DECLARE SUB initrandom () DECLARE FUNCTION rand& () DIM SHARED x AS LONG, y AS LONG, z AS LONG, w AS LONG SUB initrandom x = 123456789 y = 362436069 z = 521288629 w = 88675123 END SUB FUNCTION rand& ...

Yes! the QB64 Site is down! ? it has been for Days! has it finally bit the Dust!

Hi...

Does anyone know what the Best Random Number Generator is ?

As an Example how can the Simple one below be improved!

RANDOMIZE TIMER
RNDTEST = INT(RND * 1000) + 1
IF (RNDTEST < 500) THEN RESULT = RNDTEST
IF (RNDTEST => 500) THEN RESULT = RNDTEST
PRINT : PRINT
PRINT RESULT

Assign the 52 cards numbers in your program. Each number can be used in the real card image file name and they can be chosen from an array randomly, shuffled etc. If someone picks 26 red cards randomly out of 52 then they are very lucky. The odds are a lot higher than 50%! If someone picks 26 red c...

Hi...

Any thoughts on some Best ways to Pick Red & Black Cards Correct from a Real Pack of (52) Cards! ?

If someone Picks All the same Colour then they must Score 50% (26) Correct...So that's the Starting amount to try and Beat!
