Pete's QBASIC Site

does anyone know any way to make a network game with using a TCP/IP conection between two computer?

I do not believe it is possible, but there are many tutors out there on using winsock and your phone modem.

For QB, can DOS do that?

It is possible using IPX under DOS.

To use TCP/IP you need specific drivers and other messy things.


Under windows it's a piece of cake, get and use FreeBASIC. It has lots of network libraries ported to it.

Thanks, I'll give FB a try and try using the phone cable.

Would you believe that? More fork spam on my forum.

Look at the previous poster's post carefully. It's got the following hidden in it:
This is really starting to piss me off.

I'll delete the post in a little while, but I just wanted to leave it up as an example so that if you guys see any more posts like this you can tell me about them. (So I can delete them.)

well geez......that's the first I see of this spamming method....what's the point since most users won't click on what they can't see??? will they? .

me I go by what I see...very interesting... that's all i saw I didn't bother to see if and what else was in there.....in my opinion it's the most stupid spamming method I've seen to date...LOL...way to go Guest...you made my day LOL

Nah, it's not meant for you to click. It's meant for search engine spiders to read...

"Google bombing" they call it. Since your ranking is determined by "popularity" (the number of sites linking to yours), it's advantageous to spam other sites with links to your own site if you want to move up in the search engines.

lol...I prefer my version....

But yeah I know you're right . maygbe I should go to order.whatever and spam your website there...roflmao
