Pete's QBASIC Site

I finally got a new video card for my PC, as two months ago my old one fryed. A good ol' GeForce 5500GT it was, with 128 megabytes of memory. Not great, but free. Then, as I was plugging in my MP3 player in the USB port, around my surge protecter, my elbow bumped the switch just enough for it to tur...

New release! Changelog - Now uses page flipping with two pages Supports much more versitile maps and "tilesets" (check readme.txt) Default map is slightly less boring Comes with compiled source code for linux and windows -- tested on both. Check readme.txt and you can make your own maps wi...

Pete... I was about to go to bed then I though "I'll wait another hour and if by some off-chance QBXP is out, I will stay up as late as it takes to read it." And here I am, and hour later. Perfect timing. I read two sentances in the description before posting this, and I keep making a ton ...

Z!re:

While I was writing my reply, I was asking myself why freebasic didn't do that on its own during compilation.

Thanks Robot - my new version (I had it written on Monday) does use page flipping and I was unaware that FB supported bitshifting, as I remember Seb had some major issues with bitshifting in QB.

I honestly am not sure as to what I am going to make of it. Mostly I plan of a RPG engine that can create a whole new game (well, almost) with just a loadmap(map2938.dat). It is going to be completely configureable from outside files. I once read a tutorial that stated you only have to make 1 engine...

This is the very first engine I ever made, in QB/QBASIC or FreeBASIC, that uses p*p scrolling. I must say, I am very proud. The code is short, sweet, and too the point, but most of all -- organized. A very good learning source (although it is currently uncommented). This zip contains source code, .b...

When you've been hanging around the linux/open-source community a lot, source can only mean one thing

Source?

I wish I could make an mmorpg! Yeah right!

I am NOT good at managing large programs, but I want a small program that I can add on to. I need an idea! Anything, stupid and useless or dreadfully useful. A game... anything. I need *something* to do this summer!

I'd say the walk-in closet would be the best, but you'd have to put a light that is controlled on the inside in there (duct tape = easy).

Pete, I think you're doing a great job with QBE. There are those of us who sincerely appreciate all your efforts and contributions to the editing of the magazine, and we are not concerned with a few days or weeks delay. "Good things come to those who wait". I completely agree with moneo I...

Pete is very busy - college classes, TV productions, his job(s?), and his personal life.

I am sure he is working very hard, but you need to give the man some time.

Sorry pete, I would write a tutorial... but I am working at so many camps this month it's impossable. I'm lucky to be on the computer right now.

It should be 01/10/11 or any date, ever, with just zeros and ones.

We don't need a forum itself, but we need people who know the history of QB.

I do not agree. A colored box, actually, does make it easier on my eyes to raed the code, whether or not it is indented... I didn't want to start a fight, it's just a good habit to get into. It also helps me know when it's code...

You know, I would like a history of the qmunity too. As I type this, I feel like I'm 9 again, first learning QBASiC, unaware of the qmunity. There are sooo many things that I want to know. What happened to WisdomDude? How was his relation with Pete? What made Relsoft so famous. Was it RelLib, or oth...
