...Thought maybe someone would be interested in checking out what we've been able to come up with. Nice! I looked at some youtube videos of the Mazzaroth GUI and I love the isometric look.

I'm running SCREEN 13 with a custom palette. I'm storing all my "GET"ted data in txt files. My tile editor just GETs the data into an array and dumps that to the file. When a level loads up it simply loads up the appropriate files into the gfx tile array and the game PUTs them as needed. T...

Great idea, Ted!

I haven't tested it yet, but I have a question. Will this package continue to work as qb64 evolves, or will it need to be updated in the future?

i'm in the process of converting all three of my "editors" over to qb64, which has been painstaking to say the least. i havn't touched the project in a week because i needed a break from pulling out hair. the issue is in my extensive use of CALL ABSOLUTE style mouse input over the years. o...

don't we first have to define an array to store the GETted data in?

when I was using CALL ABSOLUTE to do interrupts (which was right until i found qb64 two weeks ago) i would simple turn off the cursor and draw my own at the mouse's x,y. it helps to have a small graphics array set aside to capture the background with a GET and then you PUT it back whenever the mouse...

Get the GAME working first.

The title screen should be one of the LAST things you do. Not because it's easiest or anything, just because your number one priority should be designing and testing the game engine itself. If the game is going to be modular with new levels being added, you might first start building a map editor wh...

I don't think AnOrange means to make it scroll. I'm thinking you want an area at the top of the screen that simply updates to display certain information. Like Burger said, you'll need to use the LOCATE and PRINT commands to place the data onscreen. Typically, you'd want to write a subroutine who's ...
