also, nek, if you think about it, when you get stronger, you get a little less flexibility, which is where qb comes in, if you want the nick-picky stuff, go for q. They both have strong/weak points, so how about we all be fair and load both. once we've all become expert programmers in each, then we should have an all out brawl on which is better.

Yo_momma, I suggest you calm down, and stop acting like a jerk.

http://www.ojodepez-fanzine.net/network/qbdl/

I suggest you pick QB 4.5 or PDS 7.1

If you want the complete install disks, you can find them on the site too.


Got any more excuses? Maybe your internet connection is down? Oh, your dog ate your HD? QB doesent work? But it's superior! Surely QB must work flawlessly in Windows XP?

What in the fork?! "My superior opinion"... how is your opinion superior to anyone on this forum?

FB has about 90% of the syntax of QB... you're making it sound like it's somehow so much different.

"Put this forum back to 2D games..." this is a forum dedicated to programming in Basic, nowhere does it say "QB Games Forum".

And if you're a new programmer, you can't slam people who've had YEARS more experience than you and then duck out because you can't find your archive of previously coded programs.

Funny how you say "people who've been coding in it for a long time don't wanna give it up", yet you said it yourself, "I'm not that good." I myself have never coded anything large enough to have to deal with memory issues (nothing a good CLEAR,,5000 couldn't fix) but guess what? I'm going to be rewriting my engine for the second time, this time in FB. I sugest you read the article in this month's QB Express about all the problems QB has, and then come back with a more educated opinion about things.

What can I say...

alright, if i have qb, then theres nothing to complain about
thanks
and i'm not trying to be a jerk
as the most helpful people on this site are saying, THEY'RE BOTH EQUALLY DIFFERENT AND EQUALLY GOOD.
how about we just end this right here and now by saying that we all love each other and that there really shouldn't be any more fighting over which is better

peace out dudes :)

QB is not flexible at all today, unless you're using a computer from the 80s or 90s...QB has no place on an XP-based system except for the simplest of console apps or some games...getting sound to work in a QB game is harder than ever, even with VDMsound...memory problems abound left and right...using EMS is horribly difficult to do now...XMS is limited to 2.0 (3.0 isn't supported)...the list of roadblocks with using QB far outweigh the "convenience factor" of using it. FB was designed for the systems of *today* and that's one of the *many* reasons why it is very superior to the old QB. QB may be better for *you*, but in terms of absolute power and *flexibility as a whole*, FB is a far superior product and you have to be an absolute zealot to think otherwise...

alright, just so everyone knows, this is my last post, because i really don't want to kill or be killed by anyone else on this server whose been programming for a day or 20 years. at this point, i think that we should really just hold hands and sing (maybe i could program a picture of that...hehehe) so cyanara

peace out :)

For DOS emulation, XP is shit. 2000 is no exception either. If you want to have good DOS emulation while running Windows, stick to 98SE/ME.

We arent fighting. You are.

FB is superior to QB.. end of story, if you want examples, read my post a page back or so.

Maybe you think it's better, well.. good for you, noone cares. Just like noone cares about how you dont dare try FB, nor what you think about something that you obviously never tried.


Now, as you have QB, pretty much any version of BASIC you want actually..

Would you mind producing the code for the challenge I stated? Or is it too hard for you?

Haha... yeah, I once read that in XP and 2000 they improved the DOS emulation because in ME and below it sucked.

THEY LIE!

Why? I dont get it! I leave for 2 seconds and I become a piece of the conversation! Lets say that "qB Iz gUD eND PhREEbasiK EZ GUD 2". As for 2D games, I heard that game-boy's use the same processor thats in a TI-84 Plus SE. Ain't that kinda cool? I mean, nobody actually does any graphing on those things. Teachers think that if a kid has his graphing calculator out that he MUST be doing some sort of math thingamajiger. When really all the kid is doing is playin' snood or something similar. What is this world coming to? Go figure.

Not exactly. The TI-84 Plus SE uses a 15 MHz ZiLOG Z80, the Gameboy uses a modified Z80 clone at 4.19MHz but it's got some differences, such as no I/O ports and the absence of index registers. The two machines use the Z80 family but they're not identical. :D

Let me get this straight, the TI-84 Plus SE has a FASTER processor than a game boy?

:shock: How did I miss all this? nm....

Heh.... I can't stand Game Boys that much,. that lack of a back lit dysplay hurts the eyes... GBA and NDS are nice tho, I'd get a PSP with GT4 if I was in that market.... 8)

Oh btw: FB is FB, QB is QB.... Which ever you use is your choice, not ones better than the other.... Ones ment for one thing, and the other the another, and neither one rocks more than the other since their playing field is different.... And niether one slacks in use of knowledge.. OpenGL is cleaner, but like others said,. if you don't know how 3D works,. your just as screwed with it too....

I have a nice FB site, with QB things on it too: http://members.aol.com/rattrapmax6/

Thats amazing, ever since I got one Ive been trying to make (96x64, greyscale) games on it. Its really hard! Every site that has a tutorial on it tells you something else.
