Pete's QBASIC Site

Well, i re-thinked about this qb dying thing. Somehow i believe that as long peoples makes ascii games, qb wont die. There is some thing?s on qb that im gona use, not many but still something. So kind of, it?s not really dead? Well, this is what i wana believe.

...the QB side will likely be archived and no longer updated since there are so few active QB programmers anymore and almost no new announced game projects... Sad but true. I just find qb again but seems like it?s dying. Well, i have also problems with those limits of qb and im considering to move ...

Hi and welcome. Im pretty new here too but i can tell that these mates here are great. (most of time)

Ok. I know how to save simple array and so on.

But saving Array(125, 125) + Array2(125, 125) on same file seems too hard for me. And of course, loading em from there too.

Is there anyway to do it?

I checked that #bad-logic on efnet. Hmm... it was empty totally. Propaply some server errors etc.

Im missing some channel where can chat and ask, you were n00b or leet. Doesnt matter.

Btw, is it probably or propably or propaply?

Ok, i have created a map on Screen 0:Width 80,50 After creating i want to save in on OldMap and colors are stored on OldMapC. OldMap & OldMapC are dimmed and so on... --- Code --- SUB Readmap FOR i = 1 TO 48 FOR i2 = 1 TO 78 OldMap(i, i2) = SCREEN(i, i2) OldMapC(i, i2) = SCREEN(i, i2, 1) NEXT NE...

#quickbasic on Efnet has always been the first and foremost QB channel, but now most of the people that hang out in that channel don't actually program QB. Still, it's a very popular channel, and there are a lot of (former) QB programmers there. Yeah, i have checked it few times and seems like no q...

Yeah, well, i dumped that bsave and load anyway. Ill read screen different way now.

' Start Screen 12 : Width 80,60 Locate 10,10:Print "Something funny should happen" DefSeg = 0xA000 Bsave "Something.tmp", 0 , 9600 Sleep 2 Cls Bload "Something.tmp",0 Sleep 2 ' End "Expected:expression or end of statement"? [edit] Forget this. Ill use screen 0...

Yeah, that worked. I didnt use that .qlb and it worked fine after that.

Thx mate.

Ok. I run qb.exe with no parameters. Ill type example like this. ---Code--- SUB Colors For i = 1 to 255 Color i Locate 1,1: Print i Sleep 1 Next END SUB ---End of code--- Ill save this as a "Colors.bas" and make it as a library with qb?s own way. "Make library" and name it as &qu...

Yeah, that helped me a lot. I made my own way but it aint this easy
Thanks man.

I have been offline somewhile...gee it was hard time

Nathan. i coded with basic before even you were born. Sorry if i was gone like a years...

Ok, i checked it. Looks nice and i love that ascii theme

Yah, i ment ascii?s In my country we usually talk about text-based.

What?s Pure-text?

I have surfed in several sites and one question has founded allmost everywhere. "I wana make text-based game. How i can know can my player move to x,y position or is there some wall etc...?" Also my self have been some problems with "simple" things. Loading and saving on file was...

Intel 1600mhz, 516 megs ram(133mhz) and win xp.

Dfn rolled numbers a bit under 300000.

That sounds cool. Maybe it?s the hurry what makes peoples do that...or need to make small as possible code in game?
