Post any porgram you have created or modified, finished or unfinished. Post a link to you program/ code if possbile (i.e. Dropbox), as copy and paste doesn't work in Qbasic only QB64 and retyping a program leaves alot of room for errors.
Note: Any programs you post can be downloaded, modified and reposted by anyone, so do not post if you do not want this to happen.

Here is a simple countdown program I wrote just for fun. You can set the countdown length. You can also set what the program says after the countdown. The scroll the program talks about is a little arrow the moves across the screen after the countdown. Feel free to download, use and edit this program.

Here is a simple jewel elimination style game that I made last week.

Good game but only the right arrow key work for me and I can't get past the first line, is there a bug in the program or is it my computer?

Same here. K is missing to go left.

The code allows you to use just CAP letter keys too

Are you using the arrow keys to move the cursor?

Of course and like I said the CHR$(0) + K is missing to go left. Why don't you fix it. It doesn't move any way but right.

It works on all of the computers that I have tested it on.
Try this link to the exe and actual source file. http://www.geekbasic.com/downloads/QJEWEL.ZIP Stuff was lost while posting here.

Also, why would I need chr$(0) when I have SELECT CASE RIGHT$(in$, 1)?

I downloaded and it works with DosBox but it is very skippy and slow

Also, why would I need chr$(0) when I have SELECT CASE RIGHT$(in$, 1)?

You don't. That's why K would work too, like I said...

ahh I misread your post.

and Qbasic +inkey$+circles + Dosbox = slow

Try using QB64. It will run super fast!
