I love you too Lachie!

LOL!

It would be a lot better to document your progress elsewhere until you get something that actually works. Then post the progress.

Then you need a good picture editing program. They can do the following: 1) Change any format of a picture as a bitmap (including ICOns) 2) Size the picture (may distort the image however) 3) Set the color palette referred to as BPP or bits per pixel. The palette must be 1 (B&W screens 12 or 13)...

OK, a timed SLEEP can allow the program to share the processor. Even with Windows. The best scenario would be to be in pure DOS. SCREEN 0 is probably the best option to run 2 QB programs at once. I saw the Euler project before, but I figured that it was a waste of time. Have you learned anything? If...

The bitmap palette needs 4 BPP for Screen 12. That gives you 16 colors. Photographs are poor, but cartoons or drawings look great. For photos you need to save as 8 BPP and use Screen 13. Max size is 320 X 200 in 13 or 640 X 480 in 12. BloadAny will BLOAD the file After it is created in the BSAVER or...

??? are you talking about? Until code is submitted by the original poster, do your coloring book!

NEVER TOSS CODE around bucco!

Sounds like a waste of time doing all of that. Especially when my routines make you look "smarter than a fourth grader". LOL

Screen 12 (4 BPP) is great for almost anything but photos.

Screen 13(8 BPP) is good for photographs, but reduce height to 83% in a BMP picture editor.

Pete made a place for the FB community and apparently nobody seems to care! All of my old enemies even left? No more fights about FB verses QB.

Priceless!

Now if only they had not banned half of the QB people at their own site. I'm German, but I can smell a Nazi far away........

Ted

Am I missing something here? The program apparently ran for a long time. Sounds better than sitting there waiting for answers!

I anticipated a SLEEP kind of answer, but once you start something, ya gotta finish it!

Ted

Look for my BSAVER, BMPCOLOR, and BLOADANY zip programs here: http://www.qbasicstation.com/index.php?c=p_member&filecat=2 You may need a picture or photo editor capable of converting files to bitmap files and convert palette settings to 1, 4, 8, or 24 BPP. 4 for Screen 12 or 13 color and 8 for S...

POST YOUR CODE if you want help!

Ted

You can place a semicolon and a colon between 2 Color Print statements: COLOR 10: PRINT "Hello"; : Color 12: PRINT " World" Or just place a semicolon at the end of the first PRINT statement and put another COLOR PRINT statement on the next code line. LOCATE could also be used for...

Change the keyboard routine to wait for a keypress. That can easily be done using an INKEY$ loop.
Using INP(60), all values over 128 are release codes only. INKEY$ is usually a better choice for simple menus.

Ted

Not sure here, but it is a well known tradition. I cannot say that the poster is looking to cheat, but if he does not post any code he has tried then he is just being lazy. That and the fact his post is in all capital letters, SCREAMS for help without any participation from him/her. Thanks for remov...

We don't do homework here! If a person cannot spend a little effort on their own, then the heck with them. We can help with code problems however. Posting code for a cheater is NOT acceptable on this or any other QB forum! DO NOT DO it again! You could be banned TMEE! Besides, your code is probably ...

There are several tutorials here on Assembly. You may want to get ahold of Nasm or another assembler program.

Ted

You can plot decimal values all you want with PSET, but INTEGERs are the only ones shown. Grahics functions plot Integer pixel positions. There is no such thing as half a pixel! Don't use STEP point anything for x. All you will see are the positive values anyhow! SIN may work for the y position, but...

We do not do homework, but if you post some of your code and have certain problems, we can help. To copy your code from QB, save the program code as text readable. Open the QB BAS file with Edit from the Right click mouse Menu. Should open in Notepad. Copy and paste to the post using the Your code b...

You probably forgot more than you knew by now. You seem to be a newbie at times and just FALL into stuff you have never had a clue about!

Like links that were highlighted one day and they are not marked later?

Making comments in QB w/o using REM or ' ? Give us all a break buddy

Ted

SHELL "DIR > Files.txt" for current directory or you need a path. You can later access the text file and it can be used as a string name. You can list them in a program and allow a selection from the files listed.
