Err... First of all, I find it ironic that you ask for credit when you've got a crippled version of SetVideoSeg in there with no mention of the original author. And secondly, you're still only poking one byte at a time. SuperPut is definitely faster. Now I suppose we'll get into a debate about what...

Or you could, if you knew circuit board logic, hard-wire the program onto your mother board.
That might be a little over the top but, I can never tell

I'm trying to upload a program to the d/l sections but, it's saying information isn't correct, blah....blah....blah....!!!

if berths and 1 then
berth = (berth + or - 1)
else

In QB, you must either spend twice the amount of memory using the original sprite, and its mask, or write your own custom sprite routine. Usually the custom routine is slower but saves the memory, so its up to the programmer which is more benificial. In a few days when I dig it up and maybe make a f...

....Yes, good point! I always used ... DO:LOOP UNTIL TIMER<>TIMER Cya, Nemesis I think I get the idea of your code, and it's very clever. But I have a doubt about how the code works on a fast PC. TIMER ticks of 1/18 of a second are slow. If a fast PC can access TIMER twice very fast, thus always ge...

Just in case you're concerned with the accuracy of sampling the TIMER, you might consider synchronizing to the TIMER before you start your actual TIMER sampling loop, using the following: Synch! = TIMER 'synchronize to TIMER DO Start! = TIMER LOOP WHILE Start! = Synch! The PC's system time is updat...

No, I haven't forgotten about the Y2K bug...

I've used GET/PUT buffers of over 200mb in size without problems in FB Wow, I wasn't aware FB could handle memory sizes like that! I'm anxious to experience FB for myself but, frankly I don't need all that power since I can pull off feats like that with QB. (Let me highlight the word " like&qu...

Yeah, I like the mouse control, drag -n- drop game pieces movement, and stuff... Anyways, with this build I found a few minor errors and all which will be corrected in the next build, and ofcourse some other feature like AI :twisted: Thanx for the replies, and the next D/L will be available maybe th...

Take a look at my Stratego clone, Strategq! Still need to add scripts to the mouse-window type GUI, and insert the computer's AI engine, and all it's graphical behaviors ... SPECIAL FX, and total user customination. So this basically means it's not close to completion, heh Anyways, check it out if y...

Flickering might have stopped on your monitor but, it might not work
so well on others...
Not sure though, just a guess.
To stop flicker use a double buffering technique.
If you don't know what that is or how to do it then, just ask

CYA!

Pete, regarding that floor-mapping tutorial DarkDread mentioned, that Eclipzer wrote. I beleive I have it somwhere on an old HD. I'd have to reconnect it, and browse thorough it, but I know it's in there somewhere. So, if you're intrested, I will find the time to atleast search for it. But I'm not g...

Could anyone tell me how to edit your uploads? I need to remove the oldest two uploads I posted in the Downloads>Game Engines>QuestKit.zip Sorry, I don't know if there's an edit feature, I didn't see one, so I couldn't remove the first two:( I had problems uploading the first time, and then the seco...
