Pete's QBASIC Site

yep me too...im old...and my programs all are texted based so
far....have'nt made the graphics jump yet...

the mouse did not always work when i ran it
F2 did not work at all....

otherwise it worked okay

is there somewhere to go or someone out there that wants to make me some simple ascii menus...you'll go in the credits of the program there are 3 of us so far... sorry i'm a horrible artist...and need help on something like that... there is an enterence menu where i ask about add/edit/delete things ...

what do you have problems with the most...

if "OTHER" explain...


for me its logic

does anyone know where an example of a database program
made in qb is? to look at it for examples of input, search
edit?

so if i dont use subroutines and only use gotos will that work at all? IE goto blablah $$$: on error goto bleep? code code code code . . . . end bleep print err code end thanks mystik... everytime i use your help i've been adding you to my credits for each program as a thank you if you dont mind..

for the best effect where should the on error goto statement be?
after every input statement? or at the very end of the program...

another noob question.. i've found over the last few weeks dozens of programs that were released as "finished" and mostly in *.exe form but some in *.BAS form... 3/4 of the time they just dont work i get a number of errors even though they were relesed as finished...why is that?.. stuff li...

noob question... okay i still aint ready for the next level i'll still be a text mode person for a bit but i see all this stuff about libraries.... what do they do? and how do you use them? is it something where its a cut and paste code from the library into your program? or something more involved....

just looking back over time i was surmising on what it was like during the qbasic hey days... THEN: considering some form of basic was part of college courses i'd say there were probably a few million "ACTIVE" programmers/users out there for qb stuff.. NOW: after going over the web and che...

i dont think i found anyone who did this...i was trying this last year and gave up...but then i seen challenge 10 on petes site and gave it another try...took me about 5 hours.... i had to do most of the work fixing the english word list i was using it was filled with errors, spaces, comma's that ke...

depending on how much output you expect you could use
sleep 1
sleep 2

between prints...

i would use above puase function

if its a qbasic bbs it can be done i have it in my i wanna do project list... you can make a dialer too to call your bbs you'll have to be real good at qbasic find some qbasic modem routines...there are some on a qbasic site i remember seeing them somewhere.... it wont be a fast bbs 19000 baud tops....
