Pete's QBASIC Site

write a game in QB, who-du thunk it..

I think all methods are valued experiance and I like the "on event" inturupts because it means you can inturupt your code "emulating threding" qb multitasking? hmmm? - very valuable. I thought the question was how do inturupts work I guess, I jumped the gun going streight to bios...

I can remember feeding papertape, but my most fond memory's where the basic built into the first console game I ever got. the "odesey" had a very limited basic, nobody told me it was there i just played with it without a cartrige after watching tron to find it did respond to commands such ...

OK, I bite what school still teaches Qbasic? I might like to attend.. "write the program yourself man there are plenty of tutorials and program snipits available on petes site read them to figure it out I will give a hint though". 'begining the program****** 'make sure you declare your sub...

you can do 2 computers with a crossover cable if both are equiped with nic cards, I don't know any way to do three without a router. you might try a nullmodem cable on the last computer to one of the other two but it would be super slow.. let us know if you get anything to work personaly I would lik...

the problem is probably not a real error, but a explanation of whats wrong meaning, Open the source file and look for a "open" line that reads like this, Open "C:\foldername\filename.dat" for input as 1# this is the path where it is looking for the data if it isn't there then put...

closest I have seen is Bsave animations, I have gif,bmp&pcx viewers but the only "Animated" shots I have seen was Mallards in his tutorials and he describes ways of converting back and forth from diff formats but all have bsave as the middle man. his anim tutorial has a flying cartoon ...

I found this works like the checksum on an eprom, this size difference is caused by fragmentation in the pagefile meaning you have to view a bigger chunk than is nessicery to contain the file durring compile so you need to fix it so that the compile happens in a relitivly free memory perhaps freeing...

first you need to find a working inturupt source I use inturuptX found on the downloads/utilitys section of petes QB, it you can add as a sub to your programs, it only works with qb4.5 and it's the only routine I have found to work with intell machines under WinXP. now if you are using an inturprete...

an 8 bit mono record wave is what I am looking for the mic is an analog device the DSP is for midi A microphone is an analog device and it isnt digital. atleast not untill after it is processed that is what it is i am looking for..

all my computers a SB compatible and the "playwave" I have works ok in my program but how do I get the microphone or record samples?

If you do this trick, and say you dont have Qb on the comp you are on, it will show a popup to download or run choosing the run feature sometimes Graphics/input error's it out closing the page but qb from the server that is cool shiznit in my book too. If you download it then the second time through...

yep, though the htmlbuilder did ask for which compiler to use I give it C:\compiler/QB.exe just like that! when I hit the run Icon the little "cammera" it works. then I also played with starting qb from html the same way you would start a .wav in windows media player, that works too. It wo...

anyone with code to do mic recordings or voice recognition or even sampeling in qb?

when I got to my insertion here is how I done it <script> script = qb script blah blah blah </script> I just droped my basic in the erea where the blah is without the end statment and just put system in its place. the rest was prety automated the htmlbuilder prompted for how it was compiled I gave i...

I remember in the old days this #poundsign from a commodore64 on a p.c board would fry it they would have to reboot the server to get the board back and in some cases where this had happened repetedly it would wreck the Harddrive of the server not getting to park before reboot.. maybe I am mistaken ...

I would suggest downloading a example mouse program from petes called "inturuptx" it is the only working mouse I found to work with qb4.5 on windowsxp machines using intell processors... spend a day commenting the code it is worthwhile, you will be good from there add a fsecond and third i...

I recently tried a snipit of qb code from qb4.5 inside code tags in my html enviroment like if I was inserting a java applet but when my program was finished I clicked run and it did!
flawless qb inside IE7 how is it that this worked, is there a limit to what I can do with it?

thanks again burger!

thanks!
