Pete's QBASIC Site

Read my other response about GOTO. But judging someone's coding technique is not our responsibility, nor is it ever wanted or even called for. Everyone codes differently, it's about as unique as our fingerprints. Judging someone's coding style is immoral enough, but outright insulting it is cause fo...

Perhaps you should learn your terminology. QB itself refers to additional sources as Modules . It refers to Subs and Function as ... well, as Subs and Functions. There should be zero confusion as to this. As for the Sub and Function thing regarding COMMON SHARED, of course you're right, just try put...

BMP loaders are more complicated than a couple of lines of code, so expect to see about 20 or so lines of code for a BMP loader. :D You gotta read the header, interpret certain parts of it, load the raster lines one by one, checking for padding bits, etc. But that's nothing...try a JPG loader some d...

Nah, I'm a pacifist these days. That's why I have a young virile and incredibly tough woman to do the dirty work now. Hell hath no fury like a pissed off Latina.

It's quite obvious that the program you're looking for is not installed. Ever considered installing it?

SADD is for String ADDress and isn't the solution here. The real problem here is that you're overwriting memory. First of all, you're BSAVEing 10000 bytes, and trying to load those 10000 bytes into a 202 byte array...that is assuming you're using Integer arrays (whicih you should be). You need to sa...

Indeed, VB6 all the way. For now anyways...

A FB port of FIDO will follow.

Pete, I sent you an article.

Umm what part of WINDOWS 2000 did you not understand?

URSULE, is it possible that you forgot to bring your programs with you into Win2k, or that some paths are incorrect?

Open source once released.

Yeah, you can start a new project with the GUI template preloaded. Making a GUI-based program with FIDO is not easy, but it's easier than doing it by hand. My GUI Compiler, which is basically an FB version of VB, is specifically designed to be a visual GUI editor. And Nathan1993, it's for FB, hence ...

I wasn't going to show screenshots to the general public of this just yet, but a few people insisted that I do...so here ya go. :D Main view with the GUI template loaded: http://www.nodtveidt.net/fb/fido/fido-mainview.png New Project dialog: http://www.nodtveidt.net/fb/fido/fido-newprojectdialog.png...

FB will never be 100% QB compatible. It's not possible. Your only hope is to make some kind of translation utility.

Besides...when FIDO is released, most people will drop the old QB IDE anyways.

Most of what you do in QB you can also do in FB. Exceptions exist of course, but a great deal of vanilla QB code will compile unmodified in FB.

The GGA compo needs to be rebuilt. Besides, the nominations for Game Of The Year have ended already...the newer form should be up later today

QB itself presents more and more problems with each release of a Windows major version or patch. The reference to Nintendo is cute, but a more accurate correlation would be if they still coded games for the NES. :D Sure, they rehash old game designs, but they do it on their current hardware, not the...

FreeBASIC is a compiler, it has no IDE. So that means you need to have a sourcecode to compile and then run FB with the sourcecode to make the executable. It's not gonna be the same as QB, where you just run it and a nice pretty IDE comes up, ready for you to break stuff with. :D You can check out V...

Unfortunately, the server V Planet is hosted on had a RAID controller failure and went down for quite awhile. We ended up losing a bunch of data from other accounts as well, including my entire FreeBASIC page. Fortunately, everything is stored locally, so when everything's fixed on the server, I'll ...

Yeah, it's a little late, but it seems like most everyone forgot about it anyways. Let's face it...interest in QB has declined over the past few years...but with FB emerging now, there's going to be a whole new generation of coding fanatics about. Starting now in January, V Planet will be migrated t...

When you use TinyPTC, you're using DirectX and it's not trivial, but DX can be programmed proceduraly. All OOP code translates to procedural code anyways.
