Pete's QBASIC Site

60k!

FreeBASIC is evil and cheap cause' you have to work harder to use QB. This makes QB more of a joy to program instead of sleezing your way out and taking the easy road

Id advise splitting it up: a routine that draws a window, a routine that creates a window, one that handles all the things about those windows I would say that you should toss QB's standard colors and create a palette of your own. Also if you can, make it so windows ONLY GET UPDATED IF THEY HAVE TO!...

ewww, toss the numberlines

Ive filled it out too!

I have another suggestion, give making your own engine a shot. Id love to help if you need it.

JA! FreeBASIC ist sehr shlect und blod!

Howdy partner, hold your horses till QB Express 14(the site magazine) comes out. There will be a nice reference in there about sprite FX that should really help you spice up your game! Good luck!

DANM SPAM!!!! That sucks, sorry Pete. There's gotta be another way around it... Cant you just delete all the spam posts in the forums?

All my Classes are really bogging me down so I havent found time to work on my tutorial. Im trying as hard as I can to get it done. Looks like ill be pullin' some over-nighters on weekends! Oh yeah and to get whoever's exicted drooling, Im writing examples for every topic. So that means there are 9 ...

QB!!! NOT FB! AND I MEAN 16 x 16! 256 colors and nothing else! I like
the old style graphics. Im not sure what else I can fit into screen 13 gfx. I could always use VESA modes but they're really slow for drawing things
pixel by pixel.

I have a question for all you artists out there, Ive been trying to
draw a skeleton thats 16 x 16. I just cant get it to look right cause' there
are too many bones and features to draw and I cant stuff it into 16 x 16
pixels. Does anybody know a way around this problem?

Im 14. Been codin' for 3 years. Started when I made a bet with some kid
that I could program better than him when Id never even seen QB before.
And I just got hooked!

My 2 favorite subs! DIM SHARED RCol%, GCol%, BCol% SCREEN 13 SUB PutRGB(col%) OUT &H3C8, col% OUT &H3C9, RCol% OUT &H3C9, GCol% OUT &H3C9, BCol% END SUB SUB GetRGB(col%) OUT &H3C7, col% RCol% = INP(&H3C9) GCol% = INP(&H3C9) BCol% = INP(&H3C9) END SUB I use these puppi...

Thats weird cause I get none.

Ive reached 50 k!

But I mean that you can dig around deep in windows and do things you cant do with other OS's. There also lies a drawback in this feature, its asking to be virused!

Pete, Ive been typing a MONSTER sprite effects tutorial that covers all sorts of cool stuff including alphablending, vertex rotation, masking, particles, gamma effects, scaling, and tons more! It's set up more like a reference than a tutorial and it currently is 28 k long and Ive only covered transl...

Okey pokey, now take a look at the pic on the left. That background cant be pink if your doing a mask, the background needs to be black(QB color 0). Now for the pic on the right, that grey background needs to be white(QB color 15) and all the main pixels, the colored ones that is, need to be black. ...
